'''Mùa giải [[Bóng đá năm 1971|1971]]–[[Bóng đá năm 1972|72]]''' là mùa giải hoàn chỉnh thứ 73 của [[Football League]].

[[Brian Clough]], 37 tuổi, giành danh hiệu lớn đầu tiên trong sự nghiệp huấn luyện khi dẫn dắt [[Derby County F.C.|Derby County]] đến chức vô địch quốc gia đầu tiên trong lịch sử câu lạc bộ. Họ vượt qua [[Leeds United F.C.|Leeds United]], [[Liverpool F.C.|Liverpool]] và [[Manchester City F.C.|Manchester City]] để giành chiến thắng trong cuộc đua bốn đội, với chỉ một điểm cách biệt giữa cả bốn đội. Sau đó có các cáo buộc hối lộ từ báo ''[[The Sunday People]]'' liên quan đến huấn luyện viên Leeds [[Don Revie]] và đối thủ cuối cùng của Leeds là [[Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.|Wolverhampton Wanderers]].<ref>{{Chú thích web |last=Corbett |first=James |date=2007–11-25 |title=James Corbett on Don Revie |url=http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2007/nov/25/football.newsstory |access-date=2022–05-08 |website=The Guardian |language=en}}</ref> Các cơ quan quản lí bóng đá chưa bao giờ điều tra những cáo buộc này để xác định liệu chúng có đúng hay không.

[[Nottingham Forest F.C.|Nottingham Forest]] và [[Huddersfield Town A.F.C.|Huddersfield Town]] mất tư cách tại First Division. Đến cuối thập kỉ, Forest đã có màn trở lại bùng nổ ở hạng đấu cao nhất. Mùa giải 1971–72 là mùa giải cuối cùng của Huddersfield ở hạng đấu cao nhất cho đến khi họ thăng hạng vào mùa giải 2016–17, và chỉ trong vài mùa giải sau đó, đội bóng đã rơi xuống Fourth Division — phần lớn thời gian tồn tại của câu lạc bộ kể từ năm 1972 là ở hai hạng đấu thấp hơn của League.

Tại Second Division, [[Norwich City F.C.|Norwich City]] và [[Birmingham City F.C.|Birmingham City]] giành quyền thăng hạng. Đây là lần đầu tiên Norwich City vươn lên hạng đấu cao nhất. [[Charlton Athletic F.C.|Charlton Athletic]] và [[Watford F.C.|Watford]] xuống hạng.

[[Aston Villa F.C.|Aston Villa]] chấm dứt hai năm thi đấu tại Third Division bằng việc thăng hạng với tư cách nhà vô địch, và đến cuối thập kỉ đã tái lập vững chắc vị thế của một câu lạc bộ First Division. [[Brighton & Hove Albion F.C.|Brighton & Hove Albion]] theo chân Villa lên Second Division, nhưng không đạt đến những đỉnh cao mà đội bóng vùng Midlands sau đó trải nghiệm. [[Mansfield Town F.C.|Mansfield Town]], [[Barnsley F.C.|Barnsley]], [[Torquay United F.C.|Torquay United]] và [[Bradford City A.F.C.|Bradford City]] xuống hạng.

[[Grimsby Town F.C.|Grimsby Town]], [[Southend United F.C.|Southend United]], [[Brentford F.C.|Brentford]] và [[Scunthorpe United F.C.|Scunthorpe United]] thăng hạng từ Fourth Division. [[Barrow A.F.C.|Barrow]] bị bỏ phiếu loại khỏi Football League và được thay thế bởi [[Hereford United F.C.|Hereford United]], đội không lâu trước đó đã [[Hereford United v Newcastle United 1972|tạo nên chiến thắng gây sốc tại Cúp FA]] trước [[Newcastle United F.C.|Newcastle United]].

[[Ernie Tagg]] tự rời chức huấn luyện viên [[Crewe Alexandra F.C.|Crewe Alexandra]] vì cho rằng một huấn luyện viên trẻ hơn nên tiếp quản câu lạc bộ.

==Bảng xếp hạng và kết quả cuối cùng==

Các bảng bên dưới được tái hiện tại đây đúng theo hình thức có thể tìm thấy trên trang web [https://www.rsssf.org/engpaul/FLA/1971–72.html Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation]<ref name="rsssf">{{Chú thích web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/engpaul/FLA/1971–72.html |title=Anh 1971–72 |publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation |access-date=24 tháng 2 năm 2010 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100601090929/http://www.rsssf.com/engpaul/FLA/1971–72.html |archive-date=1 tháng 6 năm 2010}}</ref> và trong ''Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888–89 to 1978–79'',<ref name="Rothmans">Ian Laschke: ''Rothmans Book of Football League Records 1888–89 to 1978–79''. Macdonald and Jane's, Luân Đôn & Sydney, 1980.</ref>, với thống kê sân nhà và sân khách được tách riêng.

Bắt đầu từ mùa giải 1894–95, các câu lạc bộ bằng điểm được phân hạng theo trung bình bàn thắng, tức số bàn thắng ghi được chia cho số bàn thua, hay chính xác hơn là tỉ lệ bàn thắng. Trong trường hợp một hoặc nhiều đội có cùng hiệu số bàn thắng bại, hệ thống này có lợi cho những đội ghi được ít bàn thắng hơn. Hệ thống trung bình bàn thắng cuối cùng bị bãi bỏ kể từ mùa giải 1976–77.

Kể từ khi [[Football League Fourth Division|Fourth Division]] được thành lập trong [[Football League 1958–59|mùa giải 1958–59]], bốn đội cuối bảng của hạng đấu này phải nộp đơn xin [[re-election (Football League)|tái bầu chọn]].<ref name="Rothmans"/>
