Wolves’ promotion was assured after Brentford grabbed a 94th-minute equaliser at Fulham.
Wanderers have won 28 of their 42 league games this season and lost just six.
Fulham’s 1-1 draw means that now only Cardiff can theoretically catch the Sky Bet Championship runaway leaders.
Wolves would have ended their six-year exile with a victory over Birmingham tomorrow.

But now they can relax knowing they will be at English football’s top table regardless of how results go.
Many have criticised big-spending Wolves and their close association with super agent Jorge Mendes.
Rivals were unhappy about the relationship, with Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani saying Wolves’ transfer policy was “not legal and fair”.
But no one can deny their star power on the pitch – reinforced most strongly through the mightily impressive Portuguese sensation Ruben Neves.

His astonishing strike in the 2-0 win over Derby on Thursday will be a strong contender for goal of the season.
Unsurprisingly, Twitter was awash with congratulatory messages tonight, with Neves himself posting a link to a flashback video of their season captioned “Premier League”.
And the club shared a video of the players celebrating together tonight after Brentford sub Neal Maupay scored a late equaliser against Fulham tonight.
Great to see
back in the premier league. I think they will more than hold their own. Stand out team in the championship and with Neves pulling the strings best player I've seen in a Wolves shirt for many years @Wolves #wwfc
