As of the 2006–07 season, former Premier League members will be in all three divisions of the Football League for the first time following the relegation to League Two of Swindon Town and Milton Keynes Dons (formerly Wimbledon). At the end of the 2006–07 season, Bradford City were relegated to League Two.

Crystal Palace have had four separate spells in the Premier League, with each never lasting more than one season. The club was relegated at the end of the 1992–93 season (the first of the Premier League). In 1993–94 they won the First Division Championship and played in the PL in 1994–95, when they were unlucky to finish fourth from bottom in the one season when the PL had four relegation places. In 1997–98, the club won the First Division Play-Offs to again return, only to be relegated the following season bottom of the Premier League. Winning the play-offs again in 2003–04, they were again relegated back to the Championship the following season.

Both Luton Town and Notts County took part in the original negotiations in 1991 that led to the formation of the Premier League, and both resigned their membership of the Football League along with the other 20 clubs in the top flight during the 1991–92 season. However, both clubs were relegated that season and have not returned to the top flight since.
