The Football League Third Division 1948/49 was the 22nd season of the third highest English football league . The division, which is divided into north and south seasons, had their two champions, Hull City and Swansea Town, and at the same time promoted to the Football League Second Division . For the two promoted teams in the third division season 1949/50, the two second division clubs Nottingham Forest and Lincoln City ranked in the table below . Nobody had to relegate from both third division seasons, because both the lower-placed north clubs FC Southport and Bradford City as well as FC Aldershot and Crystal Palace in the south received enough votes in the reelection process of the league association to participate again in the 1949/50 season Third Division to participate.
