Premier League Table Predictor 2026/27

How the Premier League Table Predictor Works

This tool lets you predict where all 20 clubs will finish in the 2026/27 Premier League. The list starts in last season's finishing order, with the three promoted clubs — Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City — placed at the bottom. Drag any club up or down (or use the arrow buttons on mobile) until the table matches your prediction. The coloured left edge shows the stakes at each position: the top four qualify for the Champions League, fifth place goes to the Europa League, sixth to the Conference League play-off, and the bottom three are relegated to the Championship.

Your predicted table is saved automatically in your browser, so you can close the page and come back to tweak it. Once the season kicks off on 21 August 2026, the panel under the table wakes up: it pulls the real Premier League standings and scores your prediction — how many clubs you placed in the exact right spot, how many within one place, and your average error across the table. Come back after each matchweek to watch your accuracy climb (or your title pick collapse).

Why predict the table before the season?

Predicting the final table is a decades-old ritual for Premier League fans — every August, pundits, podcasts and group chats lock in their order. It is also the fairest way to run a season-long prediction contest with friends: everyone submits a table on day one, and you settle up in May. This predictor gives you a clean, shareable table plus automatic scoring so nobody has to tally it by hand.

The 2026/27 Premier League: Who's In

The 2026/27 Premier League features the 17 clubs that stayed up from 2025/26 plus three promoted sides. West Ham United, Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers went down; Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City came up from the Championship. That gives the familiar "big six" of Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham, plus in-form challengers like Aston Villa, Newcastle and Brighton, and a fresh relegation scrap involving the promoted trio.

How the Champions League and relegation places work

England's top four finishers qualify directly for the UEFA Champions League league phase. In seasons where English clubs perform strongly in Europe, the country can earn a fifth Champions League place through UEFA's coefficient ranking — so a strong European year can bump fifth place up into the Champions League too. Fifth place otherwise enters the Europa League, and sixth typically takes a Conference League play-off spot (this can shift depending on who wins the domestic cups). The bottom three clubs — 18th, 19th and 20th — are relegated to the EFL Championship.

Tips for a Sharper Prediction

Weigh summer transfer business heavily — a marquee signing or a key sale can move a mid-table side four or five places. Promoted clubs historically struggle: on average, at least one of the three goes straight back down, so be realistic about Coventry, Ipswich and Hull. Look at fixtures, European commitments (clubs in the Champions League juggle a heavier schedule), and managerial changes over the summer. And remember the table is decided on points, then goal difference — the tightest mid-table battles often come down to a single win.
