The journey to find the richest game in sport is ongoing, as playoff scenarios are forming in the EFL Championship with both Leeds United and Burnley set to make their mark in the Premier League next season. Teams throughout England’s football tiers are racing for promotion.
Tom Brady’s Birmingham City has also clinched their return to the Championship, while Wrexham’s remarkable ascent, supported by owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, continues with three successive promotions. But who else has secured their advancement this season?
Promoted to the Premier League
- Burnley
- Leeds United
Scott Parker has guided Burnley back to the Premier League after their relegation last season, showcasing a strong defensive lineup supported by goalkeeper James Trafford. Leeds, matching Burnley with 97 points, is on the verge of making history by having two teams in the same division reach 100 points.
Promoted to the Championship
- Birmingham City
- Wrexham
League One can potentially see Birmingham City achieve 111 points if they win their final match. Their ownership, now featuring Tom Brady, has made significant investments, including striker Jay Stansfield, who has notably scored 19 goals. Meanwhile, Wrexham’s narrative continues as Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney lead them into a hard-fought Championship journey.
Promoted to League One
- Doncaster Rovers
- Port Vale
Luke Molyneux has had an exceptional season, scoring 16 goals and assisting 12 as he pushes Doncaster toward promotion. After a challenging stretch since their 2014 relegation, this promotion represents a significant milestone. Port Vale, under Darren Morre, looks to return to League One after being relegated just last season.
