The table below captures the club’s core identifiers at a glance.

What Are Wolverhampton Wanderers FC Standings Today?

Current League Position in the Premier League

• Wolverhampton Wanderers finished the 2024/25 season in 16th place in the Premier League, according to the final table published by Wikipedia (the open encyclopedia).
• They ended seven points clear of relegated 17th‑place Tottenham Hotspur (Wikipedia).
• The club finished one point behind 15th‑place Manchester United, who also recorded 42 points but boasted a superior goal difference (Wikipedia).

Points and Goal Difference This Season

• Wolves ended the campaign with 42 points (12 wins, 6 draws, 20 losses) (Wikipedia).
• They scored 54 goals and conceded 69, yielding a goal difference of −15 (Wikipedia).
• StatMuse independently lists Wolves on 42 Premier League points for 2024/25 (StatMuse (football statistics aggregator)).

The implication: Wolves survived, but the gap to mid‑table is narrow. A single point separated them from 15th place, and only seven points kept them above the relegation zone. Their negative goal difference signals defensive fragility that the manager will need to address.

Are Wolverhampton Wanderers Playing Today?

Upcoming Fixtures

• The 2024/25 season concluded on 25 May 2025 with a home match against Brentford (ESPN (sports news outlet)).
• Pre‑season friendlies and the 2025/26 fixture list will be announced on the club’s official site (Wolverhampton Wanderers).

Recent Match Results

• On 20 April 2025, Wolves won 1‑0 away at Manchester United (ESPN).
• On 26 April 2025, they beat Leicester City 3‑0 (ESPN).
• Late‑March results included draws against Southampton and Everton (ESPN).

The pattern: late‑season form was patchy, but key wins over top‑side opponents kept Wolves clear of danger. Consistency remains elusive.

What Is the History of Wolverhampton Wanderers?

Founding and Early Years

• Club founded in 1877 as St. Luke’s FC, later renamed Wolverhampton Wanderers (Wikipedia).
• Became a founding member of the Football League in 1888 (Wikipedia).
• The 2024/25 season was the club’s 147th season overall (Wikipedia).

Major Trophies and Achievements

• Three English league titles: 1953–54, 1957–58, 1958–59 (Wikipedia).
• Four FA Cup wins, most recently in 1960 (Wikipedia).
• All‑time points ranking 4th in English football, behind only Liverpool, Arsenal, and Everton (Wikipedia).

The trade‑off: Wolves boast a deep historical pedigree, but the modern Premier League era has been less generous – only one top‑half finish since promotion in 2018.

Who Is the Manager of Wolverhampton Wanderers?

Current Manager Profile

• Vítor Pereira was in charge for the 2024/25 season (Wolverhampton Wanderers (official club site)).
• He took over a team that had started the campaign under Gary O’Neil (YouTube (club coverage)).

Recent Managerial Changes

• Gary O’Neil opened the 2024/25 league campaign before being replaced mid‑season (YouTube).
• Managerial turnover can destabilise form – Wolves’ final position of 16th reflects a season of adjustment (The Swiss Ramble (independent football finance analysis)).

Why this matters: a stable managerial appointment for the next campaign could be the difference between consolidation and another relegation fight.

What Is Wolves’ Best Season in the Premier League?

Highest Premier League Finish

• Wolves’ best Premier League finish is 7th, achieved in 2019‑20 and repeated in 2020‑21 (Wikipedia).

Points Record in Premier League Era

• Their highest points total in a Premier League season is 59 (2019‑20) (Wikipedia).
• By contrast, the 42 points in 2024/25 is 17 fewer – a gap that highlights how far the club has slipped since its peak under Nuno Espírito Santo (The Athletic (sports journalism outlet)).

The catch: the 42‑point tally kept Wolves up, but it’s a far cry from the heights of 2019‑20. Rebuilding that form will take more than one summer.
