Sheffield United FC, second in the 2022-23 Sky Bet Championship with a seven-point lead over third-placed Luton Town FC with two games to go (and a game in hand), are assured of finishing the year in that position and therefore promotion to the Premier League without going through the playoffs, following their 2-0 win over West Bromwich Albion FC on 26/04/2023.

Relegated to the second division after the 2020-21 season, Sheffield return to the top flight after two seasons in the Championship, and will join Burnley FC, also promoted in early April 2023.

Sheffield has been 97.25% owned by Prince Abdullah bin Mosaad bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Riyadh (Saudi Arabia) through the holding company United World Holdings Limited since 2013.

The English club, whose equipment supplier has been Erreà, an Italian brand, since 2022, has 2.51 million fans on social media (Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and Twitter) as of 11/04/2023.
