UK Championship History: 2000-2023

By having Super League above and League One below, it's inevitable that there will be a fair amount of annual change in participants. Green squares mean the club was promoted, purple relegated, orange ceased to exist in one of the three divisions or at all. The number shows where they finished in the league, fourteen being the highest and reducing one point per placing. 

Both Castleford and Salford have the distinction of twice being promoted immediately back up to Super League after one season in this lower divsion. Featherstone has been here longer than any other club over this period of time. 

Leigh went up to SL three times and came straight back down although it won't be happening a fourth time. Halifax's stretch in this division is nineteen consecutive years with a twentieth season guaranteed. There are plenty of other angles you may enjoy noting in the chart below.
