Norwich City’s history in the Premier League
The club was one of the 22 founding members of the Premier League in 1992, surprising with a third-place finish in its very first season.

It wasn’t until 2004/05 that Norwich were back in the Premier League for a short visit, but were immediately relegated again after 19th place. Since then, and up to and including the 2021/22 season, the club has alternated between playing in the Championship and Premier League, with ten seasons in the Championship and six in the top division.
Famous players
