Coverage & calculations

Only completed Premier League matches in 2026/27 count. Results follow the date played, starting with the opening league fixture. Wins accumulate until the first draw or defeat; the run then stays closed, even if the team wins later. Cup and European matches are excluded. Scores are shown from the tracked club’s perspective. Historical rows show verified opening-win totals and the first result that ended each run, rather than reconstructed match logs. Premier League records cover the competition since 1992; earlier English top-flight seasons are excluded. Current results use the existing league import and refresh after a successful import.

Historical records verified 6 Oct 2026. Premier League era only, since 1992.
