Kejuaraan adalah divisi non-top terkaya [[asosiasi sepak bola | sepakbola]] di dunia dan divisi ketujuh terkaya di Eropa. <ref> {{cite web | title = Pendapatan kumulatif dari liga 'lima besar' Eropa yang tumbuh oleh 5% di 2012/13 hingga € 9,8 miliar | url=https://www2.deloitte.com/ba/en/pages/press/press-2014-06-05.html | situs web = deloitte.com | publisher = Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited | accessdate = 5 Agustus 2015}} </ref> Dengan kehadiran rata-rata pertandingan untuk [[2016–17 EFL Championship | 2016–17 musim]] dari 20.130 Kejuaraan berada di peringkat kedua setelah Jerman [[2.

Ini termasuk dalam kerumunan tertinggi untuk tingkat kedua hingga keempat di Inggris sejak [[1958–59 dalam sepakbola Inggris | musim 1958–59]]. <ref> {{cite news | url=https://www.bbc .co.uk / sport / football / 39885344 | title = EFL: Lebih dari 18 juta penggemar menonton pertandingan di 2016-17 | penerbit = BBC Sport | date = 11 Mei 2017 | accessdate = 2 Maret 2018}} </ref>
== Struktur liga ==
Liga ini terdiri dari 24 tim. Selama satu musim, yang berlangsung setiap tahun dari Agustus hingga Mei berikutnya, masing-masing tim bermain dua kali melawan yang lain di liga, sekali di 'kandang' dan sekali 'tandang', sehingga masing-masing tim berlaga dalam 48 pertandingan secara total. Tiga poin diberikan untuk menang, satu untuk seri dan nol untuk kekalahan. Tim-tim tersebut diperingkatkan dalam tabel liga berdasarkan poin yang diperoleh, kemudian selisih gol, lalu gol yang dicetak dan kemudian rekor head-to-head mereka untuk musim itu. Dalam hal dua tim atau lebih menyelesaikan musim sama dalam semua hal ini, tim dipisahkan oleh urutan abjad, kecuali promosi, degradasi atau tempat play-off (lihat di bawah) dipertaruhkan, ketika tim dipisahkan oleh permainan -dari permainan, meskipun situasi yang mustahil ini tidak pernah muncul selama bertahun-tahun aturan tersebut ada. <ref> {{cite web | url=http://www.sporting-life.com/football/live/tables/cc_champ. html | archiveurl = url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060509014633/url=https://www.sportinglife.com/football/live/tables/cc_champ.html | archivedate = 9 Mei 2006 | title = Championship | publisher = Sporting Life | accessdate = 2 April 2008}} </ref>
Pada akhir musim, dua tim teratas dan pemenang [[play-off Liga Championship | playoff Championship]] dipromosikan ke Liga Premier dan tiga tim terbawah diturunkan ke [[Football League One ]]. Play-off Football League Championship adalah kompetisi knock-out untuk tim yang menyelesaikan musim di tempat ketiga hingga keenam dengan pemenangnya dipromosikan ke Liga Premier. Di babak play-off, tim yang berada di posisi ketiga bermain melawan tim yang berada di posisi keenam dan tim yang berada di posisi keempat bermain melawan tim yang berada di posisi kelima di semifinal berkaki dua (rumah dan tandang). Pemenang setiap semifinal kemudian bersaing dalam satu pertandingan di stadion Wembley dengan hadiah promosi ke Liga Premier dan trofi play-off Championship.
