England · Tier 4

League Two

In US-sports termsThe fourth and final fully-pro tier — the basement of the paid game. Finish last here and you drop out of professional soccer entirely.
What it is
Fourth tier, 24 clubs — the basement of the fully professional 'Football League.'
How you get in
Relegated from League One or promoted from the semi-pro National League (yes, it keeps going down).
What it feeds
Top 3 up automatically + a playoff winner. Bottom 2 drop out of the professional league entirely.
The 92 clubs across these four divisions are the only ones who play the Carabao Cup.
