No. West Bromwich Albion are not one of the 20 clubs in the 2026/27 Premier League, and their most recent Premier League season was 2020/21.
They are not a Premier League club in 2026/27
The current answer is simple. West Brom are outside the Premier League in 2026/27, and they had already spent the 5 seasons from 2021/22 to 2025/26 outside the competition.
That means their absence is not a one-season gap. Their latest Premier League stay ended in 2020/21, and they have not returned since.
