The teams with the most Premier League defeats in 2026 so far If 2026 has proved anything, it’s that the Premier League is an unforgiving place even for some of its biggest clubs. Chelsea are well versed in this fact, having been dealt their sixth consecutive top-flight defeat on Monday when a second string Nottingham Forest side crushed them 3-1 at Stamford Bridge . That has taken the Blues to eight defeats since January, which is an awful lot in the span of just four months.
But how does their record in the calendar year compare to the league’s biggest strugglers over that period? The teams with the most Premier League defeats in 2026: =4. Chelsea – 8 So Chelsea have not been the worst team in the Premier League this year, but they haven’t been far off it either.
Their form since the New year would leave them sixth from bottom in the table, having won five, drawn three and lost eight of their matches. They’ve scored 22 goals (and conceded 27) in that time, but only one of those goals has come in their last six outings, which was Joao Pedro’s acrobatic consolation against Forest this week. Oddly, while things have been falling apart in the league, they reached the FA Cup final.
Swings and roundabouts. Read – Joao Pedro matches Hasselbaink and Costa feat for Chelsea =4. Sunderland – 8 It’s not at all surprising that, after making such a strong start, Sunderland’s form has tailed off since the midway point of the campaign.
