Southampton’s play-off final win over Leeds United now means Sunderland now all of the opponents they will face in the Championship next season.
A goal from former Newcastle United and Blackburn Rovers striker Adam Armstrong ensured the Saints returned to the Premier League at the first time of asking and condemned Leeds to a second consecutive season in the second tier.
There will be some familiar faces back in the Championship after Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton Town all made an immediate return from the top flight. Sunderland will also renew acquaintances with former League One rivals Portsmouth and Oxford United and will also meet Derby County for the first time since 2018 after they secured a runners-up spot in the third tier.
That all means a serious commitment from Black Cats supporters as they prepare to follow their side around the country next season - but what is the total distance they will travel to and from away games during the campaign?
