Premier League Relegation 2025–26: Current Contenders & How It Works

Relegation from the Premier League is described as a club's worst nightmare, leading to fan disappointment, player uncertainty, and financial instability. Historically, relegation can trigger a downward spiral for clubs.

The relegation process is straightforward: the three teams finishing in 18th, 19th, and 20th place at the end of the 38-game season are relegated to the Championship. If teams are tied on points, goal difference is the primary tiebreaker, followed by goals scored, head-to-head records, disciplinary records, and finally alphabetical order.

These relegated teams are replaced by three clubs from the Championship: the top two earn automatic promotion, and the third is determined through playoffs.

Currently, Wolverhampton Wanderers are almost certain to be relegated, potentially challenging the league's lowest-ever points record. Burnley also looks destined for relegation, having not won since October. West Ham United is in the third relegation spot but shows signs of improvement. Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur, and Brighton & Hove Albion are also near the danger zone but are considered unlikely to be relegated.
