About Sunderland

Sunderland were founded in 1879 and won six English league titles in the pre-war era, a record that makes them one of the most decorated clubs never fully given their due in modern football's popular memory. The Black Cats nickname is said to trace back to the Black Cat Battery, a Napoleonic-era gun emplacement on the banks of the River Wear near where the Stadium of Light now stands.

After eight years outside the top flight, Sunderland returned to the Premier League in 2025, beating Sheffield United 2-1 in the Championship play-off final at Wembley through a stoppage-time winner from teenager Tom Watson — a fitting end to their long wait to come home.

Sunderland records & quirks

  • In 1973, second-tier Sunderland beat all-conquering Leeds United 1-0 in the FA Cup final, one of the competition's great upsets.
  • Roker Park's record attendance was 75,118, for an FA Cup replay against Derby County in March 1933.
  • Sunderland's biggest-ever league win, 9-1 over Newcastle United in December 1908, remains their record victory.
  • The 2018 Netflix documentary "Sunderland 'Til I Die" chronicled the club's relegation to League One.

About Stadium of Light

Sunderland's home rises on the north bank of the River Wear, close to the city centre, a large and passionate stadium that also hosts occasional stadium concerts. The riverside setting offers pleasant walks, with the city's bars and restaurants across the river in the centre. St Peter's and Stadium of Light Metro stations both serve the ground, on the Tyne and Wear Metro to Newcastle and the coast. Staying centrally keeps transport and nightlife close, with the Metro across the river to the stadium.
