Premier League: Which teams got promoted to top flight from Championship?
Promotion to the Premier League remains one of the most financially rewarding achievements in global football, and for the 2024/25 EFL Championship season, 24 teams battled for the coveted three spots in the top flight. With the season now concluded, Burnley, Leeds United, and Sunderland have earned their place in the Premier League for the 2025/26 campaign. Teams promoted to the Premier League
Leeds United
Burnley
Sunderland
Leeds end season as champions
Leeds United claimed the Championship title in dominant fashion, finishing the season with 100 points and securing their return to the Premier League after two years in the second tier. Having narrowly missed promotion last season via the playoffs, Leeds bounced back strongly this time. Joel Piroe led the scoring charts for the Whites with 19 goals, while Daniel James and Manor Solomon also made key attacking contributions. Burnley fetch automatic promotion back to the top flight
Burnley joined them through the second automatic promotion spot, narrowly missing out on the title due to goal difference. Their promotion comes just a year after being relegated from the Premier League. It's the fourth consecutive season that has seen Burnley switch divisions. Midfielder Josh Brownhill was instrumental in their campaign, scoring 18 goals and leading a team packed with experienced players and impactful loanees. Sunderland grab final PL spot with playoff final win
The final promotion place went to Sunderland, who triumphed 2-1 over Sheffield United in a dramatic playoff final. A last-gasp winner by Tom Watson sealed their return to the Premier League after an eight-year absence. Sunderland's rise is particularly remarkable given they were in League One just a few seasons ago, highlighting their steady rebuild and successful resurgence. The next big challenge for these sides will be to maintain their level of performances in order to battle with the other 17 teams from the top flight and try to mainatin their Premier League status for the future.

Ange Postecoglou To Be Fired By Tottenham Hotspur? Reports Suggest Spurs Boss In Danger
Last Updated: Reports suggest Postecoglou may be sacked by Spurs, despite winning the Europa League, after a poor Premier League season, finishing 17th with 22 defeats. Life in the Premier League is never easy, and Tottenham Hotspur boss Ange Postecoglou might be coming to this realization as rumors circulate about his potential sacking despite his recent success. Much to the dismay of Manchester United and Arsenal fans, Tottenham Hotspur achieved the unthinkable by securing a major trophy. They triumphed over Manchester United with a 1-0 victory in the Europa League final in Bilbao, ending a 17-year trophy drought. Despite this historic win, Ange's future at the club remains uncertain. He recently assured Spurs fans that 'season three is better than season two," yet his position is still in jeopardy. The North London club is expected to announce its final decision regarding Postecoglou's future this coming week. According to reports from Football Insider, it seems the Tottenham hierarchy has already decided to end his tenure, just over a week after he delivered their first trophy in 17 years. The 59-year-old Australian is apparently set to pay the price for a disastrous Premier League campaign, which saw the team finish in 17th place—their worst-ever result—with 22 defeats and 65 goals conceded. Although Postecoglou has ended Tottenham's 17-year wait for a major trophy, this achievement might not be enough to secure his position. He acknowledged the precarious nature of his role, humorously noting that sometimes 'they kill off the main character." 'Somebody rightly pointed out, sometimes they kill off the main character, so I could be in strife there," Postecoglou told reporters with a laugh on Saturday. 'I'm not going to put a limit on what we can achieve, but I'm excited about the possibilities for next year, knowing I have a group of players, staff, and a club that knows what it takes to win." He admitted that he hasn't had any discussions with the club regarding his future. 'Maybe they were just waiting for clear air to give me some guidance, but I haven't heard anything from the club." When asked if he would be at the club next season, Postecoglou said he hadn't given it much thought. 'I assume at some point somebody will tell me something," he added. 'If not, I'm just going to roll up next year and be a bit like George Costanza from Seinfeld—I'll just sit at the desk and get on with my job."

Man United agree deal for Wolves' Brazil forward Matheus Cunha
Manchester United have agreed a deal to sign Matheus Cunha from Wolverhampton Wanderers, the two Premier League clubs said on Sunday, with the Brazil forward joining on a five-year contract. United triggered the 26-year-old's release clause, which was worth around 62.5 million pounds ($84.12 million), a team source said. The Old Trafford club also have the option of extending his contract by a year. Cunha has scored 33 times and provided 15 assists in 92 appearances for Wolves, with 15 of those goals coming in the Premier League this season. He becomes United's first summer signing. Our first signing of the summer has been agreed 🇧🇷✍️#MUFC — Manchester United (@ManUtd) June 1, 2025 'Manchester United has reached agreement with Wolverhampton Wanderers for the signing of Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian forward's signing is subject to visa and registration,' United said in a statement. The transfer is a record sale for Wolves, eclipsing the 53 million pounds ($71.33 million) they received from Manchester City for midfielder Matheus Nunes in 2023. 'Everyone at Wolves would like to thank Matheus for his contributions in old gold and wish he and his family the best of luck for the future,' the West Midlands club said. Wolves had signed Cunha on an initial loan deal from Spanish side Atletico Madrid in December 2022 before signing him on a permanent four-year contract. In February, Cunha agreed a new deal to extend his stay at Molineux until 2029. He started his senior career at Swiss club Sion before joining Germany's RB Leipzig in 2018 and then moving to German second-tier side Hertha BSC in 2020. United finished 15th in the Premier League with 42 points. A 2-0 win against Aston Villa at Old Trafford ended a run of eight games without a win and after the final whistle United coach Amorim addressed the home fans. 'I want to apologize for this season. I know you are really disappointed with me and really disappointed with the team,' he said. 'I want to say thank you. We are very grateful for your support during the season, and I know it was really hard in many games.'
