No team in the Premier League has made a worst start to the new 2025/26 than Wolverhampton Wanderers – they are yet to win a game in the league, which is why many are now asking when were Wolves last get relegated?
Bookies Slash Wolves Relegation Odds After Dismal Start To The New Season
At the start of the 2025/26 Premier League season the Wolves relegation odds saw all three promoted sides – Leeds, Burnley and Sunderland – at shorter odds to go down than the Midlands club.
However, after terrible start to the new season the relegation betting market has been shaken up, with the layers now making Wolves the second favourites for the drop.
Only Burnley are a shorter price than Wolves to go down – but only just.
With Sunderland and Leeds now given a better chance of staying up, according to the football betting sites.

The West Ham relegation betting odds have also tumbled after they’ve had a poor start too – with the Hammers now fourth favourites to slide out of the English top-flight for the first time since 2011.
Back to Wolves – and what is worse for them is they’ve not even drawn a game in their opening five in the league – losing them all and are still hunting for that elusive first point.
They’ve also leaked nine goals in these first five matches and losing at home to newly-promoted Leeds has also added to the Molineux misery.
All this has also seen the next Wolves manager betting odds market get a lot of interest – with many feeling current boss Vitor Pereira’s days are numbered.
When Were Wolves Last Relegated From The Premier League?
Wolverhampton Wanderers had threatened to drop out of the Premier League in 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons and this finally happened in their next campaign.
So the last time Wolves were relegated was in the 2011-12 season – when they finished bottom of the Premier League.
That season they only won 25 points and won just five league games – their manager at the time was Mick McCarthy.
How Long Have Wolves Been In The Premier League?
Wolves were crowned Championship winners in 2017-18 and duly won promotion back to the Premier League.
They’ve remained in the Premier League since – meaning the 2025-26 season will be their eighth in the English top-flight.
On returning to the Premier League in 2018-19, they finished 7th with 57 points.

Why Are Wolves In Danger Of Relegation?

Other key players that departed Wolves were Fabio Silva, and Gonçalo Guedes Pablo Sarabia and Craig Dawson on free transfers. Plus, Nélson Semedo who rejected a new contract.
