Premier League · 2020–⁠21 to 2025–⁠26

The Trapdoor

Every club promoted to or relegated from the Premier League at the end of the six seasons from 2020–⁠21 to 2025–⁠26, followed season by season through the pyramid, and set against the first season of every club that went up or down since 1995–⁠96.

Two seasons, no survivors

Six promoted, six straight back down

Luton, Burnley and Sheffield Utd in 2023–⁠24, then Leicester, Ipswich and Southampton in 2024–⁠25: the first time it had happened in two Premier League seasons running.
