The Football League Third Division 1925/26football league . The division, which is divided into the north and south, had their two champions Grimsby Town and Reading FC and at the same time promoted players to the Football League Second Division . For the two promoted teams in the following third division season 1926/27, the two second division clubs FC Stoke and Stockport County ranked in the table below . Both relegated were placed in the Northern Division and Coventry City moved "to the South". Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed northern clubs FC Walsall and AFC Barrow as well as Charlton Athletic and Queens Park Rangers in the south received enough votes in the reelection process of the league association to repeat them in the following 1926/27 season to participate in the Third Division.
