Leeds United have been promoted to the Premier League as Championship winners.

They fought back to beat Plymouth 2-1 away from home, to confirm their finish at the top of the table for the 2024/25 season.

Their nearest challengers Burnley finish in second - and also with an automatic promotion place.

Leeds' opponents Plymouth join Cardiff and Hull in being relegated to League One.

Leeds will celebrate this achievement at a parade in the city centre on Bank Holiday Monday (Monday 5th May 2025).
