This article concerns '''football records in England'''. Unless otherwise stated, records are taken from the [[English Football League|Football League]] or [[Premier League]]. Where a different record exists for the [[List of English football champions|top flight]] ([[Football League First Division]] 1888–1992, and [[Premier League]] 1992–present), this is also given. This article includes clubs based in Wales that compete in English leagues.

==League==
The original league saw twelve teams become the founding members of the Football League in 1888–89: [[Accrington F.C.|Accrington]], [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]], [[Bolton Wanderers F.C.|Bolton Wanderers]], [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley]], [[Everton F.C.|Everton]], [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston North End]], [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]], [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]], [[Notts County F.C.|Notts County]], [[Stoke City F.C.|Stoke City]], [[West Bromwich Albion F.C.|West Bromwich Albion]] and [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Football League – facts, stats and history |url=https://www.footballhistory.org/league/football-league.html |access-date=17 October 2022 |website=www.footballhistory.org}}</ref>

Three of the teams (Blackburn Rovers, Everton and Aston Villa) also played in the first [[Premier League]] season in [[1992–93 FA Premier League|1992–93]], but Notts County missed out, finishing in the relegation zone in 1991–92.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oldest Football Clubs {{!}} List of the Oldest Football Teams in the World {{!}} Football-Stadiums.co.uk |url=https://www.football-stadiums.co.uk/articles/oldest-football-clubs/ |access-date=17 October 2022 |website=www.football-stadiums.co.uk|date=22 March 2017 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=1991–92 Season Final Football Tables |url=http://www.englishfootballleaguetables.co.uk/final/f1991-92.html#d1 |access-date=17 October 2022 |website=English Football League Tables}}</ref>

A [[Football League Second Division|second division]] was added four years later for the 1892–93 season, resulting in the Football League now becoming the [[Football League First Division]], the top division for the next one hundred years. The Southern League became Division 3 in 1920. A Northern League formed the following year that became [[Football League Third Division North|Division Three North]]. In 1958 the regional divisions combined to form the [[Football League Third Division|Third Division]] and a national [[Football League Fourth Division|Fourth Division]]. The top 12 sides from the Northern and Southern divisions formed the Third Division, whilst the bottom 12 of the respective divisions formed the new fourth tier.<ref name="Brown-History">{{Cite web |last=Brown |first=Tony |title=A Short History of the Football League |url=http://www.soccer.mistral.co.uk/fleg/flhist.htm |access-date=17 October 2022 |website=www.soccer.mistral.co.uk}}</ref>

Nine clubs have reached double figures of league titles, with Liverpool and Manchester United leading the chasing pack. Five clubs have managed to win all four divisions, while a further seven clubs need the top title to complete the full set.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=English League Championship Winners all Four Flights 1888–2022 |url=https://www.myfootballfacts.com/england_footy/english-domestic/total-league-championship-won/ |access-date=17 October 2022 |website=My Football Facts |language=en-US}}</ref> [[Luton Town F.C.|Luton Town]] have technically also won four different divisions, albeit one of these was the [[National League (English football)|National League]] (the first tier of English non-league football) in 2014.<ref>{{Cite web |author=Guardian Staff |date=15 April 2014 |title=Luton Town return to the Football League after five-year exile |url=http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/apr/15/luton-town-promoted-football-league |access-date=17 October 2022 |website=The Guardian}}</ref>

For the 1919–20 season, the first season after the [[First World War]], [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] were controversially elected in to the first division, despite finishing fifth in the last season before the outbreak of war in the second division. However, they have remained at this level ever since.<ref name="Brown-History" /><ref>{{cite web |date=11 February 2022 |title=The 1919 football league election: Rival fans are still arguing today |url=https://footballpink.net/the-1919-football-league-election-rival-fans-are-still-arguing-today/ |access-date=14 November 2022 |website=Football Pink}}</ref> Arsenal had once previously won promotion after finishing second behind [[Preston North End F.C.|Preston North End]] in the [[1903–04 Football League|1903–04]] season, staying there until finishing bottom in [[1912–13 Football League|1912–13]]. Other clubs won elections to play in the first division. [[Blackburn Rovers F.C.|Blackburn Rovers]] and [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] in 1898, [[Bury F.C.|Bury]] and [[Notts County F.C.|Notts County]] in 1905 and [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] (alongside Arsenal) in 1919 were also elected to the top flight.<ref name="Brown-History" /> Blackburn later won division 2 in 1938–39, and Newcastle United finished runners-up in 1947–48. Notts County became second division champions in 1913–14, while Bury would finish runners-up in 1923–24. In the 1929–30 season, Chelsea finished second behind Blackpool.<ref name="English Football final table pages">{{Cite web |title=English Football final table pages |url=http://www.englishfootballleaguetables.co.uk/final/indexftables.html |access-date=17 October 2022 |website=English Football League Tables}}</ref> Arsenal, still to this day, have the unenviable record as being the only club who have never earned their place in the top flight, through their league position, after being elected in the 1919–20 season.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Seasons in the Top Flight of English Football by Clubs 1888-89 to 2024-25 |url=https://www.myfootballfacts.com/england_footy/football-league/seasons-in-top-flight/ |access-date=2025-01-06 |website=My Football Facts |language=en-US}}</ref>

Holding the record of continuous seasons, Arsenal are some way ahead of other clubs who have suffered relegation. [[Everton F.C.|Everton]] spent three years in the second division before finishing as runners-up to [[Leicester City F.C.|Leicester City]] in the 1953–54 season. Neighbours [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]], after having spent eight years outside the top division, won the second division title in the 1961–62 season. [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] bounced straight back up in 1974–75, after finishing second bottom in 1973–74. This would be Manchester United's last football league title before the birth of the [[Premier League]], in their only time outside the top division since the end of the Second World War. [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] also spent a season in the Second Division; similarly to Manchester United, it is the only time they have been outside the top flight since 1950. In 1976–77, Spurs conceded 72 goals as they finished bottom; the following season, they finished third in the second division to earn promotion back to the top flight.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1977–78 Season Final Football Tables |url=http://www.englishfootballleaguetables.co.uk/final/f1977-78.html#d2 |access-date=31 October 2022 |website=English Football League Tables}}</ref> Chelsea have been in the top flight since 1989 after winning the second division, while [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] one of the founders of the premier league spent 5 years out of the top flight but were present there since their 2002 promotion as Division 1 (2nd Tier) Winners. The 1998–99 season saw Manchester City earn promotion from Division 2 (currently known as [[EFL League One|League One]]), after winning a penalty shootout against [[Gillingham F.C.|Gillingham]] in the [[EFL League One play-offs|play-off final]].<ref>{{Cite web |last=CityPlus |title=Classic match replay: City 2-2 Gillingham (3-1p) 1999 |url=https://www.mancity.com/citytv/city-plus/manchester-city-gillingham-1999-division-2-playoff-final-match-replay-63772397 |access-date=2025-01-06 |website=Manchester City FC |language=en}}</ref> City finished as runners-up to [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]] in Division 1 (currently known as the [[EFL Championship|Championship]]) the following season, then made an immediate return after relegation in 2001, before securing their seventh second division title.<ref>{{Cite web |title=On this day: City's 2002 Division One title win |url=https://www.mancity.com/news/mens/2001-2002-division-one-title-win-manchester-city-63784852 |access-date=2025-01-06 |website=Manchester City FC |language=en}}</ref>

Unlike many European clubs that have never played outside their country's top division, no English club can claim that achievement. 65 clubs have played at the top level, six clubs have never returned, and the rest, apart from Arsenal, have secured promotion from the second division.<ref name=":1">{{cite web |title=Seasons in the Top Flight of English Football by Clubs 1888–89 to 2022–23 |url=https://www.myfootballfacts.com/england_footy/football-league/seasons-in-top-flight/ |access-date=17 October 2022 |website=My Football Facts}}</ref> [[Glossop F.C.|Glossop]], [[Leyton Orient F.C.|Leyton Orient]], [[Northampton Town F.C.|Northampton Town]], [[Carlisle United F.C.|Carlisle United]], [[Swindon Town F.C.|Swindon Town]], and [[Barnsley F.C.|Barnsley]] have completed only one season in the top flight.<ref>{{Cite web |author1=FourFourTwo Staff |date=30 March 2020 |title=Monday teaser: Which clubs spent just one season in the top flight? |url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com/news/monday-teaser-which-clubs-spent-just-one-season-top-flight |access-date=18 October 2022 |website=fourfourtwo.com}}</ref> The club that can boast playing the most seasons in the top tier is [[Everton F.C.|Everton]], who are about to play their 121st season there (out of a possible 125 league seasons).<ref name=":1" /> The city of [[Liverpool]] has always been represented in footballs top tier. While Everton suffered relegation in 1930, Liverpool remained, though Everton instantly returned to the top flight a year later. After three years in the second division from 1951 to 1954, Everton won promotion to the First Division, swapping places with Liverpool who had been relegated; it would be eight years later that under [[Bill Shankly]], Liverpool were promoted from the second division.<ref name=":1" />

{{Main|List of English football champions}}

Twenty four different [[Football team|football clubs]] have been crowned English champions since the league began in 1888.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Most Premier League titles |url=https://www.statista.com/statistics/383696/premier-league-wins-by-team/ |access-date=17 October 2022 |website=Statista}}</ref> Some clubs have enjoyed regular success with others not so fortunate.

[[Sheffield United F.C.|Sheffield United]] won in 1898 but no second title has yet arrived. Their neighbours, [[Sheffield Wednesday F.C.|Sheffield Wednesday]], have won the league more recently than them, but have not added to their tally of four league titles, with their most recent success coming in 1930. [[Huddersfield Town A.F.C.|Huddersfield Town]] won a hat-trick of titles between 1924 and 1926, but nearly a century later no fourth title has been added.<ref>{{Cite web |last=EFL |date=2023-09-20 |title=EFL Rewind: Treble-winning Terriers on top |url=https://www.efl.com/news/2023/september/20/efl-rewind--treble-winning-terriers-on-top/ |access-date=2025-01-08 |website=EFL |language=en}}</ref> 

It is approaching 100 years since [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]] were English champions while [[Tottenham Hotspur F.C.|Tottenham Hotspur]] have now gone 63 years without any league titles. [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]] had to wait 50 years before their first [[Premier League]] success in 2005, although they did win the [[Football League Second Division|second division]] twice in the 1980s.<ref name="English Football final table pages"/> 

[[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] endured 44 barren years before winning the league title in 2012. [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] went 41 years without the top title, but that time period includes two world wars, with eleven seasons lost. [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]], meanwhile, are currently in their longest period without a league title since first becoming English champions in 1931, with their last triumph coming in [[2003–04 Arsenal F.C. season|2004]]. Arsenal went 18 years without a title twice, 1953 until 1971, then again until 1989.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Current EPL Clubs' Longest "Between Titles" Droughts |url=http://www.footyfair.com/2015/07/current-epl-clubs-longest-between.html |access-date=17 October 2022 |website=Footy Fair}}</ref>
