The Promotion Race
Bromley's 87-point title win was a historic achievement for the south London club. MK Dons' 86 goals in 46 games highlighted the division's attacking quality, while Cambridge United's defence conceded just 33 all season — the best record among the promoted sides.
Bromley's rise from non-league football to League One is one of the great stories of recent English football. MK Dons bounced back after dropping down the pyramid. Cambridge United's disciplined campaign earned them automatic promotion.
Relegation
Tranmere Rovers (41 pts) and Crawley Town (40 pts) were among the clubs relegated to the National League. Both struggled throughout the season.
The Story: Bromley's Historic Title Win
Bromley won the League Two title on goal difference in a remarkable, fiercely contested season. Their 46-game campaign produced 87 points and 71 goals — an achievement that seemed unimaginable just a few years ago when the club was in the non-league pyramid.
Notts County — the world's oldest football club — finished fifth in the regular season with 80 points and reached the play-off final. Their resilience underlines the squad depth built at Meadow Lane in recent seasons.
Looking Ahead
Bromley, MK Dons and Cambridge United face League One. The play-off winner joins them. Tranmere and Crawley drop to the National League.
