Twenty teams will compete in the league – the top seventeen teams from the previous season, and three teams promoted from the EFL Championship.

Teams promoted to the Premier League

The first club to be promoted was Wolverhampton Wanderers, following Fulham's 1–1 draw against Brentford on 14 April 2018. Wolves will play in the Premier League for the first time since the 2011–12 season. They were also promoted as 2017–18 EFL Championship winners, after clinching the title on 21 April 2018 following a 4–0 victory against Bolton Wanderers.[2][3]

The second club to be promoted was Cardiff City after drawing 0–0 against Reading on 5 May 2018, the last day of the regular season, with promotion rivals Fulham losing 3–1 against Birmingham City. Cardiff will enter their second spell in the league, their only previous appearance being in the 2013–14 season.[4][5]

The third and final club to be promoted was Fulham, following their 1–0 victory against Aston Villa on 26 May 2018 in the 2018 EFL Championship play-off Final at Wembley Stadium. Fulham return to the Premier League for the first time since the 2013–14 season.[6]

Teams relegated to the EFL Championship

The first club to be relegated was Stoke City, who were relegated on 5 May 2018 following a 2–1 defeat against Crystal Palace, ending their 10-year stay in the top flight. This was also the club's first relegation from the Premier League.[7]

The second club to be relegated was West Bromwich Albion, who were relegated on 8 May 2018 following Southampton's 1–0 victory against Swansea City, ending their 8-year stay in the top flight.[8][9]

The third and final club to be relegated was Swansea City, who were relegated on 13 May 2018 following a 2–1 defeat against already relegated Stoke City, ending their 7-year stay in the top flight by failing to win and perform a 10 goal swing over 17th-placed Southampton. This was also the club's first relegation from the Premier League.[10]
