Saisonbilanzen von Manchester City

The Manchester City team which won the FA Cup in 1904, the club's first major honour.

This is a list of seasons played by Manchester City in English and European football, from 1891 (when the club, then known as Ardwick, joined the Football Alliance) to the present day. It details the club's achievements in senior league and cup competitions, and the top scorers for each season.

Manchester City were formed in 1880 as West Gorton (St. Marks). At this time organised League football did not exist; ordinary matches were arranged on a largely ad-hoc basis and supplemented by cup competitions. No complete record of the club's matches prior to 1891 survives. In 1890, the club entered the FA Cup for the first time, but withdrew in the second qualifying round. The following season they joined the Football Alliance, and in 1892 were elected to the newly-formed Football League Second Division. In 1894 the club restructured, changing name to Manchester City in the process.

The club first reached the highest division of English football in 1899. Since than the club have undergone a further 22 promotions and relegations, though the majority of their history has been spent in the top division. They have won the League Championship twice, the FA Cup four times, the League Cup twice and the European Cup Winners' Cup once. As of the end of the 2006–07 season, the cub have played 4770 competitive matches in total. In that time the club have spent 78 seasons in the top division of English football, 25 seasons in the second, and one season in the third.
