Bradford City's impressive 2025-26 League One campaign comes to an end with a fourth-place finish, setting the stage for a potential promotion push in the 2026-27 season. Graham Alexander's team was a near permanent fixture in the play-off positions throughout the season, with a fourth-place finish on the final day securing their spot in the play-offs. The Bantams' impressive run was expected to be a period of consolidation following their promotion from League Two, but they proved to be anything but. A trip to Wembley was denied them after defeat over two legs to Bolton Wanderers in the play-offs. The YP's chief football writer, Stuart Rayner, looks back on an impressive campaign by the Bantams as well as looking at what needs to be done to put them in a position to progress even further during the 2026-27 campaign.
