The story of English
Football
From 12 founder members contesting the very first Football League season in 1888-89, to a modern pyramid of dozens of divisions spanning the entire country — English domestic football has grown into the most followed league system in the world.
EnglishFootballVault is the complete historical record of English league football across every tier, from the Premier League and EFL down through the National League and non-league pyramid, plus the full history of the FA Cup back to its very first competition in 1871-72 — including byes, walkovers, replays, extra time and penalty shootouts.
