English Football League. Seasons: 1888-89/1889-90

Welcome to the first two seasons of the English Football League and their results. How did the history of English football begin! Founded in 1888, the Football League is the oldest such competition in world football. The 1888-89 Football League was the first edition of the Football League, which ran from the autumn of 1888 until the spring of 1889. The Football League was formally created and named in Manchester during a meeting on 17 April 1888. The season began on 8 September 1888 with 12 member clubs from the Midlands and North of England.. Each club played the other twice, once at home and once away. The 1889-90 Football League was the second season of English league football, with Preston North End being crowned as the champions for the second successive season. The clubs competing were the 12 original clubs which were the founders of the league the previous year. Unlike the modern system, two points were awarded for a win, with one for a draw and no points for a loss; this system was carried on until the 1980s when teams were awarded three points for a win.
