League One will be contested by five Yorkshire clubs in the 2026/27 campaign.
Barnsley, Bradford City, Doncaster Rovers and Huddersfield Town all feature in the third tier for another season, while Rotherham United have been replaced by Sheffield Wednesday as the fifth Yorkshire club after the Millers were relegated to League Two and the Owls finished bottom of the Championship.
Many of the Yorkshire clubs will have promotion ambitions in the upcoming season, not least Sheffield Wednesday, who are the second favourites to win the League One title as they commence a new era under the ownership of American billionaire investor David Storch.
The Owls are overseeing a major squad rebuild after the team was dismantled in the final chapters of Dejphon Chansiri's reign before entering administration.
Nine new faces have passed through the entrance of Wednesday's Middlewood Road training complex so far, including former midfield hero Barry Bannan, Louie Barry and Ricardo Santos, with the expectation that plenty more are to arrive as Henrik Pedersen's options are bolstered.
Huddersfield are preparing for their third consecutive season in League One after being heavily tipped to achieve promotion in the previous two.
Kevin Nagle's reign as Terriers owner has failed to bear fruit, with the hires of Michael Duff, Lee Grant and Liam Manning failing to secure a return to the Championship.
Following Manning's departure for personal reasons, Nagle has opted to promote from within and Huddersfield will hope the continuity provided by the appointment of Martin Drury will help them over the line on this occasion.
Bradford City occupied a top six spot for all but one gameweek of the season as Graham Alexander's men finished fourth last term before suffering an agonising play-off semi-final defeat to Bolton Wanderers.
The Bantams have made some eye-catching signings, including Adam Phillips from Barnsley and Macaulay Gillesphey from Charlton Athletic, and they appear primed for another crack at the top six.
Doncaster are another Yorkshire club who have been busy in the transfer market and Grant McCann will be hoping their strong end to the previous campaign will act as a springboard to challenge the upper echelons of the division.
A six-figure fee has been splashed on 20-goal attacking midfielder Isaac Hutchinson, while Rovers have so far retained key men Luke Molyneux and Owen Bailey.
Following an overwhelmingly disappointing season for Barnsley, the Tykes have returned to former comforts with the appointment of Daniel Stendel as their new head coach.
Stendel's win percentage during his first stint at Oakwell is the third-best of any Barnsley manager since 1995, behind Valerien Ismael and Michael Duff, although he faces a tough task to revive a club that's seemingly drifted after two unsuccessful play-off campaigns.
