The 1965–66 season was the 67th completed season of the Football League.

This season is notable for Liverpool winning the title – their seventh overall – with only 14 squad players. The Second, Third and Fourth Divisions were won by Manchester City, Hull City and Doncaster Rovers respectively.

Final league tables

The tables and results below are reproduced here in the exact form that they can be found at [https://www.rsssf.org/engpaul/FLA/1965-66.html The Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation] website{{cite web |url=https://www.rsssf.org/engpaul/FLA/1965-66.html |title=England 1965-66 |publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation |access-date=24 February 2010}} and in Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888–89 to 1978–79,Ian Laschke: Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888–89 to 1978–79. Macdonald and Jane’s, London & Sydney, 1980. with home and away statistics separated.

Beginning with the 1894–95 season, clubs finishing level on points were separated according to goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), or more properly put, goal ratio. In case one or more teams had the same goal difference, this system favoured those teams who had scored fewer goals. The goal average system was eventually scrapped beginning with the 1976–77 season.

Since the Fourth Division was established in the 1958–59 season, the bottom four teams of that division have been required to apply for re-election.
