The Football League Championship (often referred to as The Championship
for short, or the Coca-Cola Football League Championship for sponsorship
reasons) is the highest division of The Football League and second-highest
division overall in the English football league system after the Premier
League.
The Football League Championship was introduced for the 2004.05 season,
having been previously known as the Football League First Division.
According to Deloitte, in the 2004.05 season it was the richest non-top
flight football division in the world, and the sixth richest division
in Europe.
The winners of the Coca Cola Championship receive the Football League
Championship trophy which is the same trophy as the old First Division
Champions (now the Premier League) were handed prior to the Premier
League's inception in the 1992/1993 season.
