Sunderland Are Back: The Return of the Tyne–Wear Derby After 10 Years 🔴⚪⚫

After eight long years away, Sunderland are back in the Premier League — and the Tyne–Wear derby has finally returned to the top flight after roughly a decade. In this LEGO football story, we break down how Sunderland fell to League One, rose from the ashes through a dramatic Wembley play-off final, and stunned everyone in their comeback season. We relive both 2025–26 derbies against Newcastle United, the historic league double, an eleven-game unbeaten derby run, and a remarkable seventh-place finish that booked a Europa League spot. One of the greatest promoted-team seasons in Premier League history — told in LEGO. 🔴⚪⚫ 👉 Who do you think owns the north-east now? Let me know in the comments.
