Brentford, Fulham Promoted to Premier League

Brentford and Fulham earn promotion to Premier League

Brentford and Fulham secured automatic promotion to the Premier League after the conclusion of the 2020-21 EFL Championship season.

Brentford finished third in the Championship standings with 87 points, while Fulham finished fourth with 86 points.

Barnsley and Swansea City will contest the Championship play-off final, with the winner joining Brentford and Fulham in the Premier League.

It marks a return to the top flight for both Brentford and Fulham after several years in the Championship.

Brentford's promotion to the Premier League is their first since 1947.

The Bees have been in the Championship since 2014-15 and have consistently been in the promotion mix in recent seasons.

Fulham's promotion to the Premier League is their first since 2018-19.

The Cottagers were relegated from the Premier League in 2018-19 but have bounced back quickly to secure an immediate return.

Brentford and Fulham's promotion to the Premier League is a major boost for both clubs and for the EFL Championship.

The two clubs will now compete in the Premier League next season, while the Championship will look to fill the void left by their departure.
