Wolverhampton Wanderers were founded in 1877, with Wolverhampton their home city. Their pre-Premier League honours include 3 First Division titles and 4 FA Cups. The stored earlier record also includes a League Cup win. Detailed league coverage in this archive starts at 1992/93, before Wolves' first Premier League appearance.
Molineux Stadium was home throughout the club's seasons here. A play-off victory preceded the first Premier League campaign, which ended at the bottom of the table. Relegation ended that opening spell.
A later Championship title preceded a longer return. Wolves finished 15th in the opening season, then slipped closer to the relegation places despite taking more points. The next campaign brought relegation, with the league's bottom placing and the club's most negative goal difference here.
A League One title came during the later absence. Nuno Espírito Santo's appointment then preceded another Championship win and Premier League return.
Wolves finished the return season in 7th place, their best league placing in the archive. That position was repeated the next year, with a higher points return and larger positive goal difference. Their total of 59 points remains the best season return here. An unbeaten autumn sequence during that campaign extended across 11 league matches.
The best points campaign also produced Wolves' largest positive goal difference among the completed seasons held here, rather than merely repeating the balance from the previous season. Nuno's final campaign ended lower before Bruno Lage's first season returned the club to the top half. Later seasons moved down the table, with Julen Lopetegui followed by Gary O'Neil during that period.
Vítor Pereira's stored tenure included the next season, which ended in 16th. A winless run began near its end and continued into December, spanning 23 league matches. Rob Edwards took charge during the subsequent relegation campaign. Wolves finished bottom in 2025/26, the latest completed season held here.
