Burnley FC: Total mileage, fixture release date and season start as 24/25 line-up confirmed following Southampton’s promotion

Burnley will make the trip to Elland Road next season, rather than St Mary’s, after Russell Martin’s side sealed their place in the Premier League with a 1-0 win at Wembley.

It means the Saints will line up in the top table of English football alongside Leicester City and Ipswich Town, who won automatic promotion.

Leeds will inevitably be among the favourites for promotion from the Championship next season along with Burnley, who drop back down to the second tier after a miserable campaign in the top flight.

Much depends, however, on who comes in to replace Vincent Kompany ahead of the Belgian’s anticipated move to Bayern Munich.

Also relegated from the Premier League were Luton Town and Sheffield United, who were the two sides to win promotion alongside Burnley during the 2022/23 campaign.

Coming up from League One is Portsmouth, Derby County and Oxford United.

Burnley will travel 7,058 miles in the Championship next season, compared to 6,300 in the Premier League this term.

The fixtures will be released at 9am on Wednesday, June 26 while the season gets underway on August 10/11.
