Ligaen blev stiftet på et møde den 22. marts 1888 som Football League efter et initiativ fra Aston Villas direktør, William McGregor, og dermed er det den ældste professionelle fodboldliga i verden. 8. september samme år startede den første sæson med 12 klubber, men antallet steg hurtigt og var i 1959 blevet til 92 klubber. Indtil 1992 bestod ligaen af fire divisioner på niveau 1-4 i Ligasystemet i engelsk fodbold, men i 1992 brød de 20 bedste klubber ud af ligaen og dannede deres egen liga, FA Premier League. The Football League repræsenterer ikke disse klubber længere, selvom det er op- og nedrykning mellem Premier League og The Football League.
