Coventry City clinched the 2025-26 EFL Championship title and automatic promotion to the Premier League in mid-April after a dominant campaign under Frank Lampard, finishing well clear at the top with a 95-point haul. Ipswich Town secured the second automatic spot on the final day via a decisive victory, returning to the top flight after a single season away. With the regular season now complete, the promotion market reflects these confirmed results, as Southampton, Millwall and Middlesbrough fell short of the automatic places and head into playoffs for the final Premier League spot. Recent form, goal difference and head-to-head records shaped the final table, underscoring how consistent results over 46 matchdays determined the outcome ahead of any postseason fixtures.
