League Levels I-IV

Coverage

These tables cover all the levels of the Premier League and Football League:

There is a summary of champions at these various levels on a separate page.

All-time Table

There is an all-time League table, covering completed seasons from 1888, and a second table just covering seasons since Reading joined the League in 1920. Note that Port Vale's record includes eight games when they took over Leeds City's fixtures in 1919-20. Records for merged clubs (Burton Swifts/Wanderers/United and Rotherham County/Town/United) have been combined, but those for divided clubs (Wimbledon/MK Dons/AFC Wimbledon) have been kept separate.
