how many teams have never been relegated from the premier league

June 28, 2026

Six teams have never been relegated from the Premier League since it began in 1992: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur. BBC Sport and Opta Analyst both report the same six-club group, which is the current answer as of 2026.

Clubs on the list

Arsenal.
Chelsea.
Everton.
Liverpool.
Manchester United.
Tottenham Hotspur.

One small wrinkle

Some older articles and forum posts mention different counts because they mix up “never relegated from the Premier League” with “never relegated in club history,” which is a different stat. Under the Premier League-only definition, the number is six.

TL;DR: Six teams have never been relegated from the Premier League: Arsenal, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur.
