## Quick answer

Coventry City’s relegation contract was 65% in our October 4 snapshot, with Hull City at 50% and Ipswich Town at 40%. These individual Yes/No propositions can succeed together, so readers should not expect their probabilities to add to 100%. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/premier-league-teams-relegated-2026-27)

## Key takeaways

- The contract covers official loss of a Premier League place for the next season, including an official league decision. Its scope is broader than a casual prediction about a particular weekend’s table position. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/premier-league-teams-relegated-2026-27)
- The case for Coventry being relegated strengthens if its final league position falls into a relegation place or an applicable official decision removes its place. The proper comparison is with nearby clubs and games remaining, not just the leading teams.
- The case weakens if Coventry builds a sufficient points buffer above the relegation positions. An October probability is not mathematical elimination, and a run of results can alter the survival comparison.

At our October 4 observation, the relevant open contracts read: Coventry City 65%; Hull City 50%; Ipswich Town 40%. These are recorded market prices, not official outcome declarations. The event’s cumulative volume was $191,204; that measures turnover across this parent event, rather than money backing any one scenario.

## What would strengthen or weaken the case

The case for Coventry being relegated strengthens if its final league position falls into a relegation place or an applicable official decision removes its place. The proper comparison is with nearby clubs and games remaining, not just the leading teams.

The case weakens if Coventry builds a sufficient points buffer above the relegation positions. An October probability is not mathematical elimination, and a run of results can alter the survival comparison.

## The evidence that will settle it

An official 2026–27 relegation is required for Yes. A club merely occupying a low position during the season has not yet met that condition. The Premier League’s official announcements are primary.

The season is scheduled to end May 30. If it is cancelled, postponed past June 30, 2027, 11:59 p.m. ET, or no teams are confirmed relegated by then, the corresponding contract resolves No. [3](https://polymarket.com/event/premier-league-teams-relegated-2026-27/will-coventry-city-be-relegated-from-premier-league-2026-27)[2](https://www.premierleague.com/en/news/4468487/dates-for-202627-premier-league-season-confirmed)

## A fact worth knowing
