List of Bury F.C. seasons

[a] The team first contested an FA Cup match in 1891–92: they beat Witton and Heywood Central before losing to Blackpool after a replay in the third qualifying round.

Three years later, they did not concede a goal in any round as they went on to beat Derby County 6–0, which remains the widest winning margin in an FA Cup final; the ball used in that match is on display at the National Football Museum.

[6][9] They returned to the First Division for a five-season spell in the mid-1920s, and achieved their highest ever finish, of fourth place, in 1925–26.

In 1962–63, they reached the semi-final of the Football League Cup, losing 4–3 on aggregate to eventual winners Birmingham City.

After two seasons they were relegated, and by 2002, financial problems brought the club into administration and to the brink of folding.

The table details the team's achievements in senior first-team competitions and records the top scorer in league matches for each season since they first entered the FA Cup in 1887–88.
