Lincoln City on the longest unbeaten run of the season | OneFootball

Lincoln City put four past 10-man Northampton Town on Tuesday night to not only increase the gap over third-place Bolton Wanderers but also extend the record unbeaten streak for this season.

The Imps haven't lost in the league for 89 days, a 3-2 defeat away to Wycombe Wanderers after initially fighting back from two goals down only to lose to Jack Grimmer's effort late on.

Since then Lincoln have gone 15 league games unbeaten, the longest run any team in the top four tiers of English football has managed in the 2025/26 campaign.

In that run, Lincoln have drawn four times while winning the remaining 11, including big wins over Plymouth Argyle and Peterborough United.

The previous longest unbeaten run this campaign before Lincoln's win midweek was set by League Two promotion chasers Cambridge United. The U's managed to go 14 undefeated from November 8th (a goalless draw away to Salford City) until losing on the road against Harrogate Town at the start of this month.

Cambridge's run was also matched this week by any fourth tier side, Bromley. The Ravens began with a 3-1 win at home to Crawley Town at the start of December and on Tuesday they drew 1-1 at home to Cheltenham Town. 

However, Bromley's next game is also away to Harrogate Town... perhaps the Sulphurites stop another 14-game unbeaten run this season.

Only one other team is really close to Lincoln City's 15-game undefeated league streak: League One leaders Cardiff City. The Bluebirds have gone 12 without defeat since a 1-0 win over Exeter City on Boxing Day.

Intriguingly, Cardiff also host Lincoln City on March 7th. Will their respective undefeated streaks still be going by then?
