Brentford won the division championship and secured promotion to the second tier of English football for the first time in the club's history.

Brentford manager Harry Curtis made a number of signings in the 1932 off-season, but none would prove more crucial to the club's future success than the acquisition of forwards Jack Holliday, Billy Scott and half back Herbert Watson from First Division Middlesbrough for a combined £1,500 fee in May 1932.

[1] The majority of the money was raised from the sale of record goalscorer Billy Lane to Watford earlier that month.

[4][7] Manager Curtis signed a new three-year contract in January 1933 and forward Jack Holliday was in prolific scoring form, hitting 26 goals in his first 20 appearances of the season, including four hat-tricks.

[4] Aside from a minor blip in mid-March through to early-April, the Bees held onto top spot and clinched the Third Division South championship after a 2–1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion on 26 April 1933,[4] with nearest rivals Exeter City five points behind with only two matches to play.
