The historic Championship season, England’s second-tier competition, concluded with Leeds United claiming the title in the final week. Leeds and Burnley secured direct promotion to next season’s Premier League, while the third promotion spot will be determined through playoffs between Sheffield United, Sunderland, Coventry City, and Bristol City.

This Championship season will be remembered as historic as both Leeds and Burnley achieved promotion with 100 points. On the final matchday, Leeds faced Plymouth Argyle at home. The match was tied 1-1 until the 91st minute when Solomon scored the winning goal, giving Daniel Farke’s squad 100 points and securing the title on goal difference ahead of Burnley.

Another remarkable story of this Championship season was Frank Lampard’s achievement with Coventry City. When Lampard took over, the team was in danger of relegation, but he guided them to a fifth-place finish and a playoff spot.

Many in England are disappointed that historic clubs like Blackburn Rovers, Millwall, and West Bromwich Albion failed to reach the playoffs. These popular teams, which were recently in the Premier League, will have to compete in the Championship again next season.

The three relegated teams were also confirmed: Luton Town, Plymouth Argyle, and Cardiff City will drop to League One. Luton Town, who played in the Premier League last season, suffered back-to-back relegations. Plymouth Argyle, who eliminated Liverpool from this year’s FA Cup, also dropped from the Championship.
