Premier League Relegation Odds, Predictions, Picks 2025

• The Premier League 2024/25 season began on August 16 and finishes on May 25

• The campaign will feature 38 rounds of fixtures spread over more than nine months

• Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton have been relegated

The 2024/25 Premier League season began on August 16 and will end on May 25, but the relegation battle has already been decided.

Southampton were the first club to be relegated earlier this month and they were joined by Leicester City after a 1-0 loss to Liverpool the weekend before last. On Saturday, Ipswich Town’s demotion was confirmed after they lost to Newcastle United.

This is the second season in a row that the three promoted clubs have gone straight back down to the Championship. That is a worrying trend given the extent to which the Premier League has prided itself on its competitiveness in recent years.

Premier League Relegation 2025 Odds

There are no longer odds available for Premier League relegation 2024/25.

How Does Relegation Work in the Premier League?

The Premier League is played on a double round-robin basis. Each team in the division plays every other side home and away, giving a total of 38 matches.

Three points are awarded for every win and one point for every tie. At the end of the campaign, the three sides with the fewest points are relegated.

As a result of this format, there is no fixed date when Premier League relegation is announced – that moment is simply confirmed when it is no longer mathematically possible for a team to finish 17th or higher.

The earliest confirmation of relegation from the Premier League came when Derby County’s fate was sealed on 29 March 2008.

What Does Relegation Mean in the Premier League?

Relegation ends a club’s participation in the Premier League. A team that is relegated will spend the following season in the Championship, the second tier of English soccer.

Relegation is an important part of the English soccer system, which makes it a key point of difference with MLS in the United States.

It is seen as essential to sporting integrity within the English soccer pyramid, and the vast majority of supporters of Premier League clubs would oppose the removal of relegation, even if it benefited their team.

The presence of relegation also makes the Premier League more entertaining. Because the division lacks a play-off system, the majority of clubs would have nothing to fight for if the threat of demotion was abolished. Relegation battles are sometimes even more dramatic and engaging than title races.
