During the 2000–01 English football season, Sunderland A.F.C. competed in the FA Premier League.

Season summary

Sunderland enjoyed another strong season, and briefly occupied second place in February, but the Black Cats were unable to keep up their excellent form, and they had to settle for seventh place – just as they did last season, and not quite enough for UEFA Cup qualification.[1]
