List of Premier League clubs

The following is a list of clubs who have played in the Premier League since its formation in 1992.

Over that span, 51 teams have played in the Premier League, two of which (Cardiff City and Swansea City) are located in Wales; they play in the English football league system for practical and historical reasons.

Preston North End are the only former top-flight First Division champions who have never played in the Premier League;{{cite news |date=January 2012 |title=Football Trivia Question of the Day January 2012 Historic |url=http://historic.myfootballfacts.com/Question_of_the_Day_January_2012.html |archive-url= |archive-date= |access-date=26 January 2024 |work=My Football Facts & Stats}} they are among a group of fourteen clubs, twelve of which are active, that have played in the old First Division but not in the Premier League. By contrast, Barnsley, Bournemouth, Hull City, Reading, Swindon Town and Wigan Athletic never played in the old First Division before being promoted to the Premier League in 1997, 2015, 2008, 2006, 1993 and 2005, respectively.

Twelve of the 22 founder members of the Premier League will compete in the 2024–25 season. Six (Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur) have contested every season of the Premier League. The remaining six (Aston Villa, Crystal Palace, Ipswich Town, Manchester City, Nottingham Forest and Southampton), were also founder members, though each team has been relegated at least once in the past. Two clubs, Brighton & Hove Albion and Brentford, are not founding members of the Premier League, but have not been relegated since making their debuts in the Premier League after promotion in 2017 and 2021, respectively.

Table

All statistics here refer to time in the Premier League only, with the exception of 'Most Recent Finish' (which refers to all levels of play) and 'Last Promotion' (which refers to the club's last promotion from the second tier of English football). For the 'Top Scorer' column, those in bold still play in the Premier League for the club shown. Premier League teams playing in the current season and next season confirmed teams are indicated in bold, while founding members of the Premier League are shown in italics. A 'spell' refers to a number of consecutive seasons within the league, uninterrupted by relegation. If the longest spell is the current spell, this is shown in bold, and if the highest finish is that of the most recent season, then this is also shown in bold.

The 2006–07 season marked the first occasion former Premier League members were in all three divisions of the Football League following the relegation of Swindon Town to League Two. Since then, other former Premier League clubs relegated to League Two have included Bradford City, Portsmouth, Blackpool, Coventry City, Oldham Athletic and Bolton Wanderers. Oldham became the first former Premier League club to be relegated to the National League during the 2022–23 season.{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/23/oldham-drop-out-of-football-league-after-115-years-amid-fierce-protests |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220423175655/https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/23/oldham-drop-out-of-football-league-after-115-years-amid-fierce-protests |archive-date=2022-04-23 |url-status=live |title=Oldham drop out of Football League after 115 years amid fierce protests |work=The Guardian |date=2022-04-23 |accessdate=2022-04-23 }}

Norwich City have had the most separate spells in the Premier League, with six, which have lasted from one to three seasons in length.

Three clubs – Luton Town, Notts County and West Ham United – were in the top flight in 1991–92, and so took part in the original negotiations in 1991 that led to the formation of the Premier League, resigning their membership of The Football League along with the other 19 clubs in the top flight. However, the clubs were relegated that season and were thereby not founding Premier League members. West Ham won promotion to the Premier League the following season. Notts County has not returned to the top flight since, even dropping to the National League in 2019. Luton Town also dropped to the National League in 2009, but managed to return to the Football League in 2014 and won promotion to the Premier League in 2023 after play-offs.
