Hull FC will play in their 28th consecutive season of Super League in 2025, with the competition getting underway once again three weeks this Thursday. Here, Hull Live looks at where the Black and Whites have finished in every single one of those years to date.

1998, 9th: After announcing their Super League debut with victory away at Sheffield Eagles, Hull did enough to stay up in their first season back in the topflight, winning eight of their 23 league games.

1999, 13th: The club's last game of the millennium saw Hull survive relegation by the skin of their teeth. They beat Sheffield on the final day and finished with just five wins from 30 games in a 14-team comp.

2000, 7th: Shaun McRae immediately stabilised the club after arriving from Gateshead Thunder. The Hull Sharks era was no more, with 'Bomber' leading the side to a much-improved seventh position.

2001, 3rd: Hull were starting to become a force in Super League. A third-place finish cemented that fact, even if play-off defeats came at Wigan and then at home to St Helens in what was still a breakthrough year.

2002, 5th: Hull were a play-off side once again in their final season playing at the Boulevard, but they weren’t good enough to beat Leeds in a Headingley eliminator.

2003, 7th: Hull’s first year at the MKM Stadium saw them finish outside of the play-off positions following career-ending injuries for the likes of Dwayne West, Steve Prescott, and Tony Smith.

2004, 3rd: Shaun McRae led his Hull FC side to a third-place finish in his final year at the club. The Black and Whites played some slick stuff before finishing in disappointing fashion, losing a home play-off eliminator to Wakefield.

2005, 5th: After a memorable Challenge Cup-winning campaign under John Kear, the end of the league season saw both Hull's best and worst ever play-off game. The best? The win over Warrington that sent Aussie superstar Andrew Johns on the next flight home. The worst? The 71-0 defeat to Bradford the following week.

2006, 2nd: Hull's best Super League season to date. The club parted ways with John Kear early on, with Peter Sharp coming in, and after a 13-game winning run, they made the Grand Final at Old Trafford for the first and only time to date.

2007, 4th: After a poor start, Hull picked themselves up in the summer months to reach the play-offs once again. They defeated Huddersfield before losing to a Trent Barrett-inspired Wigan side in an MKM Stadium thriller.

2008, 11th: Hull finished second from bottom in a disastrous Super League season. However, they did reach a first Challenge Cup final at the new Wembley as Richard Agar took over. Unfortunately, St Helens were at the peak of their powers and did enough to win.

2009, 12th: Super League returned to 14 teams between the 2009 and 2014 seasons. Hull, meanwhile, weren’t good enough again, and after winning their first five games, they lost 17 of their next 22 in what was another campaign to forget.

2010, 6th: Back in the play-off picture after two poor years and comfortably so, but an eliminator defeat to their local rivals over the river soured the taste.

2011, 8th: After Adam Pearson purchased the club in July, Hull squeezed into the play-offs following a final-round win over Castleford but lost an eliminator tie at Leeds, who would go on to win the title from fifth position.

2012, 6th: A bright start under new coach Peter Gentle, then a blip, then a strong finish saw Hull finish in sixth place. They thrashed Huddersfield in the play-offs before a narrow defeat at Warrington ended the year.

2013, 6th: De-ja-vu. A promising mid-season patch was enough for Hull to get into the top eight. They also made another Wembley Challenge Cup final, this time losing to Wigan in awful wet weather conditions, but a heavy play-off defeat at Huddersfield that saw Hull 54-0 down at half-time brought an end to Peter Gentle's time at the club.

2014, 11th: With a squad overhaul on the cards, Lee Radford’s first season in charge of the first team wasn’t one to shout from the rooftops about. They finished in 11th place ahead of another Super League competition overhaul.

2015, 8th: After Super League returned to 12 teams, just one win in the controversial first Super 8s format saw Hull finish their 150th anniversary year in eighth position.

2016, 3rd: A year immortalised with Hull’s first Challenge Cup win at Wembley. Lee Radford's side were also sitting proudly at the top of Super League at the season's split, but they dropped down to third place following the completion of the Super 8 fixtures and crashed out at the semi-final stage at soon-to-be champs, Wigan.

2017, 3rd: A second consecutive third-place finish for Hull, who lost the Super League semi-final again, this time at eventual winners Leeds. They did win the Challenge Cup again, though, with a thrilling win over Shaun Wane’s Wigan side.

2018, 8th: After a poor start, things were looking promising for Hull come mid-season, but an eleven-game losing run to finish the year saw an injury-hit side drop to a frustrating eighth place.

2019, 6th: A disappointing end to the season saw Hull miss out on a revised top five play-off series on points difference.

2020, 6th: A sixth-place finish was just enough for Hull to squeeze into a revised top-six play-off series after the sacking of Lee Radford, a national lockdown, and a worldwide pandemic. An eliminator win at Warrington was followed by a defeat at Wigan in the Super League semi-final.

2021, 8th: A promising start under Brett Hodgson was undone with just one win in the final ten matches. Factors elsewhere, but ultimately not good enough.

2022, 9th: Not good enough again, with a poor second half of the season getting pretty toxic. Changes were therefore made.

2023, 10th: A mid-season revival in Tony Smith's first year in charge was not enough to get Hull into the play-off picture, with a poor start and end to the year proving to be their undoing.

2024, 11th: After just three wins were recorded all year, Hull finished second from bottom and separated by London on points difference, parting ways with Tony Smith and putting Simon Grix in interim charge. Change was the word, with now CEO Richie Myler brought in as Director of Rugby and a change of ownership at the top with Adam Pearson selling the club after 13 years to Andrew Thirkill and David Hood.

What's in store for 2025? Who knows, but as always, we can't wait to jump on the rollercoaster.
