While the EFL League Two (also referred to here as League 2) might be the bottom of English football’s four professional leagues, do not be fooled into thinking that the quality is low and the fun non-existent. In fact, EFL League Two is a fantastic watch and in many ways the lifeblood of English football. It’s great not only for viewing and spectating but also for EFL League Two betting, the main focus of this page.

Popular EFL League 2 Betting Markets
English football’s fourth and final league can throw up an impressive range of football betting markets. With a great deal of options for bettors to sink their teeth into, here are just a few of the available EFL League 2 betting options.
Outright Winner
If there is a team that you have a strong hunch might win the league, then this is the bet for you. Here, all punters are required to do is successfully predict the League Two winner at the end of the season. Do that, and you’re in the money.
Top Two Finish
Not quite the same thing as an each way bet, this is a one stake wager on a team to finish inside the top two places, essentially just above the playoff places. Given the structure of the league (below), this is basically a bet to win promotion which, if you were to also place such a bet with a bookmaker, would provide you with a potential third option: the playoff winner.
To Finish Bottom
If there is a team that you think will struggle in the upcoming season and eventually finish on the bottom of the entire table, then you might want to consider this bet, whereby you are predicting exactly that.
Next Manager Sacked
This is not the same as a first manager to be sacked bet. A bet such as this one can pay out at any point of the season, and is designed purely to predict which manager will be the next to lose their job.
EFL League 2 Tournament Structure
The EFL League 2 is played with 24 teams in the competition. Each of these sides must play each of the other clubs twice, once home and once away. Teams are awarded three points for a win and one point for a draw. These points are then tallied up into a league table over a nine-month season that spans August to May.
In May, when the last game has been played, the team on top will be crowned champions. This team will then, along with the team who finished second, receive automatic promotion to the EFL League One. They will then be joined by the winner of the playoffs which is contested by the teams that finish third through sixth. These teams will then be replaced by the three teams that are dropping out of EFL League One.
History of the EFL League 2
The EFL League 2, as it has been known since 2004, is the fourth professional football league in England and Wales. In the past, it was called Division Two and prior to 1992, Division Three. The league was originally launched in two regional sections, north and south. Then, in 1958, the authorities brought together the regionalised Third Division North and Third Division South to create one national league.
