This year the EFL League One promotions are Birmingham City and Wrexham on points, and Charlton Athletic from winning the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Birmingham City bounced right back to the Championship after just one season in League One. Prior to that relegation, the Blues had been in the 2nd flight for 13 straight campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wrexham, meanwhile, continues their amazing climb through the pyramid. They earned their third promotion in as many seasons and are back in the second tier for the first time since the 1981-82 season. I wonder if they&#8217;ll get some publicity from all this success&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Charlton Athletic is back in the Championship for the first time since the COVID-impacted 2019-20 campaign. They will hope to avoid a repeat of that performance, which saw them bounced after just one season there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Birmingham City (<a href=\"https:\/\/sportspaper.info\/2023-24-birmingham-city-match-publications\/\">2023-24<\/a>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_2024-03-16_wafc-bcfc.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"846\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_2024-03-16_wafc-bcfc.webp\" alt=\"Matchday 38: Birmingham City vs. Watford (March 16, 2024)\" class=\"wp-image-7516\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_2024-03-16_wafc-bcfc.webp 611w, https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_2024-03-16_wafc-bcfc-217x300.webp 217w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">vs. Watford (March 16, 2024)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wrexham (<a href=\"https:\/\/sportspaper.info\/1981-82-wrexham-match-publications\/\">1981-82<\/a>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_1981-09-12_ncfc-wrfc.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1110\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_1981-09-12_ncfc-wrfc.webp\" alt=\"Matchday 3: Wrexham vs. Norwich City (September 12, 1981)\n\" class=\"wp-image-7520\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_1981-09-12_ncfc-wrfc.webp 1600w, https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_1981-09-12_ncfc-wrfc-300x208.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_1981-09-12_ncfc-wrfc-1024x710.webp 1024w, https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_1981-09-12_ncfc-wrfc-768x533.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_1981-09-12_ncfc-wrfc-1536x1066.webp 1536w, https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_1981-09-12_ncfc-wrfc-1422x987.webp 1422w, https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_1981-09-12_ncfc-wrfc-1074x745.webp 1074w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">vs. Norwich City (September 12, 1981)\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Charlton Athletic (<a href=\"https:\/\/sportspaper.info\/2019-20-charlton-athletic-match-publications\/\">2019-20<\/a>)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_2019-10-19_dcfc-chafc.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"725\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_2019-10-19_dcfc-chafc-725x1024.webp\" alt=\"Charlton Athletic vs. Derby County (October 19, 2019)\" class=\"wp-image-7541\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_2019-10-19_dcfc-chafc-725x1024.webp 725w, https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_2019-10-19_dcfc-chafc-212x300.webp 212w, https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_2019-10-19_dcfc-chafc-768x1085.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.sportspaper.info\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/english-football-program_2019-10-19_dcfc-chafc.webp 1021w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 725px) 100vw, 725px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">vs. Derby County (October 19, 2019)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The\u00a02024-25 EFL League One season\u00a0has drawn to a close and it\u2019s time to recognize the clubs that will be leaving via promotion for the Championship.
