Since the first Premier League season there have been 73 relegated teams (4 went down in 1994/5). Here's a list of the number of seasons it took teams to get back to the top flight:

How many of the teams relegated from the Premier League made it down to League 1?

How many of the teams relegated from the Premier League made it down to League 1?

I make it, of 73 relegations, 22 teams ended up in League 1. That means more teams eventually ended up in League 1 than went straight back up.

Of those 22 teams, 4 are currently in the Premier League (Man City, Watford, Leicester and Southampton) and 8 are in the Championship (Barnsley, Bolton, Leeds, Norwich, Forest, QPR and both Sheffield clubs). 9 are currently in League 1 (Blackpool, Blackburn, Bradford, Charlton, Oldham, Portsmouth, Swindon, MK Dons (as Wimbledon) and Wigan), with long-time first tier side Coventry in the bottom division.

In total, 38 teams have been relegated from the top division. 14 of those have never returned to the Premier League (us, Villa, Barnsley, Blackpool, Bradford, Coventry, Fulham, Leeds, Oldham, Portsmouth, Sheff Wed, Swindon, Wigan and MK Dons (Wimbledon). Southampton are the only side to have been relegated from the PL on only one occasion and return.
