FULL LIST: Top 15 clubs with most promotions in Premier League era

The league was officially formed on 20 February 1992 after clubs in the First Division voted to break away from the Football League. The aim was to create a more commercially driven top division, improve broadcasting revenue, and modernise the game.

The inaugural season kicked off on 15 August 1992, with 22 clubs competing in the new structure. This replaced the old First Division as the highest level of English football.

Several clubs in English football have built reputations as regular travellers between the Premier League and the Championship, with repeated promotions highlighting both their resilience and the competitiveness of the league system.
