Stoke City were last in the Premier League in 2017/18. They finished 19th out of 20 clubs with 33 points and were relegated at the end of that season.
The last Premier League season
That season remains the club's most recent appearance in the competition. After 2017/18, Stoke City spent 8 seasons from 2018/19 to 2025/26 outside the Premier League, and they are also not one of the 20 clubs in the 2026/27 season.
So the answer is clear: their latest Premier League campaign was also the end of their only Premier League spell. It finished with relegation.
