Oxford United's footballing heroes will be saluted by fans tonight.
Supporters have been invited to gather in Broad Street where they will be able to show their appreciation at 7.15pm.
The players and management will start their parade at the Kassam Stadium before moving through Cowley Road, The Plain, Longwall Street, South Parks Road and Parks Road.
They will spend 30 minutes in Broad Street, which will be closed to traffic between 5.30pm and 8pm so fans can congregate in safety.
Keith Mitchell, leader of Oxfordshire County Council, said: "Oxford deserves and requires a football league side - not just because of the size of the place but because of the obvious depth and breadth of support and enthusiasm in the city and beyond for the local football team.
"In excess of 30,000 Oxford United supporters were in attendance at Wembley yesterday for the 3-1 win over York City.
"Regaining league status is an achievement worthy of some serious celebration and I am sure everyone will enjoy themselves."
