The top 3 teams from each lower level league advance to the next league up (i.e. If a Championship League team finishes in the top 3 next year they will be in the Premier League) It works in reverse to the bottom 3 team get relegated to the next division down ( so if a League 1 team finishes in the bottom 3 they will be moved down to League 2)
