The 2003–04 season was the 105th full season of competitive league football in the history of English football club Wolverhampton Wanderers. They played the season in the Premiership, the highest level of English football. This marked their first ever appearance in the modern Premier League, and their first season in the top flight since 1983–84. The club had been promoted after having won the play-off final at the end of the previous season to earn the final promotion spot.
Their return to the top level proved short-lived as the team struggled throughout the campaign and were eventually relegated in 20th place, finishing bottom of the division on goal difference, seven points short of safety. They were officially relegated after failing to win their penultimate game, although their vastly inferior goal difference meant that survival was effectively ruled out on 1 May 2004, despite victory, owing to relegation rivals Manchester City also winning.
Wolves became the third team in Premier League history to fail to win an away game during a season. Contributing to this outcome was a series of serious injuries to key players, with Matt Murray and Joleon Lescott missing almost the entire season and Mark Kennedy and Kenny Miller kept out for long periods.
Pre-season
Wolves split their squad into two groups, one led by manager Dave Jones, another by coach Terry Connor after assistant manager John Ward left the club.John Ward leaves Wolves http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0,,10307~396589,00.html Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C 7 July 2003 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120401234216/http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0%2C%2C10307~396589%2C00.html 1 April 2012 Preparations also included a week's warm weather training in Jerez, Spain.Setting up camp http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0,,10307~391394,00.html Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C 17 June 2003 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120401234216/http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0%2C%2C10307~391394%2C00.html 1 April 2012 A planned friendly against Dutch side ADO Den Haag was cancelled on the day of the game after a water leak hit the venue, Telford United's Bucks Head stadium.Friendly called off http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0,,10307~402997,00.html Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C 25 July 2003 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20120401234216/http://www.wolves.co.uk/page/News/0%2C%2C10307~402997%2C00.html 1 April 2012 Only the final friendly was held at Wolves' Molineux home.

A total of 20 teams competed in the FA Premiership in the 2003–04 season. Each team would play every other team twice, once at their stadium, and once at the opposition's. Three points were awarded to teams for each win, one point per draw, and none for defeats. The provisional fixture list was released on 19 June 2003, but was subject to change in the event of matches being selected for television coverage or police concerns.Premiership fixtures https://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/eng_prem/3000128.stm BBC Sport 19 June 2003
