They are set to be joined by Sheffield United, whose 2-0 victory over Ipswich Town left them three points clear of Leeds United, with a goal difference 13 better over the Yorkshire side and just one match remaining.
Leeds are guaranteed a place in the Championship promotion play-offs for the final promotion place, along with West Brom and Aston Villa.
Three teams are vying for the sixth and final play-off spot.
Derby County are in pole position but can still be overtaken by Middlesbrough and Bristol City.
Norwich fans can now look forward to 09:00 BST on 13 June, when the fixtures for the 2019/20 season, starting on 10 August, will be released on premierleague.com.
