Alf Ramsey's Ipswich took advantage of Burnley's home defeat to go back to the top of the table, and they would stay unbeaten to secure a historic first title, in their first-ever top-flight season, whilst Burnley were unable to catch them despite their games in hand in a torturous April of eleven fixtures in all competitions.

Liverpool's game at Swansea had been postponed, five days earlier, due to a smallpox outbreak in Glamorgan, but they still had games in hand, and they had gone 26 league matches at home unbeaten, a run stretching back to December 1960. Leyton Orient failed to close the gap after losing at home, but it did not matter in that season, because they earned the same number of points away as at home, and scored more goals away from home, as they held off Sunderland's challenge to finish runners-up to Liverpool, to secure their only top-flight season to-date.

With Portsmouth on the brink of securing promotion, they suddenly lost confidence and suffered a third successive defeat. This would stretch to four games without scoring, but their earlier domination stood them in good stead and they cemented their top-two placing, nine days later, on Easter Monday, with the championship title following at the end of the same week.

After 33 seasons since 1921, Accrington Stanley withdrew from the Football League on 7 March 1962, and five days later, their 33 results from the season were expunged, with 48 points being taken away from the other 23 clubs in the division. Millwall benefited as they had only played Accrington once, and they went on to win the title by a point from Colchester United, ending a run of four seasons in the fourth division. Oxford United won the race to replace Accrington, at the end of the season.
