The 2009–10 season marked Burnley's first season in the Premier League and the end of the club's 33-year absence from the top flight of English football.
Burnley became the first newly promoted club to chalk up four successive home victories at the start of a Premier League season. The club ended the season in 18th position, however, and were relegated back to the Championship.
In June 2009 manager Owen Coyle signed a contract extension to remain at the club until the end of the 2012–13 season, but left in January to manage Bolton Wanderers. Eight days later Brian Laws was named as his replacement.
