West Bromwich Albion have been handed a points deduction with the EFL confirming the outcome of their investigation into a PSR breach
West Bromwich Albion have been handed a two-point deduction following an investigation by the English Football League (EFL) into an alleged breach of the league’s Profit & Sustainability Rules.
“In March 2026, the EFL’s Club Financial Reporting Unit (CFRU) submitted a Compliance Report to the independent Club Financial Review Panel (CFRP) in relation to an alleged breach of Profitability and Sustainability (P&S) Rules,” an EFL statement read.
“The report alleged that the Club had exceeded the Upper Loss Threshold of £39 million over the three-year period ending in the 2024/25 season and recommended a two-point deduction in line with EFL sanctioning guidelines. The Club denied the allegations.
“Following a hearing on 22 and 23 April and having considered the Compliance Report in full alongside the Club’s responses, the CFRP determined that the Club’s losses did exceed the Upper Loss Threshold and imposed a two-point deduction, effective immediately.
“The sporting sanction has been applied to the Championship table for the 2025/26 season.
“The Club may appeal the decision within 14 days of receipt of the full written reasons, as set out in Appendix 6 of the Regulations. If an appeal is lodged, the rules provide that it shall be heard within 28 days of submission.
“The full written reasons will be published in due course.”
