During the 2000–01 English football season, Charlton Athletic competed in the FA Premier League. The club also competed in the FA Cup, and the League Cup.
Season summary Alan Curbishley and his Charlton side won their Division One title and were promoted back to the FA Premier League at the first time of asking. This time he kept them there with a ninth-place finish and 52 points. Still, it was an achievement for a side who were tipped by many punters to immediately relegate to the Nationwide League. The arrival of striker Jason Euell from Wimbledon in a club record deal gave fans hope of more success in 2001–02.
Kit Charlton's kit was manufactured by Le Coq Sportif and sponsored by Redbus.
