Hull City can finally breathe. After snatching its place in the Championship play-offs then successively eliminating its opponents until a final match won in the last moments against Middlesbrough, the English club validates its return to the Premier League, a first since the 2016-2017 season. A rise obtained at the end of a grueling journey, but which above all marks the end of a long stint in lower divisions for the Tigers.
Beyond the sporting feat, this promotion represents above all a major financial operation. According to estimates relayed by Sky SportHull City now ensures revenues in excess of 200 million euros for the 2026-2027 season, thanks in particular to TV rights and the Premier League’s redistribution mechanisms. Even in the event of immediate relegation, the club could receive a total amount of around 228 million euros, confirming the colossal economic impact of a return to the elite of English football.
