EPL Relegation Odds 2026/27: Who Will Go Down This Season?

Q: Do promoted teams always get relegated from the Premier League?

Not always, but recent seasons have been harsh on promoted sides, with all three going straight back down on multiple occasions. The market prices them short, but at least one often survives.

Hull City, Coventry and Ipswich are the early relegation favourites for 2026/27, but the drop is rarely that simple. Here's my full guide to the EPL relegation odds — who the bookmakers fear for, the mid-table sides at risk, and where the value lies.

Every Premier League season, the relegation battle is where some of the best value in football betting hides — and for 2026/27 the bookmakers have already installed the three promoted clubs as the sides most likely to go down. But the drop is rarely that simple. Here’s my full guide to the EPL relegation odds: who the market fears for, the established clubs quietly at risk, and how to approach the “to be relegated” market before the ~mid-August kick-off.

Who will be relegated? Club by club

The promoted trio — Hull City, Coventry & Ipswich

The bookmakers have all three newly-promoted clubs as short-priced relegation picks, and history backs them up: in recent seasons the promoted sides have found the step up brutal, with all three going straight back down more than once. Hull City are rated the likeliest to struggle, with Coventry and Ipswich not far behind. Recruitment will decide whether any of them can buck the trend.

Sunderland & Leeds — next in line

Just above the promoted trio, Sunderland and Leeds United are the market’s next concern. Both have spent to try to establish themselves, but the bookmakers still see them in the bottom-six conversation until they prove otherwise.

The established clubs to watch — Palace, Fulham, Forest

This is where the value often lives. Crystal Palace, Fulham and Nottingham Forest are all priced as “safe” relative to the promoted sides, but any of them could be dragged in by a poor start or a key injury — exactly the kind of mid-table club the relegation market re-rates fastest once the season is under way. Brentford, Everton and Bournemouth sit in the same watch bracket.

How to bet the EPL relegation market

“To be relegated” vs “to stay up”: most books price both. If you think a short-priced favourite will survive, the “to stay up” market can be the smarter play than trying to call all three who go down.

Don’t assume all three promoted clubs go down: it happens often, but not always — and when one survives, the club that replaces it in the bottom three is usually a mid-table side the market underrated pre-season. That’s where value hides.

Wait for the early form, or back your read now: relegation prices are long pre-season and shorten fast after a bad opening month. Keep an eye on our transfer tracker for late business that changes a club’s outlook.
