Lincoln City’s 2025/26 campaign has officially secured its place as the most significant season in the club’s modern history. As of Monday, 13 April 2026, the Imps sit proudly at the summit of League One with **93 points from 42 matches**. Boasting a formidable record of 28 wins, 9 draws, and only 5 defeats, City have already mathematically secured their place in the Championship.
This achievement marks a historic return to the second tier of English football for the first time in **65 years**.
A Record-Breaking Run
What has captivated the Sincil Bank faithful is not just the promotion itself, but the relentless manner in which it was achieved. Counting the club’s official League One results, the Imps are currently on a staggering **25-match unbeaten league run**.
The side has not tasted defeat in league competition since a 3-2 loss away at Wycombe Wanderers on 22 November 2025. Since that winter afternoon, the results page shows a relentless sequence of wins and draws, culminating in the recent 2-1 home victory over Leyton Orient on 11 April.
Lincoln have been especially dominant in 2026. In this calendar year alone, they have played 19 league matches without a single loss, claiming **15 wins and 4 draws**. Their recent “sprint finish” is even more clinical: their last 10 league outings have produced 9 wins and 1 draw, with 22 goals scored and only 5 conceded.
Statement Victories
The road to the Championship was paved with statement wins:
- **28 February:** A 4-0 hammering of Blackpool.
- **7 March:** A clinical 2-0 away win against promotion rivals Cardiff City.
