Town Officially Back in the Premier League
Friday, 5th Jun 2026 14:03

Town officially became a Premier League club this morning at the division’s annual general meeting.

At the AGM, the previous season’s relegated Premier League clubs surrender the shares which gave them top flight status and the sides promoted from the Championship are presented with theirs.

The three new clubs, Town, Coventry and Hull City this year, are then officially entered into the share register.

In addition to the formal business, the league table is reset, listing the clubs in alphabetical order, while the Premier League’s social media accounts have begun to follow those of the Blues, Sky Blues and Tigers.

Town will learn their Premier League fixture list at 10am on Friday 19th June with the opening matches over the weekend of Saturday 22nd August.

With nine Premier League clubs in European competition next season, a significant number of the Blues’ matches are likely to be on Sundays with fewer scheduled for 3pm on Saturday afternoon than has ever previously been the case.

Promotion to the Premier League is worth a minimum of £240 million to the club, £120 million for the season ahead, then, if they don’t stay up, the same figure in parachute payments over the course of the following two campaigns.

hoppy added 14:25 - Jun 5 Foreverdon_Blue - Haha... yes, and even if they went with Tottenham, instead of Spurs, they'd still be bottom!! Will they start referring to themselves as Hotspurs to try and get half way up the table?

tetchris added 17:20 - Jun 5 Does this mean that if Southampton had got promoted, could the other teams voted and not allow them entry into the PL ?

armchaircritic59 added 17:59 - Jun 5 If ourselves, Coventry and Hull all finish the season in the positions listed above, it's going to be a season like no other. I don't think I'll rush to the bookies though!

Runner added 18:37 - Jun 5 What happens if a team finish 18th but refuse to hand back their shares? Do they then get to stay in the top league? Asking for a friend.

Bazza8564 added 08:47 - Jun 6 RobITFC, good Question, I would say any day now. Released players are usually given 3 weeks or so before their contracts expire on June 30th. With WC starting end of next week and window opening June 15th, I wouldn't be surprised to see it Monday or Tuesday

bobble added 09:02 - Jun 6 If Trump owned a team in the top flight that got relegated he would definately refuse to hand over his shares to the newly promoted team...is the top flight aware of this and have they banned big billionaire cry babies who hate losing from owning clubs in their division ?

Brogan55 added 10:16 - Jun 6 One thing which stood out to me last time in the Premiership was you need young talented players who are athletic and will keep going.We were too predictable.So by my reckoning we need at least 6 or 7 players to make the team stronger.I am not saying that we need them all to be young,but a blend.The next few weeks are going to be interesting,to say the least.
