During the 1999–2000 English football season, Bradford City competed in the FA Premier League.

Season summary

David Wetherall's goal on the final day of the season gave Bradford City a surprise 1–0 victory over Liverpool, which secured survival and kept them in the top division that the Bantams had spent 77 years trying to regain. Paul Jewell then walked out at Valley Parade to take over at relegated Sheffield Wednesday, leaving his assistant Chris Hutchings to pick up the pieces.
