Following Notts County’s promotion in Monday's play-off final, which means Salford remain in the fourth tier, bookmakers are now offering title and promotion odds for all 24 clubs taking part in the 2026/27 League Two season. Cobblers are back in the division following relegation from League One, joined by Rotherham, Port Vale and Exeter City. Meanwhile, Rochdale and York City have been promoted into the league from the National League. Here’s how the bookies rate each club’s chances at this early stage…
1. Barnet
Title odds: 10/1 (9%). Promotion odds: 15/8 (35%). Narrowly missed out on the play-offs in 2025/26, finishing eighth under Dean Brennan Photo: Richard Pelham
2. Port Vale
Title odds: 10/1 (9%). Promotion odds: 15/8 (35%). Went straight back down last season but improved under Jon Brady and will be well backed so look well set for a strong challenge in League Two Photo: Jan Kruger
3. Rotherham United
Title odds: 10/1 (9%). Promotion odds: 15/8 (35%). Will be seen as a big fish in the fourth tier and so should be up there - but after such a terrible campaign, and still with no manager in place, there are no guarantees Photo: Pete Norton
4. Chesterfield
Title odds: 11/1 (8%). Promotion odds: 9/4 (30%). Lost in the play-offs for the second straight season after finishing 6th under Paul Cook Photo: Matthew Lewis
