In this article, we check out the EFL League Two Outright Title Winner, Promotion and Relegation odds for the 2026/27 season.
Preparations for the new campaign are well underway, just weeks to go until it begins, clubs have moved on from released and retained lists, and the transfer window is open, looking at which areas of the squad needs strengthening.
We can also expect plenty of changes this summer, having already seen a number of managers saying farewell and looking for new ventures.
York City and Rochdale were promoted from the National League, replacing Harrogate Town and Barrow who were relegated.
Bromley, Milton Keynes Dons, Cambridge United and Notts County were promoted to League One. Exeter City, Port Vale, Rotherham United and Northampton Town were relegated from League One.
The 2026/27 League Two season, will be the 23rd season of the EFL League Two under its current title, and the 35th season under its current league division format.
It will be under the title sponsor Sky Bet for a 10th year, having previously been npower, and before that, Coca-Cola, Nationwide, Endsleigh, Barclays, Today and Canon.
Right then, time to take a look at the League Two outright title winner, promotion, top seven and relegation odds, now that it’s revealed for the 2026/27 season…

@Callum__RUFC:
1st Bristol Rovers
2nd Rotherham
3rd Port Vale
Play off winners: Oldham
@RichardSTFC94: Crazy isn’t it how long we’ve been stuck in the bottom of the league with everyone else moving up, we’re now probably the biggest club attendance wise in the league at like 8.5k, that’s shocking how bad we’ve been 😬 #Swindon #STFC
@CraigNeild:
Champions: Bristol Rovers
Promoted: York, Rotherham
Play-offs: Chesterfield
@EsteemSeeker77:
I think history is going to repeat itself for Chesterfield; lose to Notts County in the P/Os, only to get promoted the following season.
Champs: Bristol Rovers
Promoted: Chesterfield & Grimsby
P/O Winners: Rotherham
Relegated:
Salford = Wishful Thinking

@alyn_line:
Champions: Chesterfield
Promoted: York City
Grimsby Town
POW: Bristol Rovers
@GrimsbyBoy1984: So many similar sized clubs in comparison to other leagues – should be our chance of top 3 with probably the best ownership/infrastructure and data in the league. #gtfc
@FredPerry1965: League 2 is wide open next season. There will be clubs prepared to spend big to do an MK, I can’t see any of them doing a Bromley.
@MardyMariner98: Everyone will get excited about York but I suspect they’ll replicate what Oldham did. It’s a pretty fair league next year. I expect Rovers and Exeter to be up there, Vale too, us and Chesterfield. There’s some who could be but ownership is an issue and Salford… well
@EddieFogden: Salford, York and Chesterfield will get the automatics in my opinion.
@GrimsbyBoy1984: Can’t see York getting autos , teams that come up hardly ever do first season unless they going to throw similar amounts of money at it to Wrexham or Stockport ?
@EddieFogden: York will splash the cash and they have a pretty decent squad with loads of goals in it already
@MattyBeer: It will be interesting to see. They are already rumoured to lose a few players, plus if that decent squad includes players like Hunt we already know he’s not strong enough for league 2 (cue him proving us all wrong)
@EddieFogden: Certain players seem to play better in other teams, certainly seen a few of our ex players thrive higher up. Pepple springs to mind as one of the most recent
