Sheffield Wednesday parade: Times, road closures and everything you need to know about huge promotion parade

The Owls defied all odds on Monday and rocketed into the Championship at Wembley after Josh Windass saved them the pain of penalty shootouts by scoring a stunning goal with just six seconds to go in extra time.

Today (May 31), the players are coming home and they want their fans out to celebrate with them. A huge celebration parade featuring an open topped bus with the whole squad will hit the city centre this afternoon.

It comes just weeks after Sheffield United had their own party in the streets in what has proven to be an unbelievable year of football for the Steel City.

Here’s how you can get involved in the promotion party.

When and where is Sheffield Wednesday's parade to celebrate promotion to Championship?

The Sheffield Wednesday’s Championship parade 2023 will kick off at 5.30pm in the city centre starting at Devonshire Green.

The length of Division Street will be made into a fan zone and an open topped bus with all the team on board for supporters to follow will leave from the park at 5.30pm and arrive outside the Town Hall at around 6pm – 6.15pm.

There will be a presentation outside the Town Hall before the squad heads inside for a civic presentation, which the public will not have access to.

Organisers are reminding fans to listen to all instructions from stewards and not to follow the bus too closely, as this is not only extremely dangerous but at the least will delay proceedings for the whole evening’s festivities.
