Ten years later, they were elected into the Second Division of the Football League,^[1] winning promotion to the First Division in their first season.^[2] They achieved their highest ever position during the 1923–24 season, finishing in second place of the First Division but lost the league title on goal average to Huddersfield Town.^[3] They were relegated from the First Division in 1929. Since then, they have spent a further nine seasons in the top tier; the most recent return was a one-year spell in the 2018–19 season.^[2]

Their first fixture in the Football League came on 28 August 1920 against Stockport County.^[5] They met their 116th and most recent different opponent, Burton Albion, for the first time on the opening day of the 2016–17 Football League season.^[6] The team that Cardiff have met the most in league competition is Preston North End; the 39 victories from 102 meetings is more than Cardiff have recorded against any other club.
