What’s been happening (context you might find useful)
- League One has been the third tier of British rugby league, with periodic structural reviews from the RFL that affect team numbers, promotion/relegation, and the pyramid below Super League. Recent discussions have included potential expansion and alignment of leagues in the mid-2020s.[3][4]
- There have been reports in 2024 of expansion interest from clubs outside traditional bases (for example Goole Vikings RLFC publicly expressing interest in joining Betfred League One for the 2025 season) as the RFL considered a “managed restructure” below Super League.[1]
- Official or near-official updates typically come from the Rugby Football League’s channels and regional club announcements, and from reputable rugby league outlets that cover lower-tier competition changes and membership processes.[2][1]
