Luton Town secures historic promotion to Premier League via penalty shootout win.

Luton Town has completed a remarkable rise from the English fifth tier to the Premier League after beating Coventry City 6-5 on penalties in the Championship playoff final. The victory came after a 31-year hiatus from the top tier and marks the first time the club will compete in the Premier League. Luton's journey has been marked by financial hardship, and the team played in England's fifth tier at the start of its nine-year journey. The club is planning a bigger venue scheduled for completion in 2026, at which point it hopes to still be competing in the top tier.

However, the stadium will require a rapid summer upgrade costing between £8-10 million to meet Premier League standards. Luton Town is also hoping to move to a new, purpose-built stadium by the 2026-27 season.
