On 23 May 2023, Yverdon-Sport secured promotion to the Super League, after drawing against FC Aarau 1–1, thus returning to the top tier for the first time since 2005–06.[1] It would be their only fourth time playing in the first division, following promotions in 1993, 1995, and 2005. Only in 1996 did they manage to remain in the top flight, as such this will be their fifth season in the highest Swiss football league.[2] Three days later, Yverdon-Sport were crowned champions of the 2022–23 Swiss Challenge League after defeating FC Wil 2–0 on the last matchday.
