List of association football clubs with multiple consecutive promotions or relegations

This is a list of association football clubs with multiple consecutive promotions or relegations.

For an association football club to achieve three consecutive promotions is somewhat rare, to achieve subsequent further promotions even rarer. Many football league systems are organised in a pyramid system, allowing league champions and, in many cases, clubs placed immediately behind the champions to achieve promotion, either directly or through a play-off system. To achieve three or more promotions all as league champions, like the now defunct Gretna did from 2004 to 2007, or Chester did from 2010 to 2013 is exceptional.

It is comparably easier for a club to suffer three consecutive relegations, as no particular effort is required. In professional football and, to a lesser extent, in semi-professional and amateur football, this is often caused by financial trouble.

A club that achieves promotion, followed by immediate relegation, and a subsequent repeat of this cycle is often described as a Yo-yo club.

Note:


 * Dissolved and reformed clubs, and clubs relegated due to financial irregularities are not included in this list.
