Who qualified for the 2025/26 Champions League?
In total, England will have six teams playing in next season’s Champions League.
The top five teams in the final EPL table, Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle, have qualified based on their league position. Tottenham Hotspur are the sixth team to qualify, as a result of their win in last season’s Europa League, which saw them gain direct entry into the UCL. That title was won despite an awful league season in which the North London side finished in 17th position, just one place above the relegation places. Despite Ange Postecoglou seeing his side earn a Champions League place, the poor league form was enough to see the charismatic Australian relieved of his duties in early June.
Who qualified for the 2025/26 Europa League?
Aston Villa’s sixth-place finish was enough to gain a place in next season’s Europa League. Crystal Palace were set to join them, after the South London club won the FA Cup. However, Palace were demoted to the Conference League due to rules about multi-club ownership in the same competition because of their links to Lyon. Their place was awarded to Nottingham Forest, who had originally qualified for the UEFA Conference League.
Who qualified for the 2025/26 Conference League?
Despite spending a large part of the season in one of the Champions League places, a stuttering end to the campaign for Nottingham Forest saw the Tricky Trees drop into seventh place and a place in next season’s Conference League.
However, Forest now find themselves in the Europa League after Crystal Palace were demoted from that tournament to the Conference League due to rules about multi-club ownership.
Despite the disappointment of missing out of the Europa League, Palace will hope to emulate Chelsea and bring the trophy back to British soil for the third time in the competition’s five-year history.
Which teams were relegated to the Championship?
The three promoted teams from the previous season all made an instant return to the Championship, emphasising an ever-increasing gap between the top two divisions.
Southampton set a new unwanted record as they became the first ever Premier League side to have relegation confirmed with seven matches of the season still to play. Their final tally of 12 points was the second lowest in Premier League history. Joining the Saints in an instant return were Ipswich Town and Leicester City, who both knew their destiny with several matches still to play.
Which teams were promoted from the Championship?
Burnley were the only side from the trio of relegated clubs from the 2023/24 EPL season to bounce back at the first attempt. They finished in second place in the 2024/25 Championship table, level with Leeds on points but with an inferior goal difference. Sunderland were the third side to be promoted after defeating Sheffield United in the playoff final, despite finishing 14 points behind the Blades in the regular season.
