During the 2000–01 English football season, Sheffield United competed in the First Division.
Neil Warnock's first full season saw the Blades flirting with the play-off places following pockets of good runs. A victory over rivals Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough was a highlight, but the Blades fell away from the play-off race to finish in 10th position.
