Notes:
- ^ The Premier League gained an additional Champions League place as a result of England gaining one of the two European Performance Spots (EPS) awarded to the two associations with the highest UEFA coefficient points in 2024–25. In addition to the EPS, the winners of the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League (Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur), will also qualify for the Champions League league phase as the Europa League titleholders in addition to the top five, since they cannot qualify via league position.
- ^ The winners of the 2024–25 FA Cup (Crystal Palace or Manchester City) and the 6th-placed team both qualify for the Europa League league phase. If the FA Cup winners finish in the top six, the 7th-placed team will qualify.
- ^ The winners of the 2024–25 EFL Cup, Newcastle United, qualify for the Conference League play-off round. If they qualify for the Champions League or Europa League via league position, the Conference League berth will be passed to the 7th-placed team. If the FA Cup winners finish in the top seven, the 8th-placed team will qualify.
Championship
[edit]In what was principally a three horse-race for the title, Leeds United and Burnley won promotion with two games to spare, both sides reaching the 100-point mark for the first time in the history of the second tier - Leeds coming on top to secure the title on goal difference - another first for the Championship. The Whites enjoyed a fantastic season in both offense and defense as they won the title after occupying top position for much of the season after November; a shaky run of form in March threatened to derail the club's run, but Daniel Farke's side recovered impressively to secure the German's third Championship title following the two with Norwich. Burnley finished 2nd, the Clarets enjoying what turned out to be the best defensive campaign of all times across the Football League, and by far as well, as they conceded just 16 goals, never more than one in a game, while also finishing the season on a 33-match unbeaten run, only losing twice, the final loss coming on 21 December; perhaps the only minor disappointment was a run of too many draws that prevented Scott Parker's side - his 3rd promotion from the Championship, all with different clubs - from possibly breaking even more records. The play-offs were made up by Sheffield United, Sunderland, Coventry City and Bristol City - with Sheffield United and Sunderland reaching the play-off final.
Sheffield United had a fantastic season that saw them challenge for the title for nearly the entire campaign, only a dreadful run of form in April consigning them to the play-offs. Sunderland enjoyed a hugely improved campaign under new manager Régis Le Bris, leading the table for large parts of the first half of the season, only several bouts of indifferent form principally in the New Year - including a 5-match losing streak as the season ended - dropping the Black Cats out of the automatic promotion race. Coventry City spent the first half of the season looking like battling relegation; the controversial sacking of influential, long-standing manager Mark Robins in favor of Frank Lampard paid off handsomely, the Sky Blues embarking on a storming run of form in the winter to secure a 2nd top 6 placing in 3 years, while Bristol City's first full season under Liam Manning saw the Robins reach the top 6 for the first time in 16 years by virtue of several good runs of form in 2025, despite a shaky end to their campaign that saw them almost miss out.
West Bromwich Albion spent most of the season looking to once again make the play-offs, their push continuing even after the sudden departure of successful manager Carlos Corberán to Valencia; his replacement in former manager Tony Mowbray initially seemed like a good call as the club remained in the race for the play-offs, until the Baggies' season fell completely apart in the spring as a terrible run of form dumped the club out of the race and led to his sacking. Sheffield Wednesday enjoyed a much improved campaign in Danny Röhl's first full season at the helm, his side overcoming a bad start to solidify themselves in the top half of the table and even mounting a play-off push during the winter, the Owls ultimately being let down by poor runs of form in the second half of the season as well as a failure to win home games between early January and late April. Norwich City's first season under new manager Johannes Hoff Thorup was a disaster; despite the club being the second highest goalscorers of the division, only behind champions Leeds, they never looked like serious play-off contenders, while a terrible away record and a horrible run in the closing stages of the season cost the Dane's job. In their first season back in the Championship after 12 years, Portsmouth initially struggled as they went winless in their first 9 games and had won just one in their first 14; good runs of form after that point, coupled with strong home form, secured the Pompey's safety with two games to spare; coupled with Southampton's relegation from the Premier League, next season will be the first since the 2011–12 one in which the South Coast derby will take place. Oxford United's first season in the second tier in a quarter of a century saw the U's remain relatively safe, except for a period in December in which the club fell into the relegation mire; the hiring of Gary Rowett provided the club with enough spark to remain relatively far from relegation troubles throughout the rest of the season and ultimately secure their safety, an impressive achievement for the side.
Another topsy-turvy relegation battle ensued, with several sides in the mix until the end and only one team having their relegation confirmed before the final matchday. Cardiff City were the first side to suffer their first shock relegation since the club had changed home grounds, doing so in the penultimate matchday; the Bluebirds remained in the relegation mire all season long, a terrible start being replaced by a good run of form after the hiring of Turkish manager Omer Riza, but their form once again dipped after that and their fate was sealed with a terrible end to the season, securing their first relegation to the third tier since 2003. Plymouth Argyle were the second side to go down; the Pilgrims never recovering from the disastrous pre-season decision to appoint England legend Wayne Rooney as they struggled; even a late improvement in form after the hiring of new manager Miron Muslić came too little too late as the club returned to League One after 2 years, in a campaign that included a shock 1–0 victory over Liverpool in the FA Cup. The final relegation place went to Luton Town; the Hatters were from the start in the relegation mire, and despite seemingly recovering, a terrible run of form after Christmas plunged them into the bottom 3; a late good run of form under new manager Matt Bloomfield not proving enough as the club became the first since Sunderland in 2018 to suffer two successive relegations from the top flight to the third tier, returning to League One after 6 years. Derby County's first season back in the second tier after two years was disastrous; a relatively decent start was followed by a horrible run of just 3 wins between mid-October and early March; the hiring of John Eustace provided the Rams with enough spark to stage a late fightback and ultimately secure their stay in the Championship for another season, Hull City also spent the entire season looking to avoid relegation, only doing so by virtue of a last matchday draw and other results going their way, while Preston overcame a terrible start to solidify themselves into the middle of the table; an equally poor end, however, with just 2 wins gained after February, saw the Lilywhites dragged into the relegation mire as they were kept safe by just a final matchday draw as well as a superior goal difference to Luton, preserving them as the Championship's longest standing side.

League One
[edit]Similar to their last season in the third tier in 1995 and after years of overall disappointing league campaigns on and off the field, Birmingham City secured an emphatic immediate return to the Championship, this time around smashing the record for the most points secured across the entire Football League – and their first promotion since 2009; the Blues' success came as a result of never once relinquishing top spot after going top in late September and an unbeaten season at home, perhaps the only disappointment being a failure to win their first trophy since 2011, narrowly losing out in the Football League Trophy and couldn't quite win the double like Milton Keynes Dons did in the 2007-08 season. The battle for the second automatic promotion place went to the penultimate matchday, with Wrexham and Wycombe Wanderers pushing each other close; in the end, Wrexham won out, even holding off a late run from fellow promoted side Stockport County and secured an historic third consecutive promotion - a first for English football - and secured a return to the second tier for the first time in 43 years. Qualifying for the play-offs were Stockport County, Wycombe Wanderers, Charlton Athletic and Leyton Orient, who finished the season on a 6-match winning streak to edge out Reading and reach the play-offs for the first time since 2014.
Bolton Wanderers never managed to repeat last season's performance that saw them almost win promotion, several poor runs of form keeping the Trotters from mounting a significant play-off push, consigning them to their 5th successive season in League One. Rotherham United suffered from a turbulent season that saw them slightly closer to a second successive relegation than to anything near the top 6, only managing a mid-table finish in the process. Peterborough United endured their worst season in several years, a terrible run of form in mid-season dragging the Posh into the relegation mire; only a good run of form in February and March proved enough to secure the club's safety, in a season where they won the EFL Trophy for the second time in a row. Mansfield Town's first season in the third tier in 21 years was overall successful; despite a bright start wearing off, Nigel Clough's side remained relatively far from the relegation zone throughout the entire season, even in spite of several terrible runs of form throughout the season.
Shrewsbury Town were the first side to go down, in a terrible season in which the Shrews only once escaped the drop zone and changed managers three times, returning to the Football League's basement tier after 10 years. Cambridge United were the next side to face relegation, enduring a similarily horrible season as they only spent one matchday out of the bottom 4 - as they started the season with just 1 point in their first 10 games - and returned to League Two after 4 seasons away, despite the managerial presence of experienced managers Garry Monk and Neil Harris - the latter one's second spell in charge of the club. Bristol Rovers endured a torrid campaign, remaining in the relegation mire for the entire season; the appointment of Iñigo Calderón seemed to turn their fortunes around, but a total collapse at the end of the season, with just 1 draw picked up from their final 10 games, consigned the Pirates to League Two after 3 years away. Crawley Town never managed to adjust to life back in League One after 10 years and went straight back down, despite a late good run of form following the return of promotion winning manager Scott Lindsey for a second spell. Having started the season winless in their first 14 matches and with just 2 wins in their first 27, Burton Albion hauled themselves away from the drop thanks in part to several good runs of form from February onwards - the Brewers ultimately securing safety in their penultimate game.

League Two
[edit]Having looked all-but decided going into the New Year, the race for the League Two title ended up going to the penultimate week of the season – a race that saw Doncaster Rovers make amends for their play-off miss the previous season and ensure a return to League One after three years, ultimately taking advantage of the teams around them dropping points. Similarly, the race to decide the automatic promotion places was only decided on the final two weekends, with Port Vale finishing second and securing an immediate return to the third tier, overcoming a poor run of form in the build-up to Christmas in the process. Finishing third, by virtue of a last-minute goal, were Bradford City - who secured their first promotion in 12 years, the Bantams slowly surging up the table and firmly consolidating themselves in the play-off positions thanks to a strong 10-match winning run at Valley Parade. Walsall actually led the table for most of the season, even boasting a 12-point lead at the turn of the year, only to suffer a spectacular collapse in form in 2025 as they won just 3 games in the New Year; in the end, even a last-matchday victory was not enough for the Saddlers as they joined the play-offs alongside AFC Wimbledon, Notts County and Chesterfield - in their first season back in the Football League.
Bromley's first ever season in the Football League saw them fall short of the play-offs, the London club overcoming a sluggish start to move away from the drop zone and comfortably into mid-table - with striker Michael Cheek finishing as the league's top scorer. Beaten play-off finalists Crewe Alexandra had looked like a dead cert for the play-offs, but a drop off in form in the closing months saw them fall out of the top seven and then eventually the top half of the table, to mark a disappointing campaign.
Just two seasons after having played in the third tier, Morecambe's 18 year stay in the Football League came to a shuddering end as they finished bottom – despite the return of promotion-winning manager Derek Adams for a third spell in charge and a win at home and away to Swindon Town, a miserable start to the season saw the Shrimpers fall into the drop zone in only the third game-week, spending just one week outside of it the whole campaign. A late season improvement, timed with the appointment of veteran manager Mark Hughes and a downturn in form for Accrington Stanley, saw Carlisle United take the battle to avoid relegation to the penultimate weekend, but a similar upturn in form from Tranmere Rovers condemned the Cumbrian side to a second successive relegation and saw them drop into non-league football, exactly 20 years after having played in the fifth tier.

[edit]After consecutive near-misses in the play-offs in previous seasons and in spite of a late scare in April, a strong second half of the season saw Barnet achieve their fourth promotion to the Football League – returning to the fourth tier after seven years away, and finally securing head coach Dean Brennan his first promotion out of the non-league system (his previous promotions having all been from the fifth tier and below). Qualifying for the play-offs were York City, Forest Green Rovers, Rochdale, Oldham Athletic, Halifax Town and Southend United.
At the bottom of the table, Ebbsfleet United were the first team in all of the top five tiers to endure relegation, falling back into the sixth tier after only three years; the Kent side endured one of the worst runs of form in the season, winning just once between the start of the campaign and mid-March, only picking up their second win a week before relegation was confirmed, statistically finishing with one of the worst final points totals in the history of the fifth tier. AFC Fylde finished just above them, ultimately being undone by their wretched away form that saw them pick up just 11 points – and making it through 4 different managers across the campaign. Despite some spirited runs of form across the season, Maidenhead United's luck finally gave out as they endured their first relegation since 2007, with manager Alan Devonshire being unable to mark a decade in charge of the Magpies with another escape from the drop. The final place was filled on the final day of the season, with Dagenham and Redbridge's luck finally giving out as they fell into the sixth tier for the first time since the turn of the century - whilst the Daggers did enjoy a strong late run of form to finish their penultimate game one point ahead of Wealdstone, a failure to win at Solihull Moors saw the Royals narrowly move ahead of them.

Diary of the season
[edit]- 17 August 2024: The first Premier League match without Jürgen Klopp in the dugout since October 2015 took place, as new Liverpool boss Arne Slot oversaw his side defeat newboys Ipswich Town 2–0 at Portman Road. Ironically, Ipswich's last Premier League fixture came against the Reds, whom relegated them on the final day of the 2001–02 season.
- 31 August 2024: The first month of Premier League action ends with Manchester City leading the table, being the only side so far to win all 3 of their fixtures. Brighton & Hove Albion and Arsenal follow 2 points behind - with Brighton 2nd by virtue of goals scored - with Liverpool on 6 points, albeit having played 2 games. Brentford, Aston Villa and Bournemouth round out the top 7. Everton, Southampton and Crystal Palace make up the bottom 3, having not won a single point so far, with Wolves, Ipswich and Leicester being outside the relegation zone by 1 point. In the Championship, Sunderland lead the table, having made a perfect start of 4 wins out of 4. West Bromwich Albion and Watford follow closely in 2nd and 3rd respectively, with Leeds, Blackburn Rovers and Burnley rounding out the top 6. Cardiff City are bottom of the table with 1 point so far, separated on goal difference by 23rd-placed Luton, who are finding life difficult back in the Championship. Rounding out the bottom 3 are Plymouth Argyle, one point ahead of the afformentioned sides.
- 14 September 2024: Nottingham Forest claim a shock 1–0 victory over Liverpool in Anfield, the Reds' first win at this ground since 1969.
- 30 September 2024: September concludes with Liverpool now in the lead, 1 point ahead of Manchester City and Arsenal - both tied for 2nd place, separated by goal difference. Chelsea follow in 4th place, another point behind, separated from Aston Villa on goal difference as well, while Fulham and Newcastle round out the top 7. Wolverhampton Wanderers, Southampton and Crystal Palace - all winless - occupy the bottom 3, with Leicester City and Ipswich Town - outside the drop zone on goals scored and by 1 point, respectively - also remain without a win so far, the first time in Premier League history that 5 sides head into October having not won once until now. In the Championship, West Bromwich occupy top place, with Sunderland and Blackburn Rovers - tied on points and goals - following closely. Burnley, Leeds and Sheffield United round out the top 6, with the other recently relegated side, Luton Town, having somewhat recovered from their terrible start but still standing at a measly 19th place, 6 points off the Blades. Cardiff City have lost all of their games this month and remain rock bottom with just 1 point after 7 matches, joined in the relegation zone by League One champions Portsmouth - also winless so far - and Preston North End, while Coventry stand outside the bottom 3 by virtue of goal difference.
- 10 October 2024: England suffer a shock 2–1 home defeat to Greece, their first defeat ever from this opposition, in an overall terrible performance that also saw the away side have 3 goals ruled out for offside, in an emotional night following the sudden death of footballer George Baldock.
- 15 October 2024: The Football Association announce that the former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel will become the new manager of the England national team effective from 1 January 2025. The 51-year old German becomes England's third non-English manager on a contract that will last initially for eighteen months.
- 31 October 2024: October draws the curtain with Manchester City - which are the only side in England's top 4 divisions to be still undefeated - having now claimed top spot and leading over Liverpool by 1 point. Arsenal and Aston Villa, both 4 points off the Reds, round out the top 4, while Chelsea, Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest - having made their best start to a Premier League season in 29 years - round out the top 7. Southampton are rock bottom with just 1 point so far, joined in the bottom 3 by Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town - all afformentioned sides still being without a win after 9 matchdays so far, Crystal Palace having just picked up their 1st win of the campaign to move out of the relegation zone; the same goes for Leicester City who have picked up their first 2 wins this month to move 5 points off the bottom 3. In the Championship, Sunderland have regained top spot and now have built a 5-point lead over 2nd place following an electric run of form in October. Burnley and Leeds are tied for 2nd place, the Clarets ahead by goal difference, while Sheffield United - who would be 2nd if not for a 2-point deduction - West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers round out the top 6, Watford outside by virtue of goal difference. Portsmouth have claimed their 1st victory of the campaign but now are bottom, with Queens Park Rangers 1 point ahead following a terrible run of form, while Luton Town are also back in the drop zone following an almost equally poor run of form, with 4 sides tied at just 1 point ahead of the relegation zone - including Cardiff City who have embarked on an impressive run of form during October to move up to 20th place.
- 2 November 2024: Manchester City suffer a 2–1 defeat away to Bournemouth, halting their undefeated start to the season.
- 9 November 2024: A 2–1 away defeat at Brighton & Hove Albion means that, for the first time since 2006, Manchester City have lost 4 games in a row in all competitions - their worst run of form since Pep Guardiola took over. This allows Liverpool, who defeated Aston Villa 2–0, to move five points clear at the summit of the table.
- 10 November 2024: After 10 matches without a win, Ipswich Town claim their first Premier League victory for the season - and first since April 2002 - by defeating Tottenham 2–1 away.
- 23 November 2024: Manchester City's crisis deepens as the club slumps to a 4–0 home defeat to Tottenham, in what is the heaviest home defeat of the Pep Guardiola era - meaning the 53-year-old has lost 5 games in succession for the first time in his career.
- 24 November 2024: A hard fought 3–2 win for Liverpool at Southampton allows the Reds to open an 8-point gap over 2nd placed Manchester City, just before the Citizens' visit to Anfield on 1 December.
- 30 November 2024: With a few more Premier League games to be played this round, November ends with Liverpool leading the Premier League table by 6 points over 2nd-placed Arsenal. An impressive Brighton & Hove Albion follow in 3rd, while a nightmare month for Manchester City finds the Citizens in 4th place - depending on the result of their match at Anfield as well as Chelsea's they could end up anywhere from 2nd to 5th. Chelsea follow in 5th, while the top 7 is rounded out by Nottingham Forest and Brentford - both sides impressing so far after battling for their survival last season, the Reds even reaching as high as 3rd earlier in the month, while the Bees possess so far the best home record of any Premier League side, having won 19 of their 20 points at their home stadium. Southampton have picked up their 1st victory of the season but remain bottom with just 5 points so far, Ipswich Town and Wolverhampton Wanderers - both having won for the first time this month as well - having exchanged places in the relegation zone compared to last month, with Crystal Palace standing outside the bottom 3 on goal difference, while Leicester City and Everton are 1 and 2 points off the relegation zone, respectively. In the Championship, Sheffield United claim the lead, holding a 2-point lead - 4-point if not for their points deduction - over 2nd placed Burnley. Leeds United and Sunderland follow closely, in an so far hot battle for the title, while resurgent Middlesbrough and Watford round out the top 6. Portsmouth remain bottom of the table, joined in the drop zone by Queens Park Rangers and Hull City - but the relegation battle is greatly wide open with just 6 points separating bottom Portsmouth from 16th-placed Coventry City.
- 1 December 2024: Liverpool put on an absolutely dominant display to defeat Manchester City 2–0, opening a huge 9-point lead over 2nd place, and standing now 11 points ahead of the Citizens who are in a terrible run of just 1 draw and 6 defeats from their last 7 games across all competitions, having collapsed all the way to 5th place after entering November in 1st and without a Premier League defeat - in stark contrast to the Reds who have made a fantastic start to life under new manager Arne Slot so far, having won 18 of their 20 games in all competitions. Chelsea beat Aston Villa 3–0 and stand now in 2nd place, tied on points, goal difference and goals scored with Arsenal, dropping Brighton into 4th place in the process. A 1-1 home draw with Fulham allows Tottenham to overtake Brentford into 7th by virtue of goal difference, whereas a 4–0 rout of Everton means that Manchester United - in Ruben Amorim's first Premier League home game - re-enter the upper half of the Premier League table for the first time since mid-September.
- 7 December 2024: Nottingham Forest continue their spectacular start to the season by defeating Manchester United 3–2 at Old Trafford, a victory that propells the Reds up to 5th; it is their first win at this stadium since 1994, as well as the first time in history they win away at Anfield and Old Trafford in the same season.
- 26 December 2024: This year's Boxing Day sees Manchester City draw 1-1 at home to Everton, extending the Citizens' miserable run to just 1 win in 13 games across all competitions since the end of October - standing in 1st back then, now Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side are 7th. Among others, Fulham claim a shock 2–1 away win at Chelsea with a late turnaround, making it the Cottagers' first victory in Stamford Bridge since 1979, while a 1–0 win over Tottenham means that Nottingham now stand in 3rd place, the Reds on their best run since the glorious 1994-95 campaign. Later on, Liverpool defeat Leicester 3–1 at Anfield despite falling 1–0 behind, to extend their lead at the top to 7 points over 2nd placed Chelsea, and open a seemingly unassailable 14 point lead over defending champions Manchester City, while still having a game in hand over all of the afformentioned sides.
- 27 December 2024: Arsenal beat Ipswich 1–0 and leapfrog Chelsea into 2nd, one point ahead of the Blues, yet 6 points behind Liverpool.
- 31 December 2024: 2024 winds down with Liverpool boasting a huge 8-point lead over 2nd place - with a game in hand - the club looking well on track to win a 2nd title in 5 years, in Arne Slot's maiden season at the helm. Nottingham Forest astonishingly claim 2nd place, the Reds enjoying what is turning out to be their best season in 30 years as they have vastly defied expectations, a 5-winning streak propelling them into Liverpool's nearest challengers as they have already exceeded their points total from last season; they will finish the year in 2nd place as 3rd-placed Arsenal have to play on New Year's Day, whereas successive defeats have seen Chelsea slip into 4th after spending most of December in 2nd, at one point even reducing the distance from the top to 2 points. Newcastle United claim 5th place, Manchester City being 1 point behind in 6th, having picked up just their 2nd win since the end of October, while Bournemouth, another side impressing so far, round out the top 7. Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United keep on disappointing this season as they claim 11th and 14th place respectively - the Red Devils enduring their worst season in nearly 40 years as they stand just 7 points clear of the bottom 3. Southampton remain bottom with just 6 points so far and their relegation seems to be turning into a matter of when, than if, with the other newly promoted sides, Leicester and Ipswich, joining them in the relegation zone; Wolves, Everton and Crystal Palace all remain in the relegation mix so far. In the Championship, Leeds lead the table by 2 points over Yorkshire rivals Sheffield United, with Burnley 1 point behind the Blades, and Sunderland another 4 points off the Clarets. The march for the play-offs remains very heated as just 5 points separate 5th-placed Blackburn Rovers from 11th-placed Sheffield Wednesday, Middlesbrough rounding out the top 6. Plymouth Argyle have plummeted into the bottom of the table, joined in the relegation zone by Portsmouth and Cardiff City, although a mere 9 points separate bottom Plymouth from 16th-placed Derby County.
- 1 January 2025: The first Premier League game of 2025 sees Arsenal beat Brentford 3–1 away, leapfrogging Nottingham Forest and moving to within 6 points of leaders Liverpool.
- 6 January 2025: A 3–0 away victory to Wolves makes it 6 wins in succession for Nottingham Forest, the first time in 58 years the Reds achieve this milestone in the top flight.
- 14 January 2025: Nottingham Forest and Liverpool play out an entertaining 1–1 draw at the City Ground, Forest having missed the chance to make it 7 wins in succession for the first time since 1922 and close the gap from the top to 3 points; nonetheless a successful result for the Reds who are now 2nd, 6 points behind Liverpool and 1 point ahead of Arsenal - both sides with a game in hand.
- 15 January 2025: Arsenal prevail at the North London derby by a 2–1 scoreline, leapfrogging Nottingham Forest and reducing Liverpool's lead at the top to 4 points - although the Reds remain with a game in hand, whereas their rivals Tottenham slip down to 13th place, just 8 points off the bottom 3.
- 31 January 2025: The first month of 2025 draws to a close with Liverpool still in the lead, 6 points ahead of Arsenal and once again with a game in hand. Nottingham Forest have suffered their first defeat since early December but are still in 3rd, 3 points ahead of 4th place which is now claimed by Manchester City, the Citizens seemingly back on track again as they have claimed 14 points out of a possible 18 since their last loss on 21 December. Newcastle follow on goal difference, while the top 7 is rounded out by Chelsea and a Bournemouth side looking well placed for their best season of all times so far. Manchester United and Tottenham continue to struggle as they stand 12th and 15th respectively - Spurs are just 8 points off the bottom 3 as they are suffering from an unprecedented injury crisis and a run of just 1 point in their last 7 games. Southampton continue to prop up the table with 6 points as comparisons begin to arise with the infamous Derby County side of 2007–08 which became the worst in Premier League history. Three sides in Leicester, Wolves and Ipswich look to principally battle to avoid relegation - the Foxes having just picked up their first win since early December to move out of the bottom 3 - with Everton having won 2 games in succession for the first time this season to move 7 points away from the bottom 3. In the Championship, the battle for automatic promotion is beginning to turn on the heat as Leeds, Sheffield United, Burnley and Sunderland are separated by 5 points - with 4th placed Sunderland 10 points ahead of 5th place, it looks almost certain that these 4 sides will battle it out for the title and automatic promotion. The battle for the play-offs is also getting very intense as just 4 points separate 5th placed Blackburn Rovers (who have played a game more over the other teams) from 10th placed Sheffield Wednesday, with West Brom rounding out the top 6. Plymouth Argyle remain bottom, 7 points from safety, with Luton and Derby joining them in the bottom 3 - Luton being on a run of just 1 point in 7 games as they look certain to battle a 2nd successive relegation, while Derby have slipped into the bottom 3 by virtue of a 6-match losing streak.
- 1 February 2025: Nottingham Forest respond in emphatic fashion to their heavy last matchday defeat at Bournemouth by thrashing Brighton by an incredible 7–0 scoreline to record their largest Premier League victory. It is the first time the Reds win by this margin since beating Chelsea 7–0 in April 1991, and the first time they score 7 goals since putting as many against Sheffield Wednesday in April 1995. Later the same evening, Everton thrash Leicester 4–0 to record their third straight win, and third in four games under David Moyes, to move 9 points off the bottom 3, while Southampton pick up just their 2nd win of the season, winning 2–1 away to fellow strugglers Ipswich Town.
- 2 February 2025: Arsenal deliver a masterclass, thrashing Manchester City by an emphatic 5–1 scoreline and moving once again to within six points of leaders Liverpool, leaving Manchester City in 4th after inflicting their first Premier League defeat in more than a month - although the Citizens, for whom it is a 4th defeat with 4 or more goals conceded in the season, could fall into 5th as Chelsea are playing on Monday.
- 9 February 2025: The biggest upset of the season by far, and one of the biggest FA Cup shocks of all times takes place in the fourth round as bottom of the Championship side Plymouth Argyle claim a shock 1–0 victory over Premier League leaders Liverpool, thus knocking the Reds out of the competition and ending their hopes of a possible unprecedented quadruple, in a match in which the two sides are separated by 43 positions across the Football League pyramid.
- 28 February 2025: February ends with Liverpool boasting a massive 13-point lead over 2nd place - albeit having played a game more - and it seems to be now a matter of when, than if, will the Reds secure their 2nd league title in 5 seasons. Arsenal remain 2nd with a 6-point cushion over 3rd place, a severe injury crisis particularly in their attacking units having essentially thrown the Gunners out of the title race. Despite a relatively poor - for this year's standards - run of 2 wins from 7 games, Nottingham Forest remain 3rd, although just one point ahead of Manchester City. Chelsea remain 5th, with Newcastle and Bournemouth rounding out the top 7 - although the race of the European spots has heated up as just 6 points separate 3rd Nottingham from 10th-placed Aston Villa. Despite having picked up just their 2nd win of the season, Southampton remain stuck to the bottom of the table, their return to the Championship being now a matter of when, than if. Wolverhampton Wanderers are now out of the bottom zone, 5 points from safety at the expense of Leicester and Ipswich, although the relegation battle remains far from decided at this point. In the Championship, successive derby victories have seen Leeds build a 5-point cushion over 2nd-placed Sheffield United. Burnley - which have gone 12 games without conceding a goal, having last conceded on 21 December - are in 3rd, 2 points off the Blades, while a bad run of form has seen Sunderland slip to 5 points from 2nd place, having played a game more over the sides above. The battle for 5th and 6th place remains as heated as ever, with Blackburn in 5th and West Brom in 6th once again, Blackburn being separated from 14th-placed Queens Park Rangers by just 7 points. The relegation zone is unchanged by terms of sides from last month, although positions have been changed, with Luton 24th, Derby in 23rd and Plymouth 22nd.
- 8 March 2025: Nottingham Forest's fairytale season continues as the Reds defeat Manchester City 1–0, picking up their first victory over the Citizens since 1995 and cementing their place among the Champions League positions.
- 9 March 2025: Chelsea beat Leicester 1-0 and leapfrog reigning champions Manchester City into 4th place. Arsenal can only manage a 1–1 draw away to Manchester United, allowing Liverpool - who beat Southampton 3–1 on Saturday - to build a most likely insurmountable 15-point gap at the summit, even with the Gunners having a game in hand.
- 16 March 2025: Newcastle go down in history, the Toon Army defeating Liverpool 2–1 in the Carabao Cup final and securing their first domestic trophy since the 1955 FA Cup - and first trophy overall since the 1969 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, and leaving Liverpool, battling for the quadruple until slightly more than a month ago, with only the Premier League left to fight for, following their mid-week Champions League exit at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain.
- 1 April 2025: After a 2-week hiatus due to the international break and FA Cup action on the last weekend of March, Premier League football resumes with Nottingham Forest claiming a 1–0 victory over Manchester United, making it the first time since the 1991–92 season in which the Reds made the double over United and strengthening their grip on the Champions League places, while also having made the FA Cup semi-finals for the first time in 34 years. Arsenal beat Fulham 2–1, with Bukayo Saka scoring on his first appearance in 2025 - having just returned from injury, while a 1–0 victory over West Ham all but seals survival for Wolverhampton Wanderers, as they now have a 12-point cushion on the drop zone in spite of having a game in hand over the three sides below them.
- 2 April 2025: Manchester City beat Leicester 2–0 to move back into the top four once again, with Newcastle one point behind - and with a game in hand - although Chelsea could overtake both sides should the Blues win in the London derby against Tottenham. Ipswich pick up just their 4th win of the campaign away to Bournemouth, to keep their slim hopes of survival alive, ahead of a crucial next week game against Wolverhampton Wanderers, whereas Southampton draw at home to Crystal Palace, raising their point tally to 10 and needing only one point in their remaining games to avoid breaking Derby County's unwanted record of the worst top flight side standing in 17 years.
- 6 April 2025: Southampton become the first side in the country to suffer relegation following a 3–1 defeat at Tottenham that leaves the club 22 points from safety with 21 left to fight for, the Saints suffering the earliest relegation in Premier League history with 7 games remaining, breaking the previous record of 6.
- 8 April 2025: Birmingham City become the first side in the country to clinch promotion, a 2–1 victory over Peterborough propelling the Blues 17 points clear of 3rd placed Wycombe Wanderers with 5 games remaining - Birmingham even having a game in hand - thus bouncing back from their relegation and ensuring that their first season in the third tier in 30 years will be the last one.
- 12 April 2025: Only a few days after securing promotion, Birmingham secure the League One title as well courtesy of Wrexham's draw away to Wigan Athletic leaving the Red Dragons 13 points from the Blues with 12 left to fight for.
- 16 April 2025: Arsenal reach the Champions League semi-finals for the first time since 2009, following a magnificent two-leg dismantling of reigning champions Real Madrid by an impressive aggregate score of 5-1.
- 17 April 2025: In what will go down in history as one of the best football matches of all time, Manchester United produce a remarkable comeback to defeat Lyon by an astonishing 5–4 scoreline - after having led 2–0 at half-time, being 4–2 down in extra time with 7 minutes remaining and scoring twice in stoppage time of extra time - to set up a Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao as the possibility of an all-English final remains open, Tottenham knocking out Eintracht Frankfurt by an aggregate score of 2–1 to set up a semi-final against the surprise package of the season in Bodø/Glimt.
- 18 April 2025: Shrewsbury Town become the second side in the Football League pyramid to have its relegation confirmed, the Shrews' terrible campaign culminating in their first relegation in 10 years and ending their 10-season stay in League One.
- 19 April 2025: A 1–1 draw against West Ham means that Southampton can no longer break Derby County's infamous points tally record as the Saints reach a total of 11 points, meaning that at worst-case scenario they will end up tied with the Rams as the two worst sides in Premier League history. Later on the same evening, Aston Villa thrash Newcastle 4–1 to throw the Champions League race into chaos, with just 5 points separating 3rd placed Newcastle from 6th placed Chelsea, a cushion that might be even further reduced with the Blues having a game in hand.
- 20 April 2025: On Easter Sunday, Chelsea beat Fulham 2–1 and move to within 2 points of 3rd place, meaning that there are 5 sides battling for 3 Champions League places and all are within 2 points of each other. Wolverhampton Wanderers pick up a shock 1–0 away win to Manchester United, making it the first time since 1970 that Wolves pick up 5 successive victories, a run that allows them to mathematically secure their Premier League status for next year. Liverpool beat Leicester 1–0 and move to within one win from mathematically securing the title; the same result officially relegates Leicester, while a 4–0 thrashing by Arsenal leaves Ipswich on the brink of relegation; barring an extraordinarily unlikely set of results in the remaining matches, this will be the second season in a row that all three promoted sides will be relegated straight back.
- 21 April 2025: Leeds and Burnley both win their respective games, 6–0 against Stoke and 2–1 against Sheffield United, to mathematically secure their return to the Premier League after two seasons and one season, respectively. Morecambe become the first side to lose their Football League status for next season, the Shrimps' relegation from League Two being confirmed today following a 3–1 home defeat to Salford, ending their 18-year presence in the Football League.
- 26 April 2025: Ipswich Town's mathematical relegation is confirmed following a defeat to Newcastle - marking the first time in Premier League history that all three relegated sides have their fate sealed with 4 games to go. Cardiff City become the first side from the Championship to be relegated to League One, ending a streak of 22 seasons in the top two tiers of English football, whereas Plymouth need a mathematical miracle to avoid returning to League One after two years. Wrexham continue their meteoric rise by securing promotion to the Championship, becoming the first side in English football history to win 3 successive promotions and return to the second tier after a 43-year absence. Cambridge United are relegated to League Two, returning to the basement tier of the Football League after 4 seasons. Doncaster Rovers and Port Vale secure their promotion to League One, after 3 years and 1 year, respectively, whereas Carlisle United suffer their 2nd successive relegation to return to the National League after a 20-year stint in the Football League.
- 27 April 2025: Liverpool thrash Tottenham 5–1 to mathematically secure their 2nd title triumph in 5 seasons, 2nd Premier League title, and 20th overall league title, equalling Manchester United's record.
- 29 April 2025: Burton Albion pick up a 1–1 draw against Wigan to mathematically secure their safety and complete their own version of the "Great Escape", after beginning the season with just 2 wins from their first 27 games - until mid-January.
- 30 April 2025: A few days after smashing the League One point tally record of 103, Birmingham City break the all-time Football League record of 106 points as a win moves them up to 108 points, and that is with another match remaining, against relegated Cambridge United.
- 8 May 2025: Despite struggling domestically for almost the entire campaign, both Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur reach the Europa League final, the two sides looking to win their first Europa League title after 8 and 41 years, respectively.
