Ipswich were part of the league from the very start, which gives them a place in Premier League history beyond their total number of seasons. Their record includes both a strong peak and a clear low point, rather than one steady run.
Before the Premier League era, the club did win the old First Division title in 1961/62. That sits in the earlier top-flight record rather than the Premier League one.
Ipswich Town's Premier League spells
The next table shows how each top-flight spell opened or came to a close.
| Spell | Seasons | How it ended |
|---|---|---|
| First spell | 1992/93–1994/95 | Relegated |
| Second spell | 2000/01–2001/02 | Relegated |
| Third spell | 2024/25 | Relegated |

The latest return follows a short absence, so the club are back in the competition quickly after their last relegation.
