What is the longest a team has gone without winning a league game at home?

Burnley are on the verge of breaking an English football record after going 377 days without a home league victory. Their next match against Portsmouth on October 31 could see them surpass Sheffield Wednesday’s previous mark of 376 days without a home win in the top four divisions, set between April 2025 and May 2026.

Since their last home league win—a 2-0 victory over Leeds United in October 2025—the Clarets have played 21 matches, recording just 10 draws and 11 losses, including a recent run of six straight home games without a win in the Championship this season. Their struggles extend beyond league matches, with defeats in FA Cup and Carabao Cup ties at Turf Moor, though they did secure a penalty shootout win over Notts County in the latter competition earlier this year.

The upcoming clash with Portsmouth, managed by John Mousinho, will determine whether Burnley’s drought becomes the longest in English football history for a team still competing in the top tiers.
