The Football League Third Division 1938/39football league and at the same time the last season before the outbreak of World War II , which resulted in an interruption of the official game operations until the resumption in the 1946/47 season. The division, which is divided into the north and south seasons, had their two champions, Barnsley FC and Newport County, and at the same time promoted players to the Football League Second Division . For the two promoted teams in the third division season 1946/47, the two second division clubs Norwich City and Tranmere Rovers, ranked in the table below, took their places. Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed northern clubs Hartlepools United and Accrington Stanley as well as FC Walsall and Bristol Rovers in the south received enough votes in the re-election process of the league association to participate again in the 1939/40 season Third Division to participate.
