The battle to avoid Premier League relegation in 2023/24 is now over after Luton Town, Burnley and Sheffield United succumbed to the drop.

Premier League Relegation 2023/24 Odds

The best online sportsbooks are no longer offering odds on Premier League relegation after the 2023/24 season came to an end on Sunday.

The three promoted teams succumbed to the drop after 38 matches. Sheffield United finished bottom of the table with 16 points. They conceded a total of 104 goals, setting an unwanted new record in the process.

Burnley finished second-bottom with 24 points, while Luton Town amassed 26. That was not enough to survive, though, with Nottingham Forest registering 32 points in 17th place.

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.

Which Clubs Were Relegated in the Premier League 2022/23?

Southampton were the first team relegated from the Premier League in 2022/23. Previously heralded as a model club, the Saints went through three different managers - Ralph Hasenhuttl, Nathan Jones, and Ruben Selles - on their way to the Championship.

Leeds United and Leicester City were relegated on the final day of the campaign. The Whites returned to the second tier after three years in the Premier League, while Leicester suffered a shock demotion.
