Sunderland Return to the Premier League But Bookmakers Aren’t Hopeful
Sunderland are back in the big time after a dramatic play-off final victory over Sheffield United, but bookmakers have installed them as strong 1/4 favourites for relegation following the fixture release for the 2025/26 Premier League campaign.
Their top-flight return kicks off with a home clash against West Ham, followed by a string of challenging fixtures, including away trips to Burnley and Crystal Palace.
With survival looking like a tough ask, punters are now eyeing Premier League specials to see just how the Black Cats might fare this season.
Longest odds are for Sunderland to replicate the shock of Leicester City by winning the Premier League, with their odds at 1000/1 to do so.
Ladbrokes specials give an 80% probability that Sunderland are relegated this upcoming season.

Betting Market Insight
Sunderland’s odds of 9/4 to stay up is big for optimistic fans, especially with reinforcements expected in the summer transfer window.
However, the early outlook is grim, with a 5/2 price on the club failing to win any of their first six games further underlining the challenge ahead.
The longer odds specials, including 33/1 for a top-half finish, give punters alternative options should Sunderland's squad surprise pundits again next term.
