The All-Time Premier League Table

Few have been able to slow the juggernaut that is Manchester City in the last decade, and they have dominated the Premier League to such an extent that few would question their status as one of the best to ever do it in the English top flight. But in terms of all-time Premier League success, they are some way behind the leaders in the all-time points table.

Transfermarkt have been through the history books and assembled a table of all 51 clubs who have played Premier League football. And while City’s recent superiority has seen them catch up to the big boys in the division, they have a long way to go before they claim top spot in this table.

Premier League All-Time Table: 51-41

Luton Town bottom with just 26 points

After only a single season, it’s Luton Town who pick up the wooden spoon in the all-time table, amassing just 26 points in their only term in the top flight. The Hatters gave it their best shot at avoiding relegation, but finished six points adrift of safety in 2023/24. It may be a while until they’re rubbing shoulders with the best in English football, however, after facing back-to-back relegations. They are four points behind 50th-placed Swindon Town, who also only had one campaign of top flight football, although they had an extra four games back in 1993/94.

Every Premier League Club Graded From A to F This Season

The 2023-24 Premier League season is over and GIVEMESPORT has graded the 20 teams on their performance.

Only one team in the bottom 11 positions remain in the Premier League today, as Brentford continue their lengthy stay in England’s top division. Thomas Frank’s side have bumped up to 41st in the table after a 10th-placed display in 2024/25. They will almost certainly break into the top 40 next campaign.

Premier League All-Time Table: 40-31

Burnley hoping to rise up rankings in 2024/25

Sheffield United’s inability to secure promotion season means that they will likely drop down a position when all is said and done by the end of the following term. Ipswich Town, on the back of an incredible season in the 2023/24 Championship campaign, were back in the Premier League for the first time since 2002. They are now ahead of the Blades by 21 points but they continue to trail Derby County, who boast a tally of 274 points in the overall standings.

Despite them being responsible for the worst season in Premier League history, the aforementioned Derby’s record ensures that they remain 38th in the all-time table, while many teams continue to trail Birmingham City, who are beginning to climb up the pyramid. It’s now been 14 years since the Blues played Premier League football, but their latest boosts means it could be a short time until the Midlands club return to English football’s highest division.

Premier League All-Time Table: 30-21

Brighton and Wolves crack top 30

Heading into the top 30, there are only two clubs in this next batch of 10 who are currently in the Premier League. Wolves have cemented their status as a mid-table club in recent years, while their extensive history in the league ensures that they rise to 21st in the all-time table after 2024/25. Had this factored in the old Division One standings too, then the Old Gold would have been as high as 12th after their dominance in the 1950s saw them crowned champions on three occasions.

Multiple Liverpool stars have now won their second Premier League title.

The most impressive team here, however, is Wimbledon. Despite the club ceasing to exist in its old guise in 2004, they remain 26th in the all-time standings with an impressive 374 points. Home to Premier League hardman Vinnie Jones, the team from Plough Lane recorded a sixth-place finish in the 1993/94 season – their highest in the modern English top flight. Brighton, under Fabian Hurzeler, are quickly climbing up this list after notching a 61-point season last time out.

Premier League All-Time Table: 20-11

Southampton the first team to surpass the 1,000 point mark

Iconic teams from Premier League years gone by all make their way into the top 20, although West Brom are only 55 points ahead of Wolves and could lose their spot unless they get promoted in the coming years. League One Bolton Wanderers, having not played top flight football since the 2011/12 season, are firmly entrenched in 19th and are the first team to break the 500-point barrier. The famous years of Sam Allardyce and top-half finishes are a distant memory nowadays for Wanderers fans, though.

Blackburn remain 12th in the all-time table, with their Premier League success in 1994/95 forming 89 points of their impressive 970 total. Their status as a title contender in the early 90s saw them claim 305 points during the first four seasons of the league’s inception, but their dominance diminished over time. They haven’t played in the top division since their relegation in 2012.

Crystal Palace, Fulham and Leicester City will all be hoping to add to their Premier League points tallies when the 2025/26 season kicks off. But Southampton, whose side from 2024/25 are widely regarded as one of the worst teams in Premier League history, will have to wait a bit longer to add to their overall tally after being demoted to England’s second tier.

Premier League All-Time Table: 10-1

Man City still 6th despite recent dominance

The top 10, though, is full to the brim of established Premier League sides who have consistently played in England’s top tier since 1992. All clubs have played over 1,000 games, with the top five all playing the maximum number.

West Ham, Aston Villa and Newcastle, having yo-yo’d between the Premier League and Championship at different points in years gone by, take up positions between tenth and eighth, although all three have still amassed impressive points totals thanks to their extensive years as Premier League powerhouses. Given the trajectories of Villa and Newcastle, you would imagine that both teams will continue to add to their tallies at an impressive rate.

Everton, having never been relegated from the Premier League, sit way behind Man City, despite playing nearly 200 games more. The Cityzens’ suffered two relegations in 1995/96 and in 2000/01. The club’s takeover, however, has seen their fortunes transform, and if they can continue their recent dominance for the next decade, then it is only a matter of time until they break into the top five.

Five-time champions Chelsea just trail Liverpool by 28 points in the all-time table, as the Reds’ superior win record is enough for them to claim a bronze medal, despite only lifting two Premier League titles. Were it not for Guardiola, though, the Anfield club would certainly have a more impressive trophy haul during Jurgen Klopp’s tenure in the dugout.

Arsenal’s impressive years under Arsene Wenger, which saw them lift three league titles and consistently qualify for Champions League football, means that they finish second in the overall rankings. But Manchester United are in a league of their own. Only a few clubs, including the Gunners, were able to challenge the incredible teams that Sir Alex Ferguson created over the years. Be it the seasons of Roy Keane and Eric Cantona, or the later dominance of Rooney and Ronaldo, the Old Trafford machine was rarely unseated during the 90s and 2000s. While they might not be the same force now as they were back then, their history in the league speaks for itself when you look at the all-time rankings.
