The streets of Leeds were yellow, white and blue until the early hours as players partied into the night.
Daniel Farke's side had their destiny in their own hands on Monday, knowing a win and a Sheffield United slip up was all that was needed for a return to the big time.
And as the Blades failed to get a result against Burnley, Leeds were confirmed as a Premier League side once more. Sky Sports cameras cut back to Elland Road - and front and centre was summer signing Largie Ramazani.
Still decked out in his full kit, unlike other team-mates who had taken their time to get changed, he danced in front of the camera before swinging Champagne.
The players had congregated in the Billy Bremner Suite inside the ground to watch the evening match - and cameras caught the moment their spot in the Premier League was confirmed.
Ramazani, who was once part of Manchester United's academy, then acquired a microphone and started speaking to some of his team-mates.
"It's an unbelievable day. I'm really happy, I just want to enjoy now," Junior Firpo said. While Harry Gray, great-nephew of Leeds icon Eddie and brother of Spurs star Archie, joked: "Leeds are falling apart again, Leeds are falling apart!"
"The mic's not working mate," Patrick Bamford joked as Ramazani made his way over.
Celebrations spilled out off Elland Road where hundreds of fans had gathered. Images on Instagram showed Ethan Ampadu pretending to smoke a flare.
While Dan James led the Leeds faithful in song.
Other players had made their way back onto the pitch where they posed for promotion snaps - including Pascal Struijk who donned a retro Lucas Radebe jersey.
"I'm lost for words, which doesn't happen that often. You could see from this morning that the atmosphere was amazing," Daniel Farke gushed after the full-time whistle.
"94 points at this stage of the season is unbelievable. The players should celebrate, our supporters should celebrate and we will definitely make sure that Easter Monday lasts for one or two more days.

"It's difficult on such an emotional day to reflect too much but it was a long road. It's not easy to stabilise the ship after relegation, and to deal with the lost important players and a hangover from relegation.
"I just want right now beer after beer, Champagne after Champagne and don't bother me about football for a few days."
