The 2016–17 English Football League is the 118th season of the English Football League. It will begin on 6 August 2016 and conclude on 6 May 2017,[1] with the promotion play-off finals at Wembley Stadium on dates to be announced later. The EFL is contested through three Divisions. The divisions are the Championship, League One and League Two. The winner and the runner up of the Championship will be automatically promoted to the Premier League and they will be joined by the winner of the Championship playoff. The bottom two teams in League Two will be relegated to the National League.

It is the league's first season after rebranding from the Football League to the English Football League.[2]
