This article is about Portsmouth Football Club when they were league champions of 1949-50. They have not been champions of England since 1950. The club retained the title they won in 1948-49, beating Aston Villa 5-1 on the last day of the season, and are thus one of only five English teams to have won back to back titles since World War II.
