When was last time Premier League’s Big Six clubs were relegated?

The last time they were relegated was in the 90s.

When was the last time a “big six” team was demoted from the Premier League? Being a member of the Premier League, the world’s most lucrative and well-known domestic football competition, offers enormous financial rewards.

Relegation from the league is therefore a disastrous outcome, both financially and competitively. We examine the most recent instance of England’s largest clubs being relegated from the top division (Premier League).

Last time each Premier League Big Six club was relegated

6. Manchester City

Manchester City were last relegated in 2001. They finished 18th that season, eight points outside of safety, and their fate was sealed with a 2-1 loss against Ipswich Town during the last matchweek. After two seasons in the third division, the top flight was simply too much after consecutive promotion campaigns.

5. Chelsea

Chelsea are a relatively recent addition to the titans of the English top flight, much like Manchester City. Chelsea were far more vulnerable to relegation before then; they had been demoted from Division One in 1975 and 1977, and their most recent relegation occurred in 1988, marking their third relegation from the top division in 14 seasons.

Chelsea weren’t built until the mid-1990s, when the Blues consistently finished in the top half. After Roman Abramovich bought the London club in 2003, they became the formidable force they are today.

4. Tottenham Hotspur

Under coach Keith Burkinshaw, Tottenham Hotspur were demoted to the second division in 1977, the last time they fell out of the top league.

The next season, they were promoted back to the top table, and they have remained a constant in the top division ever since. Before that, Spurs were demoted in 1935 and played in the second division for several decades until winning Division Two in 1950 and being promoted to the top.

3. Arsenal

Arsenal have a long-standing presence that none of the great English teams can match. The Gunners have had a consistent and yearly presence in the top division of English football for more than a century, making them the longest-serving team in the top tier.

In the early days of Division One, Arsenal finished 20th and were last demoted in 1913.

2. Liverpool

Liverpool have established themselves as one of the most reliable titans of English football throughout their illustrious history. After seven years of gradual decline, the Reds’ final relegation occurred in 1954, marking the end of their 1947 championship decline.

After coming third four times in Division Two for eight years, they were able to return to the top flight in 1962 after winning the second tier. Since then, they have been a dominant force.

1. Manchester United

For over a century, Manchester United have dominated English football, but even the legendary Red Devils have occasionally made mistakes.

Just over 50 years ago, in 1974, Manchester United were demoted from the top flight after finishing in 21st position. They finished 18th the season before, five points ahead of the drop and safe from relegation with 22 teams in the league, so it had been coming. But they would quickly return, winning Division Two the next year and becoming stalwarts of the top level ever since.
