List of Premier League clubs

 

The following is a list of clubs who have played in the Premier League at any time since its formation in 1992 to the current season. Premier League teams playing in the 2012–13 Premier League season are indicated in bold. Founding members of the Premier League are shown in italics. If the longest spell is the current spell, this is indicated in bold, and if the highest finish is that of the most recent season, this is also in bold.
A total of 45 teams have played in the Premier League. Preston North End and Huddersfield Town are the only former top-flight First Division champions that have never played in the Premier League, and are among a total of 19 clubs who have played in the old First Division but not in the Premier League.
All statistics here refer to time in the Premier League only, with the exception of 'Most recent finish' which refers to all levels of play, and 'Last promotion' which refers to the club's last promotion from the second tier of English football.
