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…
9. Gillingham
Title: 14/1 (7%). Promotion: 7/2 (22%). Petered out badly under Gareth Ainsworth last season but another club with a wealthy owner Photo: James Chance
10. Northampton Town
Title: 16/1 (6%). Promotion: 7/2 (22%). Ranked as the 9th or 10th most likely side to win the title according to the early odds - but a lot can and will change before the first ball is kicked Photo: Pete Norton
11. Swindon
Title: 16/1 (6%). Promoted: 4/1 (20%). Spent most of 25/26 in the play-offs but fell out right at the end as things unravelled under Ian Holloway Photo: Harry Trump
12. Colchester United
Title: 18/1 (5%). Promotion: 5/1 (17%). Looked good at times under the Cowleys but inconsistency cost them a play-off place Photo: Stephen Pond
