Sheffield Wednesday were placed in administration (Begbies Traynor) on 24 October 2025 with an HMRC winding-up petition imminent, and received an automatic 12-point deduction in the Championship. A further 6 points deducted in December 2025 for missed payments to players, staff, HMRC and other clubs is a separate sanction and not counted here.
Owner at the time: Dejphon Chansiri
Outcome: Survived. Arise Capital Partners (David Storch) completed the takeover on 2 May 2026; the EFL waived the 15-point exit deduction and imposed budget restrictions for two seasons. Wednesday were relegated to League One in 2025-26.
