Yes. Blackburn Rovers won the Premier League once, in 1994/95. They are not part of the 2026/27 Premier League, and their most recent season in it was 2011/12.
The title win is part of Premier League history
Blackburn Rovers are one of the clubs to have won the Premier League, and they did it once. That places them in a small group of champions across the competition's history.
| Item | Result |
|---|---|
| Title-winning season | 1994/95 |
| Blackburn points | 89 |
| Manchester United points | 88 |
| Winning margin | 1 point |
| Total Premier League champion clubs | 7 |
The key part is how narrow the finish was: Blackburn edged Manchester United at the top. In historical terms, that single title still keeps Blackburn on the short list of Premier League champions.
Two separate spells in the league
Blackburn's time in the Premier League came in two distinct spells.
| Spell | Season range | Seasons | How it ended |
|---|---|---|---|
| First Premier League spell | 1992/93–1998/99 | 7 | Relegated (19th, 35 points) |
| Second Premier League spell | 2001/02–2011/12 | 11 | Relegated (19th, 31 points) |
They were also one of the founding clubs in the first Premier League season. A return to the division later on split the club's top-flight record into two blocks, and each block ended in the same way.
The overall Premier League record
Across all their Premier League seasons, Blackburn built a substantial record rather than a short top-flight stay.
| Played | Won | Drawn | Lost | Goals for | Goals against | Points | All-time rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 696 | 262 | 184 | 250 | 927 | 907 | 970 | 12th |
Blackburn finished with a +20 goal difference. That all-time placing shows they were part of the league for long enough to leave a significant historical footprint.
Why Blackburn are not in the Premier League now
The latest Premier League season Blackburn played was 2011/12. In that campaign they finished 19th out of 20 clubs with 31 points and were relegated.
From 2012/13 through 2025/26, Blackburn spent 14 straight seasons outside the Premier League. They are also not among the 20 clubs in the 2026/27 season, so they are not part of the league now.
Blackburn have been relegated from the Premier League 2 times, at the end of 1998/99 and 2011/12. Their lowest Premier League finish was 19th, reached in both of those seasons.
