2010-11 2012-13

L'edizione 2011-2012 della Football League Championship (detta Npower League per ragioni di sponsorizzazione) è stato il 109º campionato di calcio inglese di seconda divisione, il diciannovesimo sotto il formato attuale.

Al termine della stagione precedente sono state promosse in Premier League il Queens Park Rangers, il Norwich City, che sono arrivate rispettivamente 1^a e 2^a al termine della stagione regolare, mentre lo Swansea City è riuscito a raggiungere la promozione attraverso i Play-off (era arrivata 3^a al termine della stagione regolare). Il Preston (22^a), lo Sheffield United (23^a) e lo Scunthorpe United (24^a) non sono riuscite, invece, a mantenere la categoria e sono retrocesse in League One.

Queste sei squadre sono state rimpiazzate dalle tre retrocesse dalla Premier League: il Birmingham City (nonostante la vittoria nella Carling Cup e un buon inizio di campionato), il Blackpool ed il West Ham che sono arrivate, rispettivamente, 18^a, 19^a e 20^a e dalle tre neopromosse provenienti dalla League One: il Brighton & Hove, il Peterborough ed il Southampton. Inoltre da questa stagione la Football Association (FA) e la FAW decideranno insieme le azioni disciplinari da prendere nei confronti dei club gallesi in Premier League ed in Championship (quindi lo Swansea City e il Cardiff City).
