{{main|2021–22 Premier League}}

Having looked all but sewn up at the start of 2022, the title race ended up going to the final day of the season, with Liverpool and Manchester City once again battling it out – a battle that City once again came out on top of in thanks in part to a superb run of form in the closing weeks and despite a very late scare on the final day, securing manager Pep Guardiola his fourth Premier League title in six seasons. Despite falling short in their hunt for a second top-flight title since 1990, ending hopes of an unprecedented quadruple, Liverpool nevertheless managed to end the season with trophy success, winning both the League Cup and the FA Cup on penalties, whilst going unbeaten in the league at Anfield for the fourth time in five seasons, reaching their third Champions League final in five seasons (narrowly losing to Real Madrid) becoming the first English team to reach the final of the Champions League and the domestic cup competitions in the same season.

Having also been in the title race at Christmas, Chelsea only secured a top-four spot in the closing week of the campaign, whilst also finishing the season empty-handed, including a third FA Cup final loss in three years (also losing the League Cup final to Liverpool), as their season quickly unravelled amid off-field troubles caused by sanctions being placed against owner Roman Abramovich in the aftermath of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, forcing Abramovich to put the club up for sale. North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur ended up battling it out to secure fourth place; in the end, Tottenham emerged victorious in spite of a dreadful start to the season under former Wolves manager Nuno Espírito Santo, with the appointment of former Chelsea manager Antonio Conte ultimately proving to be an inspired choice – as a result, despite recovering from their worst ever start to a Premier League season to achieve a return to European football, Arsenal could only manage fifth place as a result of several big losses in the spring.

Despite making an overall good start, Manchester United endured arguably their worst season since the retirement of Alex Ferguson, enduring early exits in both domestic cups and several big losses in the league, including losing 5–0 at home to bitter rivals Liverpool (and then 4–0 at Anfield in the return game) and 4–1 at promoted Watford, the latter game ultimately resulting in the sacking of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær – and despite the appointment of Ralf Rangnick on an interim basis and the goals of returning striker Cristiano Ronaldo keeping them in the Champions League race, an equally poor end to the season saw the Red Devils finish sixth and with their lowest Premier League points total, only barely ensuring a Europa League spot and finished closer to Crystal Palace in 12th than Arsenal in 5th. Newcastle United had what proved to be an eventful season both on and off the pitch, a very poor start to the season being offset by the takeover of the club by the Public Investment Fund after years of protest and anger against controversial owner Mike Ashley – and whilst the threat of relegation still lingered over the Magpies in the New Year, the appointment of new head coach Eddie Howe and a number of shrewd January signings helped the club rocket up the table and comfortably into mid-table.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}

Despite picking up fewer wins than the previous year and seeing a number of first-team players depart in the summer, Crystal Palace had an impressive first season under the management of Arsenal legend Patrick Vieira, the Eagles hitting the ground running with a more attacking style of football and with the end results being quite successful, the club never once looking like being in a relegation battle on top of reaching the FA Cup semi-finals, finishing with a positive goal difference and taking four points off Manchester City in the league. Brentford enjoyed what proved to be a rollercoaster campaign in their first top flight season in 74 years, first making a superb start before both results and points dried up – but the January signing of midfielder Christian Eriksen, itself a remarkable comeback for the Dane following his cardiac arrest the previous summer, proved to be a big turning point for their season, the Bees picking up a number of wins (including their first away win against Chelsea in 83 years) in the closing months to ensure a second successive season in the Premier League, a fantastic achievement for the London club.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}

Having won automatic promotion the previous season, both Norwich City and Watford endured an immediate return to the Championship – the tone for the Canaries' season being set by an opening run of six straight losses, with even the surprise decision to replace promotion-winning manager Daniel Farke with Dean Smith after eleven games failing to give the Norfolk club much in terms of inspiration; likewise for Watford, despite a reasonable start that included a 4–1 home victory over Manchester United in November, the Hornets simply never got to grips with the fast pace of the top-flight, making it through three different managers across the season and breaking a number of unwanted records for their form at Vicarage Road, including consecutive home losses and number of home losses as well as failing to keep a clean sheet until May. Taking the final relegation place, after weeks of twists and turns, were Burnley, the Clarets falling into the relegation zone in the closing minutes of the season; despite a late upturn in form following the controversial sacking of long-serving manager Sean Dyche, a late collapse that saw them gain just one point from their last four games proved fatal. Leeds United finished just above them, the equally controversial decision to sack promotion-winning manager Marcelo Bielsa in favour of Jesse Marsch proving to give the Yorkshire club just enough to avoid the drop, in spite of an atrocious defensive record - whilst Everton overcame one of their worst league seasons, including securing their joint-worst points tally for a league campaign in their history and recording just three wins in 23 between the start of October and early April, to finish in 16th.{{citation needed|date=June 2022}}

{{main|2021–22 EFL Championship}}

Despite a few shaky spells of form across the season, Fulham secured promotion back to the Premier League as champions – their third in five years and their second consecutive immediate return – the London club never looking like falling out of the top six all season, becoming the first second-tier team in twenty years to score over 100 goals in a season and with star striker Aleksandar Mitrovic scoring an unprecedented 43 of those, a new record for the second tier. Taking the second automatic promotion spot were Bournemouth, who put both their play-off disappointment the previous year and an inconsistent run of form over the winter months behind them to return to the top-flight after two years and earning manager Scott Parker his second promotion in three seasons (having ironically moved to the club from Fulham). In one of the biggest turnarounds of the season, Nottingham Forest took the final spot through the play-offs – having looked like facing relegation early in the season with one point from their first seven games, the appointment of former Swansea and England youth manager Steve Cooper saw the East Midlands club rocket up the table and solidify themselves in the top six after the March international break, before squeezing through the play-offs and ending a 23-year exile from the top-flight with victory over Huddersfield Town.

At the bottom of the table, owing to a points deduction being imposed on Reading for breaching financial rules, the Royals ended up enduring yet another relegation battle, albeit one that they managed to win at the expense of Barnsley, Derby County and Peterborough United – Barnsley enduring a horrendous opening half of the season and falling back into League One after three years, with even their usual late rally proving to be not enough to stave off the drop as the Tykes never quite recovered from the loss of manager Valérien Ismaël to West Bromwich Albion before the season started. Just one year after pulling off a narrow escape from relegation and in spite of some big results across the campaign, the points deductions imposed on Derby early in the season (12 for entering administration and 9 for financial irregularities) proved to be too much for the Rams to overcome, consigning the club to the third tier for the first time since 1986 – with even attempts to find new owners during the season almost ending in disaster, with a planned takeover falling through in June, before an ultimately successful takeover on the eve of the following season. Despite a late rally, Peterborough United endured immediate relegation back to League One, never really looking like escaping the drop in spite of both a decent run of wins in the early months of the season as well as the late return of former manager Grant McCann. Ultimately, Derby suffering the two points deductions spared the Royals from the drop, though in the event of neither side receiving any points deductions, they would still have been relegated due to their inferior goal difference compared to Birmingham City.

The battle to finish in the top six ended up going to the last day of the season, owing to a big drop in form for frontrunners Rotherham United and the teams in and around the play-off places picking up points – but Wigan Athletic ultimately emerged as champions, putting the uncertainties of the previous year behind them and securing their third promotion to the Championship since 2016. Rotherham ultimately finished in second, a late good run of form propelling the Millers back into the second tier and ensuring their third immediate promotion from League One in five years, as well as the sixth consecutive season in which they moved between the Championship and League One. Taking the final promotion spot with a convincing play-off final win against Wycombe Wanderers were Sunderland, the Black Cats overcoming the surprise sacking of manager Lee Johnson at the end of January and some poor away form in the campaign to secure their first promotion in 15 years - with the equally surprising decision to appoint former Norwich City manager Alex Neil as head coach proving to be a successful one.

Just two seasons after having been promoted, Crewe Alexandra endured a truly awful campaign that saw them become the first team in the Football League to be relegated, never once leaving the relegation zone after only their second game and enduring several heavy losses. The remaining three relegation places ended up being decided on the last day, AFC Wimbledon enduring their first ever relegation and falling back into League Two after six years – a miserable run of form that saw them fail to win any games after Christmas Day ultimately proving fatal for the Dons. Despite being among the pre-season promotion favourites, Doncaster Rovers finished just above them, having also fallen into the relegation zone after only their second game and never really looking like pulling off a great escape – though a few big wins in the closing weeks of the campaign ensured that the Yorkshire club managed to starve off relegation. Taking the final place in a tightly contested battle were Gillingham, who looked like having turned a corner following the sacking of manager Steve Evans, only for the teams above them to pick up form in the closing weeks and send the Gills down for the first time in nine years; escaping the drop as a result were Fleetwood and Morecambe, who overcame the worst defensive record in the season to ensure a successful first campaign in League One.

{{main|2021–22 EFL League Two}}

After consecutive campaigns of near-misses and heartbreak, Forest Green Rovers marked both five years in the Football League and Rob Edwards' first season as head coach with their first ever promotion to League One, going up as champions on goal difference and not falling out of the top three once in the campaign, even with poor form in the New Year nearly making them lose out on top spot. Exeter City finished not far behind them, finally achieving promotion back to the third tier following years of play-off final losses, heartbreak and near-misses in manager Matt Taylor's fourth season as manager. Taking the third automatic promotion spot in extraordinary circumstances were Bristol Rovers, who managed an immediate return to the third tier by virtue of goals scored after a 7–0 victory in their final game, narrowly edging out Northampton Town despite having never been in the top three prior to the final day. Ending a five-year absence from the third tier by winning the play-offs were Port Vale - who overcame both a run of inconsistent form in the New Year and the absence of manager Darrell Clarke for nearly three months following the death of his daughter to secure fifth place and run out comfortable winners in the final.

Despite missing out on a play-off spot on the last day, Sutton United enjoyed a very successful maiden campaign in the Football League that included a narrow loss in the EFL Trophy final; having started slowly, the London club rocketed up the table, staying in and around the top seven from October onwards and with only a heavy home loss in their penultimate game going against the club. Having made a decent start on their return to the Football League, the departure of manager Dave Challinor to Stockport County saw Hartlepool United suffer a steep decline in form that saw them fall from the play-off places to mid-table; whilst the worse form of the teams below them ensured that the Pools never fell into the relegation battle, a disappointing 17th place was all the club could manage, a fair cry from their promotion chasing run early in the season.

After 72 years of Football League membership and just eleven years after having been in the Championship, Scunthorpe United's resilience finally gave out and they endured relegation to the National League, the Iron only escaping the drop zone once after their seventh game and securing just four wins across all competitions, as well as going down with statistically the worst playing record of any club relegated to the National League since Doncaster Rovers' infamously poor 1997–98 campaign. The battle to avoid the second spot proved to be tighter, with Barrow, Oldham Athletic and Stevenage fighting it out – but despite the return of manager John Sheridan for a fourth spell as Oldham manager, both Barrow and Stevenage achieved good runs of form in the closing months, enabling them to escape the drop and ending the Latics' 115-year run in the Football League (also resulting in them becoming the first former Premier League club to be relegated out of the Football League), the club not being helped by escalating fan anger towards owner Abdallah Lemsagam, including an on-field protest in the game that saw them relegated.

Having also looked all but sewn up at the end of March, the title race ended up going to the last day of the season – but nine years after having fallen into the sixth tier, Stockport County continued their climb back up the football pyramid, achieving promotion back into the Football League for the first time since 2011 – a fantastic run of form in 2022 propelling the Hatters from the playoff places to automatic promotion, winning the title comfortably. Taking the second promotion spot in one of the most extraordinary playoff campaigns in the fifth tier were Grimsby Town, the Mariners going to extra time in all of their playoff games and scoring late winners in each of them to secure an immediate return to the Football League.

At the bottom of the table, Dover Athletic endured perhaps the worst season in the history of the top five flights of English football, enduring a points deduction before the campaign started for their failure to fulfil all their fixtures the previous year, finishing with just one point as a result and conceding 101 goals (Hyde United's 2013–14 campaign was statistically worse, but they did not have any points deducted and thus finished with ten points). Weymouth finished second from bottom, the Dorset club never quite looking like overcoming the loss of their promotion-winning manager two seasons prior, but at least prolonging their stay in the fifth tier until the closing weeks of the campaign – with King's Lynn Town finishing just above them in turn, the club enduring the relegation they had only avoided the previous year owing to there being no promotions or relegations between the National League tiers.

It's been an incredible journey of which I have been very fortunate to have experienced some fantastic moments over almost 500 league games. Starting at Chelsea and going on to play in every division of the EFL, SPL, and representing my country internationally has been an unforgettable honour. Also grateful for the not so great moments that really build you as a person like the injuries, losses, and relegations. Looking back this is where you truly find yourself, learn, and grow most in every aspect as a player and a person. It's what has given me the resilience I have today and the experience to forge my future path with an abundance of knowledge and certainty. Huge thanks to all the amazing players I played with, Managers/Coaches I played under, and all the fans of the various clubs I played for. I will be forever humbled to have worn the shirts of so many great clubs and worked under so many top managers/Coaches. Eagerly looking forward to the future and utilising all the experiences and transferable skills I have accrued throughout my playing career to advance the next chapter of my life. Thanks again to anyone and everyone that has supported me over the years and in the future. All the best 😊" }}

• 31 August 2021: The first month of the season ends with Tottenham Hotspur top of the Premier League as the only team with a 100% start to the season. Closely behind are five teams on seven points: West Ham United, Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton, occupying second to sixth, followed by defending champions Manchester City in seventh. Wolverhampton Wanderers, Norwich City and Arsenal have lost each of their opening three games and occupy the relegation places. In the Championship, two of the recently relegated clubs, Fulham and West Bromwich Albion, occupy the top two, with Queens Park Rangers, Huddersfield Town, Stoke City and Bournemouth in the playoff places. The third newly relegated club, Sheffield United, is in the relegation zone, sandwiched by Nottingham Forest and newly promoted Blackpool.
• 30 September 2021: September ends with Liverpool top of the Premier League as the only team unbeaten in their first six games. Five teams, Manchester City, Chelsea, Manchester United, Everton and Brighton, are all one point behind and occupy second to sixth, with West Ham United a further two points behind in seventh. Norwich, still without a point so far, sits at the bottom of the table, joined in the relegation zone by Burnley and Leeds United, with Newcastle United just outside the bottom three on goal difference. West Brom lead the Championship ahead of Bournemouth on goal difference, with Fulham, Coventry City, Stoke City and Blackburn Rovers occupying the playoff places. Huddersfield Town are just outside the playoff places on goal difference. After a 12-point deduction, Derby County sit bottom of the Championship, with Peterborough United and Hull City just above them in the bottom three.

• 31 October 2021: At the quarter-way mark of the Premier League campaign, Chelsea sit top of the table, three points clear of Liverpool, who are one of two unbeaten teams in the top four divisions so far. Manchester City and West Ham are joint third, and Manchester United, Arsenal, and Brighton complete the top seven. At the other end of the table are the two teams in the Football League yet to experience victory, Norwich (20th) and Newcastle, newly flush with cash from their takeover by Saudi Arabia's PIF fund but yet to make any major moves beyond the mutual termination of head coach Steve Bruce's contract. Burnley are 18th, three points behind Aston Villa, Leeds, and Watford. Bournemouth - the second of the aforementioned unbeaten teams - lead the Championship with a five-point gap between them and Fulham. Fulham in turn have a four-point gap between them and third-placed West Brom. Coventy, Huddersfield and Blackpool lead a congested play-off chase. Derby County remain bottom of the Championship, with Barnsley now joining them and Hull in the bottom three.
• 30 November 2021: November closes with Chelsea still leading the Premier League, a point ahead of Manchester City and two points ahead of Liverpool. West Ham hold the final Champions League spot, ahead of Arsenal on goal difference. Wolves and Spurs (who have a game in hand) round out the top seven. Norwich have managed to end their winless streak and are now only three points adrift of 17th-placed Watford, though there is no such luck for Newcastle, now bottom of the Premier League; Burnley also remain in the relegation zone. Fulham have leapfrogged Bournemouth at the Championship summit, but the Cherries have extended their distance from third place - currently held by QPR - to seven points. West Brom, Blackburn, and Coventry finish November in the top six. A further 12-point deduction sees Derby finish November on 1 point, with a daunting 19-point gap between them and 21st-placed Reading, struck themselves with a deduction of six points. Barnsley remain stuck in the bottom three, while Peterborough take Hull's place in the bottom three.
• 31 December 2021: Manchester City enter 2022 with an eight-point lead at the top of the Premier League table over second-placed Chelsea. Liverpool are third with a game in hand. Arsenal hold the coveted fourth spot, four points ahead of West Ham, though Manchester United and Spurs have at least one game in hand over Arsenal. Norwich finish the year back on the bottom of the Premier League, a point behind Newcastle and Burnley, though Burnley have games in hand over fellow strugglers Leeds and Watford. In the Championship, Bournemouth have returned to the top of the table, four points clear of joint-second Fulham and Blackburn. West Brom, Middlesbrough and Huddersfield finish December in the top six, but with only 12 points between 6th and 18th, plus multiple teams holding games in hand over the top six due to postponements, competition remains fierce. A return of nine points from a possible 12 in December has seen bottom club Derby County narrow the gap between them and 21st (still held by Reading) to 11 points, giving the East Midlands battlers an outside chance of avoiding the drop. Barnsley (23rd) and Peterborough also remain in the relegation zone.

• 31 January 2022: Manchester City extend their Premier League lead to nine points at the end of January, although second-placed Liverpool still have a game in hand. Chelsea have dropped to third, and Manchester United have seized fourth place ahead of West Ham, Arsenal, and Spurs, though the latter two have at least one game in hand over United. Norwich have climbed out of the relegation zone at the expense of Watford, now sandwiched between Newcastle (18th) and Burnley, though with their rivals all having at least one game in hand (including four for Burnley alone) the relegation battle is only just beginning to intensify. In the Championship, Fulham have seized the lead following a stunning month that has seen them score 23 goals in only five matches and now lead second-placed Blackburn by five points, although Bournemouth and QPR could leapfrog the Lancastrians by winning their respective games in hand. West Brom and Middlesbrough remain in the top six, ahead of Huddersfield on goal difference. The Championship bottom four remains unchanged except for Derby and Barnsley swapping positions, with only seven points now separating Derby and Reading.
• 28 February 2022: February ends with Manchester City's lead cut to six points, with second-placed Liverpool still having a game in hand. Chelsea, despite only playing once in February due to their cup obligations, remain third with a three-point gap and two games in hand over Manchester United. West Ham and Arsenal are two points behind Manchester United, the latter with three games in hand over their top four rivals, with Spurs rounding out the top seven again. Norwich have returned to the bottom of the table, five points adrift of 17th-placed Everton having played two games more. Watford and Burnley remain in the relegation zone, though Newcastle, Brentford, and Leeds are also still in the mix. Fulham lead second-placed Bournemouth by nine points in the Championship, though the south coast side have two games in hand over the free-scoring Londoners. Huddersfield have usurped Blackburn to take third, QPR climb to fifth, and Luton finish February in sixth, with Sheffield United, Middlesbrough, Nottingham Forest, Coventry, and Millwall still in play-off contention. At the other end of the table, time is starting to run out for Derby, with only 12 games left to make up an eight-point deficit between them and 21st-placed Reading. As it stands Barnsley (in 22nd) look more likely to escape the bottom three, standing six points behind Reading with a game in hand. Peterborough are now bottom.
• 31 March 2022: With less than a quarter of the Premier League left to play, Manchester City's lead over Liverpool in the title race has been reduced to one point, with the Merseysiders still to play at the Etihad Stadium. Chelsea remain third, having won all three games in a turbulent month that saw owner Roman Abramovich's assets - including Chelsea - frozen, and two sponsors terminate their sponsorship agreements with the club. Arsenal have moved to fourth, three points ahead of arch-rivals Spurs with a game in hand. Manchester United and West Ham complete the top seven. The relegation zone remains unchanged. In the Championship, Fulham find themselves needing only 10 points from their final nine games to confirm an immediate return to the Premier League. Bournemouth have narrowed the gap to Fulham to eight points, though they only have one game in hand now. A good month sees Luton - relegated from the old First Division the year before its rebranding as the Premier League - rise to third, and seeking to be the first club to be promoted all the way from non-league to the top flight of English football. Huddersfield are fourth on goal difference, Sheffield United have risen to fifth, while Blackburn's promotion push continues to falter as they end March in sixth. It remains anyone's guess as to who will claim the playoff places, with only 12 points separating Luton and Preston North End (14th). Derby County drop to the bottom of the table, still eight points behind Reading (21st). Barnsley and Peterborough remain in the bottom three.
• 30 April 2022: Manchester City enter the final stretch of the Premier League season still a point ahead of Liverpool. Chelsea have all but secured third, being six points clear of fourth-placed Arsenal with five games left to play. Arsenal are two points clear of fifth-placed Spurs with the North London derby still to be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Manchester United's top four hopes are all but over with three games left for them to make up four points to Arsenal; seven-placed West Ham, for their part, still have a chance at Champions League qualification via the Europa League. A resurgence under caretaker Mike Jackson has seen Burnley climb to 16th, ahead of Leeds on goal difference and with five points between them and Everton in 18th. Everton's last hope is their extra two games in hand over Burnley; there is no such luck for Norwich, who have confirmed a sixth Premier League relegation, and Watford, who will be relegated if they fail to win another match or if Burnley and Leeds each earn one more point. Another so-called "yo-yo club", Fulham, have secured another promotion from the Championship and need one more point to confirm the league title. Bournemouth remain second with two games left, though one of those is against third-placed Nottingham Forest, who are just three points behind the south coast side. Fourth-placed Huddersfield have also confirmed their playoff spot. Luton Town and Sheffield United hold pole position for the other two playoff spots as the final matchday approaches, though Middlesbrough and Millwall can still claim spots if results go their way. Derby, Peterborough, and Barnsley have all confirmed relegation.
