This document lists all clubs which have appeared in the Football League and FA Premier League and shows the periods they have spent in each division. The 1999-2000 Play-off Finals are still outstanding, clubs which are still involved are marked with an asterisk (*).

The divisions are designated using Roman numerals as follows

For each club the club name is followed by the date the club joined the league or the period(s) of membership of the League and any previous names of the club during league membership (these are cross-referenced in the text). This is followed by the list of divisions the club has played in and the period(s) spent in each division. To the right of the division number is shown the total number of seasons spent in the division with the longest consecutive period given in square brackets. The total number of seasons spent in the League is given to the left of the highest division played in. Membership of a regionalised division is shown by 'n' or 's' appended to the period of membership. Dates of transfer from one region to another are also shown.
