I break betting odds news as it happens, so you’re never left behind when the market moves or a top offer lands.

  • Luton Town are 4/1 favourites to win the League One title in 2025/26 after consecutive relegations.
  • Cardiff (13/2) and Plymouth (17/2) follow in the market, with Stockport and Bolton next in line.
  • Odds available now at Paddy Power, with free bets across leading UK betting sites.

Luton Lead League One Title Betting Following Double Drop

Luton Town are the early 4/1 favourites to win League One in the 2025/26 season, with Paddy Power pricing them ahead of the pack following a dramatic slide from the Premier League to the third tier in just two seasons.

Their relegation from the Championship capped a difficult campaign, and they’ll now aim to bounce back quickly - a feat other former top-flight clubs have achieved, but not without turbulence. 

Matt Bloomfield will have a full pre-season and squad rebuilding will be crucial this summer.

Joining Luton in the promotion race are fellow relegated sides Cardiff City (13/2) and Plymouth Argyle (17/2), both of whom are also expected to be active in the transfer window and sit towards the top of the market with UK Betting Sites.

What the expert says...
Luton lead the market, but back-to-back drops are hard to recover from. This could be one of the most competitive League One title races in years, especially with ambitious sides like Stockport and Bolton in the mix.

Relegated Sides Look to Regroup as League One Gets Stronger

Luton’s back-to-back relegations put them in rare company, but they retain a strong infrastructure and some top-level players, assuming they aren’t offloaded. 

Cardiff City, meanwhile, could be dark horses under a fresh direction, while Plymouth will be determined to return to the Championship after a valiant but ultimately unsuccessful 2024/25 campaign.

Beyond the relegated trio, Stockport County (10/1) continue their impressive rise, and Bolton Wanderers look to have a better season after missing out on the play-offs last year. Huddersfield Town (11/1) complete the top six in the early betting market.
