Top 15 clubs with most promotions in Premier League era

The league came into existence on 20 February 1992 after clubs in the First Division chose to separate from the Football League. The objective was to establish a more commercially focused top tier, boost broadcasting income, and modernise the sport.

The first season began on 15 August 1992, featuring 22 clubs in the newly created format. This took over from the old First Division as the top level of English football.

Over time, several English clubs have gained a reputation for frequently moving between the Premier League and the Championship, with repeated promotions demonstrating both their resilience and the highly competitive nature of the league system.

Since the Premier League started in 1992, a handful of clubs have achieved the most promotions, often returning swiftly after relegation.
