St Johnstone have confirmed their return to the Scottish Premiership after winning the second-tier title with games to spare.

St Johnstone secured the Scottish Championship title and an immediate return to the top flight following a successful campaign. The Perth side established an early lead in the division that they maintained throughout the season. This title win marks the first time the club has reached the Premiership since its relegation in the previous year.

Managerial stability and a consistent defensive record proved decisive for the team.

The club has now begun preparations for the 2026-27 Premiership season, per STV News.

Supporters have described the campaign as the most successful period for the club since the era of former manager Tommy Wright. St Johnstone players celebrated the achievement with fans at McDiarmid Park after their status as champions was mathematically confirmed. The club will receive the trophy during their final home fixture of the current season.
