Coach Scott Parker's remarkable achievement

In the early hours of April 22nd, Burnley secured the final direct promotion spot from the Championship to the Premier League for the 2025/26 season.

Burnley's victory over third-placed Sheffield United made them the next team, after Leeds, to secure direct promotion to the Premier League for the 2025/26 season.

The Turf Moor side have 94 points, level with Leeds and 8 points ahead of Sheffield, with only two rounds remaining in the season. Sheffield only have themselves to blame, having faltered at the most crucial stage of the season, and now facing the risk of a playoff defeat.

Burnley enjoyed a miraculous season with astonishing statistics. "The Clarets" conceded only 15 goals in 44 matches, kept 29 clean sheets, remained unbeaten in 31 games, and never conceded more than one goal in a single match.

Burnley's success bears the strong imprint of Scott Parker. The English manager has helped three teams gain promotion to the Premier League in his career, including Burnley (2025), Bournemouth (2022), and Fulham (2020).

Goalkeeper James Trafford is a key player in the best defense in the Championship this season. The former Man City goalkeeper is attracting attention from many big clubs after his outstanding performances.

Just a few hours earlier, Leeds also secured promotion after a crushing 6-0 victory over Stoke City. "The Whites" will return to the Premier League after a two-season absence.

Sheffield and Sunderland are guaranteed a place in the play-offs, while the remaining three spots will be contested by Bristol, Coventry, Middlesbrough, Millwall, Blackburn, West Brom, and Swansea.
