Sunderland begin their second season back in the Premier League on the back of one of the promoted classes’ great overachievements — and now comes the hard part.
Régis Le Bris guided the Black Cats to a remarkable seventh-placed finish in 2025/26, but the bookmakers suspect a stiffer test of that progress lies ahead. Here are Sunderland’s latest BoyleSports outright odds for the new campaign.
Sunderland odds to finish in the 2026/27 Premier League top half: Outright odds and predictions
Having gatecrashed the top seven at the first attempt, Sunderland might feel the market owes them more respect. Instead, the layers are wary of second-season syndrome, pricing a repeat top-half finish as far from a given despite the strength Le Bris has assembled on Wearside.

Sunderland odds to be relegated from the 2026/27 Premier League: Outright odds and predictions
Here is where the market’s caution really shows. Despite finishing seventh, Sunderland are among the shortest-priced of the established sides for the drop — a clear nod to the fear that a newly promoted club can come back to the pack in year two. Le Bris will be desperate to prove the doubters wrong.
The three promoted clubs — Hull City, Ipswich Town and Coventry City — remain the firm favourites to go down.

Sunderland odds to finish in the top 6 2026/27
Seventh last season means the top six is not the fantasy for Sunderland that it is for some, but going one better and breaking into the European places would be a considerable ask against deeper-pocketed rivals. The Black Cats are long shots here, sitting behind the traditional order and the more fancied of the chasing pack.

|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 1/20 | 95.24% |
| Man City | 1/7 | 87.50% |

| Chelsea | 1/3 | 75.00% |
| Aston Villa | 5/4 | 44.44% |
| Newcastle | 4/1 | 20.00% |
| Everton | 6/1 | 14.29% |
| Nottingham Forest | 8/1 | 11.11% |
| Crystal Palace | 9/1 | 10.00% |
| Sunderland | 12/1 | 7.69% |
Sunderland Premier League winner odds 2026/27
Sunderland’s wait for a top-flight title stretches back to 1935/36, and a tilt at a seventh championship is not part of the plan in 2026/27. For a club only just re-established in the division, survival and consolidation are the real currencies this season.
The Black Cats are, predictably, deep among the outsiders in the outright market.

| Man City | 11/4 | 26.67% |

| Man Utd | 6/1 | 14.29% |

Sunderland Golden Boot odds: Outright odds and predictions
Sunderland’s only Premier League Golden Boot winner remains Kevin Phillips, who struck an incredible 30 goals in 36 games during the 1999-2000 season. That tally stood as the highest in a 38-game Premier League campaign until Cristiano Ronaldo netted 31 in 2007/08.
Black Cats have no runner in near the head of this year’s market. Their goals were shared widely on the way to seventh, with Brian Brobbey top-scoring on a modest seven and Wilson Isidor and Enzo Le Fée also chipping in.
That spread means no Sunderland forward is priced among the leading names, headed once again by the imperious Erling Haaland.
Sunderland PFA Player of the Year odds: Outright odds and predictions
A Sunderland winner of the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award would be a genuine shock, but the club does at least boast some eye-catching individuals. Granit Xhaka brings Champions League pedigree and leadership to the middle of the park, while teenager Chris Rigg is one of the most promising talents in the country and a name for the Young Player of the Year conversation.
The senior prize, however, is almost certain to stay with the stars of the title contenders, as it does nearly every year.
