English Football League Championship (kısaca Championship ve sponsorluk anlaşmalarınca Sky Bet Championship adlarıyla da anılır), English Football League’in (EFL) en yüksek bölümü ve Premier League’den sonra İngiliz futbol ligi sistemindeki en yüksek ikinci seviye ligdir. Lig 24 kulübün katılımıyla organize edilir. Her sezon, lig tablosunun en üst iki sırasında yer alan takımlar, otomatik olarak Premier Leagu’e yükselir. Sezonu, 3. ila 6. sırada tamamlayan takımlar, bir play-off turnuvasına katılır ve kazanan takım ilk iki sıradaki takımların ardından Premier League’e yükselir. Lig tablosunun son üç sırasındaki takımlar, sezon sonunda League One’a düşerler.
