List of Milton Keynes Dons F.C. records and statistics

Milton Keynes Dons Football Club is an English professional association football club based in Denbigh, Milton Keynes, which was established in 2004. Following the controversial relocation of Wimbledon F.C. to Milton Keynes in September 2003, Wimbledon F.C. was renamed Milton Keynes Dons F.C. along with a change of club crest and team colours in June 2004. Between August 2004 and July 2007, the club played their games at a temporary home of the National Hockey Stadium whilst their purpose-built permanent home of Stadium MK was under construction. Since 2004, the club have remained within The Football League. Having reached the Championship in 2015,[1] their highest ever league status, as of the 2019–20 season, they currently play in League One, the third tier of English football, following promotion at the end of the 2018–19 season.[2]
