When were Sunderland last in the Premier League? Black Cats end top-flight exile ...Middle East

Sunderland are back in the Premier League after a long break after a 2-1 win over Sheffield United in the Championship Play-Off Final.

The Black Cats were former mainstays in England’s top-flight but have spent their recent history toiling across the EFL divisions, but they are back.

Formed in 1879, the Wearsiders have claimed six top-flight titles and are two-time winners of the FA Cup.

Regis Le Bris’ young side are now back where they feel they belong after coming from 1-0 down in the final to beat the Blades at Wembley.

Sunderland will now return to the top-flight, where they will face bitter rivals Newcastle United in league action once again.

When were Sunderland last in the Premier League?

Sunderland have not graced the top-flight of English football since the 2016/17 season, which ended a 10-year stay in the elite division.

The Black Cats were Premier League mainstays from 2007 to 2017, but they only finished in the top half once in that decade.

In 2016, Sam Allardyce departed Sunderland to take up the England job and left them looking for their ninth manager in eight years.

David Moyes was named as his replacement a day later, but relegation was confirmed after a 1-0 defeat to Bournemouth in April 2017.

Sunderland’s misery was compounded after the club slid into the third tier for the first time in 30 years after successive relegations.

It took them four seasons to find a way back to the Championship, having beaten Wycombe 2-0 in the League One playoff final in 2022.
