Yes. Blackpool have played in the Premier League once, in 2010/11, and they are not in the 2026/27 competition.
One Premier League stay, and only one
Blackpool's first Premier League season was 2010/11, and it remains their only one. They went up for that campaign and went down at the end of it, so the club's entire Premier League history sits inside a single season.
After that, Blackpool spent 15 seasons outside the Premier League from 2011/12 to 2025/26. They are also absent from the 2026/27 list of 20 clubs.
Blackpool's Premier League spell
This table shows the full shape of Blackpool's only top-flight Premier League spell.
| Spell | Seasons | How it ended |
|---|---|---|
| 2010/11 | 1 | Relegated (19th, 39 points) |
The key point is simple: there was no second season to build on the first. Because Blackpool have had only this single spell, their best Premier League finish and lowest Premier League finish are the same placing.
What that lone season produced
The 2010/11 campaign is both Blackpool's most recent Premier League season and their complete Premier League record in seasonal terms. The final placing left them in the relegation places, which ended their stay straight away.
Blackpool have never won the Premier League. In fact, their best finish in the competition is that same 19th-place result from 2010/11.

Because Blackpool's Premier League run lasted for a single season, these all-time totals are also the totals for that one campaign. Their all-time goal difference is -23, and they sit 48th in the competition's all-time table.
