About the League One simulator
Run the rest of the 2026-27 campaign through the League One simulator: each score you type into a future match rebuilds the table instantly. Simulate season lets the model fill every remaining game in one click, and Clear takes the table back to the real standings.
The projected table shows three zones: the top two go up automatically, third to sixth enter the playoffs and the bottom four are relegated. Seven clubs arrived from other divisions this summer, three from the Championship and four from League Two, and the model rates each one from the table it played in last season.
How to use the League One simulator
- Type a score into any game that has not been played and the projected table reorders straight away.
- Simulate matchday fills only the current round, handy for moving through the season one set of games at a time.
- Matches already played stay locked at their real scores, so every scenario starts from the points clubs have actually won.
- Clear removes every score you or the model entered and restores the live standings.
- Check your projection against the real League One table whenever you like.
League One simulator FAQ
What decides the scores in the League One simulator?
Every scoreline is a random Poisson draw, weighted slightly toward the home team. A club's rating comes from last season's goal difference per game in its own division, plus a fixed step for each level of the pyramid, so a side relegated from the Championship starts from a higher base than one promoted from League Two.
Who goes up through the League One playoffs?
The winner of a four-club playoff between the teams finishing third to sixth. In the two-legged semifinals, the club in third takes on the club in sixth, fourth faces fifth, and the higher finisher is at home in the second leg. The winners meet in a one-off final at Wembley, where a draw goes to extra time and then penalties.
How many points does it take to go up from League One?
It changes from year to year, but 2025-26 is a guide. Cardiff City took the second automatic place with 91 points, and Stevenage claimed the last playoff spot in sixth on 75, one point ahead of Luton Town, so the two lines were 16 points apart.
