Bromley FC Celebrate Historic League Two Title Success

By Sports Desk | June 27, 2026

Bromley Football Club capped off a remarkable 2025/26 campaign by securing the Sky Bet League Two title and promotion to League One. The Ravens finished the season as champions with 87 points, marking the first time in the club's history they have reached the third tier of English football.

Manager Andy Woodman’s side demonstrated consistency and resilience throughout the season, spending much of it at the top of the table. A strong run of form in the second half of the campaign, including an extended unbeaten streak, proved decisive as they fended off challenges from Milton Keynes Dons, Cambridge United, and Notts County.

The title was mathematically confirmed in April following Notts County’s defeat, allowing Bromley to celebrate promotion with games to spare. They went on to seal the championship with a 3-1 victory over Walsall on the final day of the season at Hayes Lane, sending the home crowd into raptures.

"This is a dream come true for everyone connected with the club," Woodman said in a post-season interview. "From the players and staff to the incredible supporters who have backed us every step of the way. We set high standards and the lads delivered week in, week out. Promotion to League One is massive, but winning the title makes it even more special."

Key performers this season included striker Michael Cheek, who contributed crucial goals, and midfielder Ben Thompson, whose hat-trick in the memorable 4-1 win at Gillingham in January highlighted the team’s attacking threat. Defensive reinforcements such as loan signings Jesse Debrah and Zech Medley added stability during the promotion push.

Bromley’s success builds on their promotion from the National League just two seasons ago. Under Woodman’s leadership, the club has transformed into a competitive EFL outfit, blending experienced players with hungry talents. Their set-piece expertise and organised pressing have drawn praise across the league.

Off the pitch, attendances at Hayes Lane have continued to grow, reflecting increased local support and national interest in the club’s fairytale rise. The club has also strengthened community ties through various initiatives, including partnerships supporting health causes.

As preparations for League One begin, Bromley face the challenge of competing against established sides like Huddersfield Town, Bolton Wanderers, and potentially others. The club is expected to be active in the summer transfer market to bolster the squad for the step up in quality.

Woodman remains confident: "We’ve earned the right to be in League One. Now it’s about building on this momentum, staying ambitious, and proving we belong at this level. The journey continues."

Fans are already looking forward to the 2026/27 season, with optimism high following this historic achievement. Bromley FC’s rapid ascent serves as an inspiring story in modern English football, proving that with the right vision and unity, smaller clubs can reach new heights.
