Hull City open-top bus parade confirmed

Hull City will celebrate the club's return to the Premier League with an open-top bus parade through the city's streets on Monday, it has been confirmed.

The Tigers beat Middlesbrough 1-0 in the play-off final at Wembley earlier, courtesy of Oli McBurnie's late, close range strike.

The parade will begin in Ferensway at 15:10 BST and tour the city before arriving at City Hall about an hour later.

Entertainment will get under way at 14:00 in Queen Victoria Square, with a big screen showing highlights from the game, the city council said.

The event - featuring interviews with the players and staff - will conclude at 17:15, the council said.

Pitch-side announcer Steve Jordan DJ Eddie Richards will be warming up the crowd for the team's appearance at 16:15.

The bus parade route will be:

• Ferensway (junction with Anlaby Road)
• Beverley Road
• Sutton Road
• Ings Road
• Holderness Road
• Witham
• North Bridge
• Freetown Way
• Ferensway
• Carr Lane
• City Hall (Queen Victoria Square)

Council leader Mike Ross said: "I would like to offer huge congratulations to Hull City on their fantastic victory at Wembley, and on securing their well-deserved return to the Premier League.

"Their journey to this moment has not been an easy one - from being tipped as relegation candidates at the start of the season, to all the uncertainty relating to who they would face in the play-offs at the end - the team have come through it all.

"The club, players and fans have shown the true resilience associated with our city to overcome the odds, and can now prepare for the global audiences the Premier League attracts to further showcase themselves and Hull as a city to the rest of the world."

A number of roads will be closed or have restrictions put in place during the parade, the council said.

The parade will be the second in the city within a year after Super League champions Hull KR celebrated with an event in Queen Victoria Square in October 2025.
