The 2026/27 Premier League season is set to kick off on 21 August, and early betting odds suggest a challenging campaign for the three promoted clubs. Hull City, Coventry City, and Ipswich Town are currently positioned by bookmakers as the favourites to face relegation.
Hull City is considered the most likely to drop, with some betting sites pricing them as low as 1/4 for relegation. Coventry City and Ipswich Town are both generally priced around 4/6. This follows a trend where all three promoted teams were relegated in the two seasons prior to 2025/26.
Beyond the promoted sides, teams that struggled last season, such as Leeds United and Nottingham Forest, are also expected to be involved in the relegation battle. Sunderland, who secured European football last season by finishing seventh, is also an interesting option at 3/1 for relegation, with questions raised about their squad's ability to handle both European and domestic campaigns.
