Football League First Division

A total of 24 teams competed in the Football League First Division in the 1999–2000 season. Each team played every other team twice: once at their stadium, and once at the opposition's. Three points were awarded to teams for each win, one point per draw, and none for defeats.

The provisional fixture list was released on 24 June 1999, but was subject to change in the event of matches being selected for television coverage or police concerns.[1]
