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…
