The1980–81 season was the 82nd completed season ofThe Football League. This was the final league season with two points for win.

Ron Saunders completed the revival of Birmingham clubAston Villa, as they won theFirst Division for the first time in 71 years. Villa competed in a two-horse race withIpswich Town during the final stages of the season, eventually finishing four points ahead of the Suffolk side. Defending championsLiverpool slipped to fifth place, but compensated for this by winning theEuropean Cup and their firstLeague Cup.Manchester United failed to finish in the top five, a shortcoming that cost Dave Sexton his job as manager; he was succeeded byRon Atkinson, who had finished fourth in the league and reached theUEFA Cup quarter-finals with an impressiveWest Bromwich Albion side – who would suffer a rapid decline after Atkinson's departure.

Crystal Palace endured a dreadful season with just six wins, all at home. They were joined in relegation to the Second Division byNorwich City andLeicester City.

FA Cup holdersWest Ham United returned to the First Division by becomingSecond Division champions. Also promoted wereNotts County andSwansea City, the Welsh club completing a meteoric rise underJohn Toshack by going from the Fourth Division to the First in just four years. Both Bristol clubs were relegated, along withPreston North End.

In theThird Division,Rotherham United were champions, withBarnsley andCharlton Athletic also promoted.Hull City,Blackpool andColchester United were relegated, as wereSheffield United, who just seven years earlier had finished sixth in the First Division.

TheFourth Division sawSouthend United finish as champions, withLincoln City,Doncaster Rovers andWimbledon occupying the other promotion places. There were no movements between the Fourth Division and theAlliance Premier League as the re-election system went in favour of the league's bottom four clubs.

Aston Villa came top of a hotly contested title race to clinch their first top division title since 1910, using only 14 players throughout the season, with only eight scorers. Runners-up Ipswich Town had compensation for their failed title challenge in the shape of aUEFA Cup triumph, and were also semi-finalists in the FA Cup, their relatively small squad struggling in the final weeks of the season as a challenge for three major trophies took its toll. Arsenal finished third, while West Bromwich Albion enjoyed another strong season and finished fourth. Liverpool finished fifth but won their thirdEuropean Cup and their firstLeague Cup.

Manchester United's failure to finish higher than eighth in the league cost managerDave Sexton his job after four trophyless seasons in charge, and a lengthy search for a new manager saw West Bromwich Albion'sRon Atkinson named as his successor. Everton appointed their former playerHoward Kendall as manager after a disappointing 15th-place finish. Tottenham, meanwhile, only finished 10th in the league but achieved a sixth triumph in the FA Cup at the expense of Manchester City, who climbed up to 12th place in the league after an upturn in fortunes brought about the October change of manager fromMalcolm Allison toJohn Bond.

Bond's former club Norwich City went down to the Second Division along with Leicester City and Crystal Palace.

A year after winning the FA Cup, West Ham ended their three-year exile from the First Division by clinching the Second Division title. Notts County, who finished second, went up after 55 years away from the First Division. Third placed Swansea City completed an unprecedented four-season climb from the Fourth Division to the First Division, where they had never previously played. Blackburn Rovers missed out on promotion on goal difference, and then lost their promising young player-managerHoward Kendall to Everton.

BothBristol clubs went down along with Preston North End.
