Relegation Picture Taking Shape as Season Nears End
The 2025/26 Premier League season is approaching its conclusion, and the relegation battle is reaching a dramatic climax.
Two clubs have already had their fate sealed, while the fight to avoid the final drop spot remains wide open heading into the last few matchdays.
Confirmed Relegated Teams
- Burnley
- Wolverhampton Wanderers
Both sides have been mathematically relegated and will compete in the Championship next season after difficult campaigns.
Battle for the Final Relegation Spot
The fight to avoid finishing 18th is still ongoing, with several clubs in danger:
- Tottenham Hotspur — Currently in the relegation zone and most at risk
- West Ham United — Just above the drop, but under pressure
- Nottingham Forest — Slim chance of being dragged into trouble
Tottenham’s slide into the bottom three has been one of the biggest shocks of the season, and they now face a tense battle to preserve their Premier League status.
Current Relegation Table (Bottom Teams)
- 15th: Newcastle United — 42 pts
- 16th: Nottingham Forest — 39 pts
- 17th: West Ham — 36 pts
- 18th: Tottenham — 34 pts
- 19th: Burnley — 20 pts (relegated)
- 20th: Wolves — 17 pts (relegated)
With only a few matches remaining, the margin for error is extremely small.
Survival Chances and Key Factors
Tottenham are currently considered the most likely to be relegated among the remaining teams, but West Ham still have a significant chance of dropping if results go against them.
Nottingham Forest appear relatively safer but are not completely out of danger.
What Happens Next?
The final relegation spot is expected to be decided on the last day of the season, with goal difference and head-to-head results potentially playing a crucial role.
For clubs involved, survival means financial stability and continued top-flight football — while relegation brings major consequences both on and off the pitch.
As the season reaches its climax, all eyes will be on the bottom of the table where the tension is just as intense as the title race.
