In the 1914–15 season, the Arsenal F.C. played 38 games, of which it won 19, drew 5 and lost 14. The team finished 5th, but was promoted to the First Division due to the League's expansion to 22 teams. It was the first season since 1893 that the team dropped "Woolwich" from their name, rebranding as Arsenal F.C. They continue to play under this name today.
