This is a list of seasons completed by the Cardiff Devils ice hockey team, presently of the British Elite League. This list documents the season-by-season records of the Cardiff Devils from their foundation in 1986 to the present day. Beginning in Division Two Midlands, the Devils rose quickly through the ranks of British ice hockey, winning the league title and British Championship in only their fourth season of existence. Since then the club has won a further three league titles and three playoff championships as well as one Autumn Cup and one Challenge Cup.
Since winning promotion to the Premier League in 1989, Cardiff have played all but two seasons at British ice hockey's highest level. Of the ten current members of the Elite League, only the Nottingham Panthers have played more seasons in top flight ice hockey.

Had found some months asleep and leapt them over.”
