(Redirected from 2000-01 Fulham F.C. season)

The 2000–01 season was Fulham's 103rd season in professional football, competing in the Football League Division 1. This season for Fulham was of note, as they gained promotion to the Premier League and ran away with the Division 1 title with 101 points, with a 10-point margin over runners-up Blackburn Rovers.
