During the 2000–01 English football season, Crewe Alexandra F.C. competed in the Football League First Division, their 78th in the English Football League.
Season summary
A terrible first half of the 2000–01 season saw Crewe bottom at Christmas. Then with the emergence of Rob Hulse and Dean Ashton, Crewe went on a fantastic run, winning nine of their remaining matches to starve off relegation to finish 14th. A 3–1 defeat by Preston on 28 April finally saw the Alex beaten at home after an unbeaten run of nine in the league.
