Wolverhampton Wanderers have officially become the first team relegated from the English Premier League.
On 21 Apr 2026 GMT+7, the first team to be relegated, the "Wolves" Wolverhampton Wanderers, were officially confirmed to drop from the English Premier League, the world's top competition, down to the English Championship for the next season, despite not having played a match the previous night.
This outcome was due to the result between the "Eagles," Crystal Palace, who played at home and drew 0-0 with the "Hammers," West Ham United. The home side increased their points to 43 from 32 matches, sitting 13th in the standings, while West Ham United had 33 points from 33 matches.
Because West Ham United drew and earned a point in this game, Wolverhampton Wanderers were officially confirmed as the first team relegated from the Premier League, as they can no longer catch up in points with only five games remaining in the 2025-26 season.
