The China League One (aka Chinese Jia League) is the second tier professional league for Chinese football clubs. The league is under the auspices of the Chinese Football Association. Above the League One is Chinese Super League.
Prior to the formation of Chinese Super League, Jia League was known as Jia B League. The then top two levels of Chinese football league were known as Jia A League and Jia B League respectively. Jia A was rebranded as CSL and Jia B was rebranded as the current Jia League in 2004. Below the Jia League is the Yi League, following the Chinese Heavenly Stems naming convention of numbers.
It is currently made up of 13 teams, playing home and away. At the end of each season, the top two will be promoted to CSL and the two lowest placed teams from CSL will be relegated to the Jia League. It will expand to 14 teams next season as top-2 from Yi League will promote and only last placed team will be relegated.
