Birmingham City's last Premier League season was 2010/11. They finished 18th out of 20 clubs with 39 points and were relegated.
Most recent season and current status
That 2010/11 campaign remains Birmingham City's most recent Premier League appearance. They spent the 15 seasons from 2011/12 to 2025/26 outside the division, and they are not one of the 20 clubs in the 2026/27 Premier League season either.
The timeline matters here. Birmingham returned for 2009/10, stayed for one more season, and then went down at the end of 2010/11, which is why that season is the last one on their Premier League record.
Birmingham City's Premier League spells
The club's time in the Premier League came in three separate spells, and each spell ended with relegation.
| Spell | Seasons | How it ended |
|---|---|---|
| First spell | 2002/03–2005/06 | Relegated (18th, 34 points) |
| Second spell | 2007/08 | Relegated (19th, 35 points) |
| Third spell | 2009/10–2010/11 | Relegated (18th, 39 points) |
Birmingham City's first Premier League season was 2002/03. They were promoted on three occasions and relegated on three occasions, matching the three separate stays shown above.
Seen as a whole, their Premier League history was a series of returns rather than one long run, and each return ended in relegation.

Those totals cover all 7 of Birmingham City's Premier League seasons from 2002/03 to 2010/11. They have never won the Premier League, their best finish was 9th in 2009/10, and their lowest finish was 19th in 2007/08.
The goal difference across that span was -87. An all-time rank of 35th places them among clubs with a real Premier League presence, even though every spell ended in relegation.
