Sheffield Wednesday have been relegated from the Championship with 13 games remaining, marking the earliest relegation in English Football League history. The administration-hit Owls were deducted 18 points this season and confirmed their drop after a 2-1 defeat against city rivals Sheffield United at Bramall Lane, leaving them on -7 points.

A chaotic summer saw owner Dejphon Chansiri fail to pay wages on time, triggering registration embargoes and the departure of key players like Josh Windass and Michael Smith. The club entered administration in October, with manager Danny Rohl quitting before the season began. Wednesday have managed just one win all season and now face 10 consecutive league defeats.

With a preferred bidder announced in December but no completed takeover, Wednesday's future remains uncertain. The club now faces a return to League One, having not played in the third tier since 2005. Fans hope the incoming ownership will stabilize the club after what has been a disastrous campaign both on and off the pitch.
