Yes. Sheffield Wednesday played 8 Premier League seasons, from 1992/93 to 1999/00, and they are not in the 2026/27 competition.
When Sheffield Wednesday were in the Premier League
Sheffield Wednesday were part of the first Premier League season and stood among the 22 founding clubs. Their entire Premier League stay came in one uninterrupted spell, which ended with relegation.
| Spell | Seasons | How it ended |
|---|---|---|
| Only Premier League spell | 1992/93–1999/00 | Relegated (19th, 31 points) |
That places the club clearly in Premier League history from the league's opening campaign. Since leaving after 1999/00, Sheffield Wednesday have spent 26 seasons outside the Premier League, and they are also absent from the 2026/27 list of 20 clubs.
Their overall Premier League record
The official all-time record shows the shape of Sheffield Wednesday's full Premier League run.
| Played | Won | Drawn | Lost | Goals for | Goals against | Points | All-time rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 316 | 101 | 89 | 126 | 409 | 453 | 392 | 28th |
Those totals show a substantial spell rather than a short stay. Their goal difference across that period was -44, which fits a club that had strong seasons at times but did not keep enough consistency to remain in the division for the long term.
Best finish and final outcome
Sheffield Wednesday have never won the Premier League. Their best finish was 7th, achieved in 1992/93, 1993/94 and 1996/97.
Their lowest Premier League finish was 19th in 1999/00, which was also their most recent season in the competition. That campaign ended with the club's only Premier League relegation, closing their top-flight stay in the modern league era.
