Understanding the EFL Standings

There are 24 teams in the EFL Championship, and they battle it out with each between the months of August and May to try and finish as high up the table as possible. In this section, we will explain how the teams are ranked as well as take a gander at promotion and relegation rules.

How the EFL Championship Standings are Calculated

The EFL Championship makes use of round robin format where every team plays each other twice across the course of the season – one match is at home and the other one is away.

Since there are 24 teams in the league, each team will play 46 matches in a campaign. A team that wins will be rewarded with three points, if there is no winner then both teams earn a point, while a losing team will receive nothing.

The teams are ranked in the table according to the number of points that they gain. If teams are level on points, then a team’s position will be determined by goal difference, goals scored, and then the head-to-head record.

If teams are still level after all these dividing factors and promotion or relegation is at stake, then there will be a play-off match to determine the final position.

Promotion and Relegation Rules in EFL/ English Football System

At the end of the season, the teams in first and second place will earn automatic promotion to the Premier League. The teams that finish third, fourth, fifth, and sixth will compete in a play-off for the final promotion spot in the EPL.

On the other hand, the three teams that finish at the bottom of the table will find themselves relegated to League 1.

Top of the Championship Table

At the time of writing, Sunderland are siting at the top of the table, which is a huge improvement to their 2023/24 campaign. Last season, they finished in 16th place and went through no fewer than three managers along the way.

Regis Le Bris is the man in charge at the Stadium of Light, and they now play some stylish counter-attacking football. They are the top scorers in the league with 16 goals from eight games, while they also have a solid defence. Two things that bode well for promotion.

Championship Teams in Danger of Relegation

At the other end of the table, Cardiff City are looking in a lot of trouble already. They have just four points from eight matches, but their main concern will be how porous they are at the back and how blunt they are in attack.

They have been conceding 2.13 goals per game, while they have scored just the three goals. Portsmouth and Queens Park Rangers are the two other teams that are struggling to pick up points.

Championship Goals Scored & Conceded

The Championship is a very entertaining league to watch because of how competitive it is and the fact that goals are never in short supply.

During the 2023/24 season, there was an average of 2.68 goals per match in the Championship, while the average this season is standing at 2.56.

It is pretty similar in League One and League Two, with the former averaging 2.55 goals per game last season and the latter averaging 2.98.

Manchester City hold the record for the most goals scored in a single Championship season, having scored 108 during the 2001/02 campaign.

Shaun Goater was their top scorer with 28 goals. The team which has conceded the most in EFL history across a season is Rotherham, who let in 98 goals in 43 matches in the 2016/17 campaign.
