Bromley

2025/26: 1st in League Two, promoted · 2026/27: League One

How high can Bromley realistically go?

Based on finishing 1st in League Two in 2025/26 and going up

About 5 in 10

Of the 67 times a club was promoted from League Two between 2004/05 and 2020/21, 36 stayed up for all of the next five seasons.

36 of 67 (54%); likely range 42%–66%, 49 different clubs.

Bromley itself: none of the last 10 seasons in the Premier League.

How do we know?

We took every season since 2004/05 in which a club finished in the same part of the same league, and followed each club forward. The figure is the share that reached each goal. Ten-year goals use finishes from 2004/05 to 2015/16, five-year goals from 2004/05 to 2020/21, so every case has had the full time to play out; results run to the end of 2025/26.

It describes what happened to clubs in this position, not a forecast for one club. A club with much more money or history than is usual for its position has better chances than the figure suggests, which is why the club's own record is shown underneath.

The likely range is a 95% interval worked out by resampling clubs rather than seasons, because the same club often appears several times. It is wide where only a few clubs have been in a position, and two leagues whose ranges overlap may not really differ. Reserve teams such as Barcelona B or Real Madrid Castilla are left out of these counts, because they cannot be promoted into their first team's division.

Counts: stayed up for all of the next five seasons: 36 of 67.
