List of Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C. seasons



Wolverhampton Wanderers Football Club, commonly known as Wolves F.C., is an English professional football club. The club played its first match in 1877 as St Luke's F.C., after being formed by pupils of a school in Blakenhall, Wolverhampton bearing this name. Two years later they merged with the local cricket and football club The Wanderers to become Wolverhampton Wanderers.

After competing in numerous local league and cup competitions during its formative years, the club became a founder member of The Football League, the first professional league in global association football, in 1888.

The club has won a total of thirteen "major" trophies, including the League Championship three times, the FA Cup four times, the League Cup twice and the FA Charity/Community Shield four times. Wolves have also featured in UEFA competitions during seven seasons; their best performance coming in 1972 when they were runners-up in the inaugural UEFA Cup. They have also had successes in less high-profile cup competitions such as the Texaco Cup and the Football League Trophy (now the EFL Trophy).
