Summary of Blackburn Rovers’ League Positions & Performance (2013–2025)
Across the past 12 years, Blackburn Rovers have experienced a turbulent but often competitive journey through the EFL. The period begins with the club stabilising in the Championship following their Premier League relegation in 2012, but includes both a significant setback and a strong recovery.
Early Championship Consistency (2013–2016)
From 2013–14 to 2015–16, Blackburn consistently recorded mid-table finishes in the Championship (8th, 9th, and 15th). During this period, they were competitive but unable to secure a place in the playoff positions. The team often showed promise but lacked the sustained run of form needed to challenge for promotion.
Blackburn’s Relegation Setback (2016–17)
The 2016–17 season marked a low point. Despite achieving 51 points—usually enough to survive—Blackburn finished 22nd and were relegated to League One on goal difference. It was a deeply frustrating season where performances were often better than results suggested, but inconsistency proved costly.
Immediate Revival in League One (2017–18)
Blackburn responded strongly in League One, finishing 2nd and earning automatic promotion straight back to the Championship at the first attempt. This season is widely viewed as a key turning point in restoring stability, with a strong squad and a clear identity emerging.
Return to Championship Stability (2018–2022)
Back in the Championship, the club again settled into mid-table territory. Finishes of 15th, 11th, and another 15th showed a solid but unspectacular period.
By 2021–22, the team pushed much closer to the play-offs, achieving 8th place and briefly looking like promotion contenders before fading late in the season.
Play-off Contention and a Slip (2022–2024)
The 2022–23 campaign saw Blackburn finish 7th—their highest finish since relegation—narrowly missing the play-offs on goal difference.
However, the 2023–24 season was a step backwards, with the club finishing 19th after a difficult season marked by defensive issues and managerial changes. They survived, but were closer to relegation than they had desired.
Strong Response (2024–25)
The club rebounded the following year, finishing 7th again and re-establishing itself as a competitive Championship side. This placed them just outside the top six and back in the conversation for future promotion challenges.
Overall Performance Trend of Blackburn Rovers
Mostly stable in the Championship, with finishes generally ranging from 7th to 15th, apart from the relegation year and the 2023–24 slump.
One relegation (2017) followed by an immediate promotion (2018), showing resilience.
Two serious play-off pushes (2022–23 and 2024–25) suggest the club has periodically been capable of challenging near the top.
Only one notably poor season (2023–24), showing the team’s generally strong ability to stay competitive.
