League Competitions (Men's)

Premier League

In what was a three-horse race for nearly the entire campaign, Manchester City became the first English side to win four straight titles – Pep Guardiola's side overcoming a rough run of form before Christmas to once again hold off challenges from Arsenal and Liverpool, finishing with both 91 points and their first unbeaten league season at the Etihad for 12 years as well as securing victory in the UEFA Super Cup and the Club World Cup. Arsenal finished in 2nd place for the 2nd successive season, but unlike last year, the Gunners this time took the battle for the title to the last day, helped in no small part by an extraordinary run of form in 2024, only slip-ups during the Christmas period proving costly to the North London side who also reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time since 2010, only being knocked out by a narrow defeat to Bayern Munich. In what turned out to be Jürgen Klopp's final season, Liverpool remained in the top 3 for virtually the entire campaign and even led the table for nearly the entire winter whilst being in contention for another possible quadruple until a collapse in form in the spring saw them exit both the Europa League and the FA Cup, whilst a succession of dropped points in the league enabled City and Arsenal to overtake, none-the-less securing a third-place finish and improving on the previous season, while also winning the League Cup for the 2nd time in 3 seasons. Unai Emery's first full season in charge of Aston Villa was deemed a success as the Villans qualified for Europe's top competition for the first time since 1983, as well as reaching the Conference League semi-finals - perhaps the only disappointment being early exits in both domestic cup competitions.

Tottenham Hotspur went through another turbulent season; despite recording a hot start, finishing October top of the table and without defeat after 10 games, an injury crisis and indifferent form across the rest of the campaign took its toll on the North London club, consigning them to fifth place; still a good placing for the club, in their first season without star striker Harry Kane and under Australian head coach Ange Postecoglou. Chelsea languished in mid-table for most of the campaign as they suffered from greatly inconsistent form - despite reaching the final of the League Cup - but the Blues went on a resurgence from mid-February that propelled them up the table, helped by the free goal-scoring efforts of summer signing Cole Palmer who finished as the division's 2nd highest scorer with 22 goals, to secure a sixth-place finish and a return to European football; their season, however, was tempered by manager Mauricio Pochettino's sudden departure shortly after the last game. An extensive injury crisis saw Newcastle United's campaign fizzle out early on, with early exits in both their domestic competitions and the Champions League – with only a decent resurgence in form from the end of January ensuring a seventh-place finish. Manchester United endured a very disappointing season, suffering an early exit in the Champions League, on top of poor domestic form and largely unconvincing performances as the Red Devils finished with a negative goal difference and suffered their lowest league finish - in 8th - in 34 years, all combining to put pressure on manager Erik ten Hag; the season, however, ended on a bright note as the club won its 13th FA Cup, overcoming league champions and crosstown rivals Manchester City in the final.

In contrast to their unexpected qualifying for the Europa League last season, Brighton and Hove Albion's season rapidly faded out, especially in 2024 as the Seagulls won just seven games after September to miss out on the top ten (also failing to keep a clean sheet until the New Year); their very first European campaign saw them reach the last 16 of the Europa League, bowing out with a heavy first-leg loss to Roma, with head coach Roberto De Zerbi announcing his departure after the season's end. West Ham United were another team that saw their season fizzle out; whilst they remained in the top-six battle for much longer, a collapse in form in the New Year saw the Hammers slip out of the race and capped a disappointing end to what was manager David Moyes' final season in charge, which also included a run to the Europa League quarter-finals. A run of form that saw only 3 wins between October and April saw Crystal Palace once more sucked into the relegation fight, the Eagles seeing manager Roy Hodgson resign in mid-February following a health scare amid reports of a potential sacking; the London club recovered remarkably, embarking on a great late resurgence - that included thumping victories over Manchester United and Aston Villa among others - under new manager Oliver Glasner to equal their highest Premier League finish of 10th. The shock pre-season decision by Bournemouth to sack head coach Gary O'Neil in favour of Spaniard Andoni Iraola ended up proving to be an inspired choice, only terrible form at both ends of the season and a lengthy winless run after Christmas preventing the Cherries from a potential race for European qualification, their highlights including a first ever away win at Manchester United.

For only the second time in Premier League history, and first since 1998, all three promoted sides were relegated straight back to the Championship, in a relegation battle impacted by points deductions for financial irregularities; Sheffield United secured one of the lowest points total for a newly-promoted side, the Blades breaking the unwanted records held by both Swindon Town and Derby County for goals conceded in a top-flight season (Swindon having conceded 100 goals in 42 games and Derby 89 goals in 38 games), finishing with 104 goals conceded. Burnley also endured a disappointing return to the top-flight, the Clarets (and manager Vincent Kompany) earning praise for their continued attacking tactics but completely failing to transfer these tactics into results, their two biggest wins coming against Sheffield United. In spite of a remarkable goal-scoring record (the best for a play-off winning side since Blackpool) and some impressive results, including taking 4 points off both Newcastle and Everton, Luton Town filled the last relegation place in their first top-flight season since 1992, the Hatters' failure to turn their goals into results, as well as a terrible defensive record, going against them. In spite of enduring points deductions twice, having a total of 8 points deducted, Everton managed to secure safety with several weeks to go - despite a lengthy winless run extending from Christmas to early April, the Toffees went on a late run of 16 points from the last 8 games to extend their 70-year stay in the top flight. Brentford endured a tough season as injuries to key players and a lengthy ban on star striker Ivan Toney plunged the Bees into the relegation mire, only a couple of late wins helping them scrape to safety. Nottingham Forest were also involved in the relegation battle for nearly the entire season, the club's position worsening from a 4-point deduction imposed in March, but still the Reds secured their top-flight stay for another season while also finishing the campaign with 32 points, the lowest total to secure top-flight safety - breaking the record set by West Bromwich Albion in 2005.

Championship

In a remarkable Championship campaign, with vital table positions left open heading into the last matchday, Leicester City secured an immediate return to the Premier League as champions; the Foxes had looked uncatchable up until February, when a bad run of form allowed the teams behind to close the gap - and despite the title race becoming a three-horse one for much of the spring. Enzo Maresca's side recovered impressively in the closing weeks to comfortably win the second tier title for a record 8th time. Ipswich Town remarkably finished 2nd, amassing a record-for-2nd-place 96 points; the Tractor Boys remained in the top 6 for the entire campaign, against all odds, occupying 2nd place for virtually the entire first half of the season and even overcoming poor runs of form either sides of January and in April, to end their 22-year exile from the Premier League in style and become only the fifth side to win successive promotions from the third tier to the top flight, an achievement that earned coach Kieran McKenna and his side universal praise. The play-off final ended up being between the other relegated sides in Leeds United and Southampton, with Southampton ultimately winning out to earn head coach Russell Martin promotion in his first season at the club, the Saints overcoming a bad start to embark on a club record unbeaten run and only falling away from the top two by virtue of indifferent form in the closing months.

Leeds United overcame a slow start to the campaign, a spectacular run of form in 2024 propelling them into the automatic promotion race, but a familiar end-of-the-season slump saw the Whites finish 3rd despite amassing 90 points, a tally that would've seen automatic promotion in almost every other season.

The fight for the last two play off spots proved to be exciting with 5 teams in contention in the last weeks but in the end the two teams who joined Leeds United and Southampton were West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City. Albion's 5th place finish earned manager Carlos Corberán praise due to him not being able to buy a single player in either transfer window, but Norwich's failure to get promoted saw their manager David Wagner sacked after the semi final loss to Leeds United. Hull City also mounted a play off challenge, only missing out by a final day defeat - despite an overall successful season, manager Liam Rosenior was sacked after the final matchday for his failure to finish in the play-offs.

Both Middlesbrough and Coventry City failed to emulate last season's success of reaching the play-offs, as they finished 8th and 9th respectively, Boro's hopes of another play-off finish dented by a failure to win their first 7 games, whereas the Sky Blues never looked like mounting a serious play-off challenge, not helped by a terrible end to their season either, although both clubs made up for it with impressive cup runs, Middlesbrough reaching the Carabao Cup semi-finals and even beating Chelsea in the first leg before suffering a heavy second leg defeat, whilst Coventry reached the FA Cup semi-finals, forcing extra time against Manchester United despite falling 3-0 behind and only losing on penalties, in a match where they even had a 120-minute goal marginally ruled out for offside. Plymouth Argyle's first season at this level in 13 years was troublesome, the club remaining all season long in the bottom half of the table but having no real fear of relegation until their form worsened following the departure of promotion-winning manager Steven Schumacher to Stoke City, dragging the Pilgrims into the relegation battle in the New Year, ultimately staying up thanks to a last-matchday victory. Sheffield Wednesday achieved one of the most unlikely survivals of all times: the club spent all but 4 matchdays in the bottom 3, beginning the season with just 3 points from 13 games, until the hiring of 34-year-old German Danny Röhl - the youngest manager in the Football League - provided an uplift in the Owls' fortunes, with several runs of good form - including a run of 14 points from their last 6 games - ensuring a second successive season in the second tier. Queens Park Rangers also spent a large part of the season looking likely for relegation, at some point even being several points from safety, but the hiring of Spaniard Martí Cifuentes provided the club with enough spark to gradually climb its way out of the bottom 3, whilst Blackburn Rovers overcame a bad run of form that saw the Lancashire club secure just five wins after November to avoid a second relegation to League One in seven years, with top scorer Sammie Szmodics finishing as the division's top goal-scorer and almost single-handedly pulling his team over the line.

In a dramatic relegation battle, with several sides in the mix up until the closing weeks, Rotherham United became the first side in the Football League to suffer relegation, in a season where they had four managers and failed to win a single away game (the Millers securing just nine away wins in their last five Championship seasons), returning to League One after a 2-year spell; the only bright spot was an upturn in form after the return of successful former manager Steve Evans late in the season, which at least prevented them from equalling their own record for the lowest-ever second tier points total. The other two relegation positions were decided on the last matchday; Huddersfield Town became the second team to be relegated, the Terriers' emphatic downward spiral since the departure of influential manager Carlos Corberán after losing in the play-off final two years ago taking its toll, in a turbulent season where they changed two managers and returned to the third tier after 12 years away, having played in the Premier League as recently as 2019. Making even bigger headlines were Birmingham City, the Blues enduring their first relegation to the third tier since 1995 – the Midlands club had actually made a bright start, only for the controversial sacking of head coach John Eustace in favour of Wayne Rooney to prove a farcical decision, the club falling to barely above the drop zone on New Year's Day; in the end, another four managers would be appointed before the end of April (with Rooney's replacement in Tony Mowbray lasting just 8 games before an unexpected medical leave of absence) but even the return of former manager Gary Rowett failed to stop the Blues' slide into the drop zone in spite of a final-day victory.

League One

In John Mousinho's first full season at the helm, Portsmouth won the League One title, topping the table for virtually the entire season and ending their 12-year exile from the Championship in style, only a somewhat poor run of form during and after Christmas preventing Pompey from breaking the 100-point mark - as the club finally secured its first promotion under American owner Michael Eisner. In a tense race, Derby County finished second, overcoming a slow start to rocket up the table after November and returning to the Championship after two seasons in the third tier, winning their first promotion since 2007 in the process and earning manager Paul Warne his fourth promotion as a manager in seven years - narrowly edging out Bolton Wanderers, who then narrowly missed out in the play-offs, losing the final to Oxford United; the U's enjoyed a remarkable season, staying in the promotion chase from the beginning and even overcoming both the loss of manager Liam Manning to Bristol City and a rough run of form in the New Year to edge back into the top six on the last day, before winning at Wembley and ending a 25-year absence from the second tier.

Blackpool failed to mount a substantial play-off challenge, a late rally proving too little too late in manager Neil Critchley's first season back in charge as indifferent form for the entire campaign ultimately took its toll on the Seasiders. The other two sides relegated from the Championship, Wigan and Reading, had their seasons marred by financial difficulties and points deductions; especially Reading, who even looked likely for a 2nd successive relegation for nearly the entire season, only pulling away from the bottom 4 in the spring, amid increasing fan protests against owner Dai Yongge, which culminated in a pitch invasion that led to a match over Port Vale in January being abandoned. Charlton Athletic, who competed in the Championship 4 years ago, endured a turbulent season, going through five different managers, a long winless run mid-season dragging the Addicks into the relegation mire; the appointment of former Luton and Southampton manager Nathan Jones provided the club with enough spark to avoid a potential relegation battle - as they went on a long unbeaten run - but 16th place was still the lowest in the club's history since the pre-World War II years. The three automatically promoted sides had quite good seasons back in the third tier; Leyton Orient managed an 11th place finish, never being threatened with relegation and even looking likely to sneak into the play-offs during late winter, in their first season back at this level in 8 years. Stevenage - in their first season in League One since 2014 - occupied a play-off position for the bulk of the season, only missing out by a poor run of form after February, while Northampton Town - back after two years in the bottom tier - spent the entire season in mid-table, finishing in 14th place - their highest in the Football League in 16 years.

Carlisle United never got back to grips with life in League One, in their first season at this tier for ten years, and were relegated in last place, sealing an immediate return to League Two - with even a couple of late wins coming too late for the Cumbrians. Port Vale suffered a complete collapse in form after briefly reaching second place in mid-September, winning just five games after that point and suffering relegation after two years in this tier, despite the appointment of experienced manager Darren Moore. Despite changing three managers, Fleetwood Town never looked likely to escape relegation as they fell in the bottom 4 after the 4th game and never left it, returning to League Two after ten years and suffering the very first relegation as the current incarnation of the club. The battle to avoid the final relegation spot proved very tight; in the end, Cheltenham took the last spot, never managing to fully recover from a terrible start that saw them fail to score in any of their first twelve games, and thus bringing the Robins' three-year spell in the division to an end, albeit managing to avoid finishing with the worst goals scored record for the campaign. Burton Albion and Cambridge United both came perilously close to relegation in the last few matchdays, but both clubs managed to just pull themselves over the line, to secure their status for the next season.

League Two

In what proved to be quite a one-sided promotion race, with all top three teams securing their place with three matchdays to go, Stockport County bounced back from their play-off final loss last year and secured the League Two title, putting a slow start behind them to return to League One after 14 years and give manager Dave Challinor his 2nd promotion in 3 years. Wrexham's meteoric rise continued, as the club's long-awaited return to the Football League ended with the Welsh side securing their second straight promotion and a place in the third tier for the first time in 19 years, the Red Dragons solidifying themselves in the top seven in early October and gradually surging up the table, perhaps only missing out on another title because of their inferior away record and a slow start. Mansfield Town finished 3rd; the Stags remained in the top 7 for virtually the entire season and even looked likely to snatch the title from Stockport, missing out by a couple of losses in March and April - their season was nonetheless rendered an immense success, the club returning to the third tier after 21 years away. Qualifying for the play-off final were Crewe Alexandra and Crawley Town, both of whom only managed to secure their play-off places on the final day but defied expectations in the semi-finals; ultimately emerging victorious were Crawley Town, the Red Devils winning on their first ever visit to Wembley to end a 9-year exile from League One and cap a triumphant first full season in charge for manager Scott Lindsey, just one season after the club had barely escaped relegation from the Football League.

Having begun their season with a run of just 2 points in 7 games and looking like battling relegation all season long, Doncaster Rovers ended their campaign with a spectacular last-season surge - including a 10-game winning streak - to secure a fifth-place finish before losing out on penalties to Crewe Alexandra. Barrow enjoyed their best season since returning to the Football League, remaining in the top 7 for most of the season, but a terrible run of just 2 points from 7 games in April, coupled with Doncaster's late meteoric rise, meant they failed to reach the play-offs, a consequence of drawing their last game. Notts County, in their first season back in the Football League after 4 years, began on a very bright note as they mounted a serious play-off challenge; the Magpies' form tailed off badly in the New Year, however, after promotion-winning manager Luke Williams departed for Swansea in early January, and the club finished in 14th, in a season awash with 175 goals, translated into an attacking record only bettered by Stockport and Mansfield, but a defensive one worse even than the two relegated sides. Harrogate Town enjoyed their best season to date with a 13th place finish, even reaching a playoff position as late as the end of February - however, only three wins from Valentine's Day onward caused them to falter down the stretch.

Just two years after winning promotion to the third tier, Forest Green Rovers finished bottom and suffered a second consecutive relegation, falling back into non-league football after 7 years, amid a dreadful season that saw several managerial changes, including the sacking of player-manager Troy Deeney in the aftermath of a post-match rant about the mentality of the squad. The battle for the last relegation place went to the final day, with Sutton United sliding back into non-league football after three years amid a rough campaign, the London side's hopes being let down by a number of draws in winnable games including a 4–4 draw on the final day of the season. Colchester United flirted with relegation on several occasions throughout the season, but managed to just pull themselves over the line following a late improvement in form, securing their survival on the final matchday.

National League

In one of the most one-sided title races in the fifth tier, Chesterfield ended their six-year absence from the Football League in some style, giving manager Paul Cook his second promotion with the club exactly a decade after his first - with perhaps the only disappointment in the campaign being their poor defensive record (worse than relegated Kidderminster Harriers) and a poor run of form after winning the title to stop them breaking the goal and points records set by Wrexham and Notts County the previous season. The play-off final ended up being between Bromley and Solihull Moors, a fantastic achievement for both clubs considering neither had ever won promotion to the Football League - in the end, the final came down to penalties for the second year in a row, with Bromley coming out on top, securing Ravens manager Andy Woodman his first managerial promotion and ensuring a second success in two years at Wembley for the Greater London club, having won the FA Trophy final in 2022 against Wrexham.

Despite finishing sixth in the table, a remarkable achievement considering the departure of their manager only a few months into the season, Gateshead were excluded from the play-offs due to ground ownership issues, the first time any team had been excluded from the fifth tier's promotion processes since Stevenage were denied automatic promotion for similar reasons in 1996. Southend United endured a turbulent season on and off the pitch, facing the threat of liquidation in the early months of the season before finally gaining new ownership - on the pitch, their campaign would have seen them qualify for the play-offs if not for a ten-point deduction imposed for financial irregularities. Hartlepool United and Rochdale, both relegated from the Football League the previous season, ultimately endured disappointing seasons; whilst both finished in the top half of the table, neither looked like coming close to securing an immediate return to League Two, the latter facing financial uncertainty off the pitch on top of poor league results.

Oxford City's first-ever season at this level resulted in immediate relegation, largely in part due to a poor second half of the season that saw them fall to the bottom of the table. Dorking Wanderers were relegated after two seasons, also being let down by underwhelming form in the New Year as a failure to get any wins from their final eleven fixtures proved fatal. Kidderminster Harriers' first season at this level in eight years proved to be disappointing, a terrible first half of the season ultimately proving too much to overcome, though the team did surprise by finishing with less goals conceded than Chesterfield. Boreham Wood occupied the final relegation spot, bringing an end to nine years at this level, and going down with the highest-ever points total for a side relegated from the fifth tier just one season after narrowly missing out on the play-off final.
