1999–2000 FA Premier League

Only one newly promoted team suffered relegation: Watford, who finished in last place, and achieved a record Premiership low of just 24 points (a record since broken by Sunderland (twice), Derby County, Aston Villa, Huddersfield Town, Norwich City (twice), Sheffield United (twice), and themselves), despite a decent start to their campaign which saw them beat both Liverpool (at Anfield) and Chelsea.

The most successful promoted team was Sunderland, who finished seventh in the final table and spent much of the season pushing for a place in European competition.

Bradford City, back in the top division for the first time since 1922, secured their Premiership survival on the last day of the season with a 1–0 win over Liverpool.

Promoted to the Premiership for 2000–01 were First Division champions Charlton Athletic, runners-up Manchester City and playoff winners Ipswich Town.

Charlton Athletic and Nottingham Forest were immediately relegated after a season's presence, while Blackburn Rovers' seven-year top flight spell came to an end.

Sunderland's Kevin Phillips was the top scorer, with 30 goals.
The 1999–2000 Premier League season would see Everton's Nick Barmby score his one and only hat-trick during his professional career.
Manchester United's David Beckham was the joint top assist provider with 15 assists for the club in the 1999–2000 Premier League season.
Alex Ferguson was Manager of the Month three times during the 1999–2000 Premier League season, and was later named Manager of the Season.
