The '''2000–01 FA Premier League''' (known as the '''FA [[Carling brewery|Carling]] Premiership''' for sponsorship reasons) was the ninth [[Premier League|FA Premier League]] season and the third season running which ended with [[Manchester United F.C.|Manchester United]] as champions and [[Arsenal F.C.|Arsenal]] as runners-up. [[Alex Ferguson|Sir Alex Ferguson]] became the first manager to win three successive English league titles with the same club. Liverpool, meanwhile, managed a unique cup treble – winning the [[FA Cup]], [[Football League Cup|League Cup]] and [[UEFA Cup]]. They also finished third in the Premier League and qualified for the [[UEFA Champions League|Champions League]]. [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] replaced [[Mitre Sports International|Mitre]] as manufacturer of the official Premier League match ball, a contract that has since been extended multiple times, with the most recent renewal made in November 2018 to the end of the 2024–25 season.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.premierleague.com/news/903532|title = Premier League and Nike extend partnership}}</ref>

UEFA Cup places went to [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]], [[Chelsea F.C.|Chelsea]], [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]], and [[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]], who qualified via the [[Intertoto Cup]]. None of the top six clubs in the Premier League had an English manager. The most successful English manager in the 2000–01 Premier League campaign was [[Peter Reid]], whose [[Sunderland A.F.C.|Sunderland]] side finished seventh, having spent most of the season challenging for a place in Europe, and briefly occupied second place in the Premier League table.

Despite the success achieved by Sir Alex Ferguson and [[Gérard Houllier]], the Manager of the Year Award went to [[George Burley]]. The [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]] manager was in charge of a newly promoted side who began the season as relegation favourites and on a limited budget, guided his team to fifth place in the Premier League final table earning a total of 66 points - the highest total in Premier League history for a newly promoted side since the switch to a 20-team format—and a place in the UEFA Cup for the first time in almost 20 years. 2000–01 was perhaps the best season yet for newly promoted teams in the Premier League. [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]] finished ninth, their highest finish since the 1950s. The only newly promoted team to suffer relegation was [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]], who in the space of six seasons had now been relegated three times and promoted twice. Relegated in bottom place were [[Bradford City A.F.C.|Bradford City]], whose return to the top division after almost 80 years was over after just two seasons. The next relegation place went to [[Coventry City F.C.|Coventry City]], who were finally relegated after 34 successive seasons of top division football, which had brought numerous relegation battles and league finishes no higher than sixth place.

==Teams==
Twenty teams competed in the league&nbsp;– the top seventeen teams from the previous season and the three teams promoted from the [[1999–2000 Football League First Division|First Division]]. The promoted teams were [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]], [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] and [[Ipswich Town F.C.|Ipswich Town]], returning after a top flight absence of one, four and five years respectively. They replaced [[Wimbledon F.C.|Wimbledon]], [[Sheffield Wednesday F.C.|Sheffield Wednesday]] and [[Watford F.C.|Watford]]. They were relegated to the [[2000–01 Football League First Division|First Division]] after spending fourteen, nine and one year in the top flight respectively.
