Teams to have achieved 100 points in a single English Football League season

Lincoln City have become the latest club to reach a century of points in an EFL season.

Michael Skubala's side have been imperious in League One this season and they reached the 100-point mark with a 4-3 victory over Wycombe Wanderers in their final home game of the 2025/26 campaign.

The Imps have followed Birmingham City, who set a new points record total across England's top four tiers when they won League One last season.

Burnley, Fulham and Plymouth Argyle are the only clubs to record more than one 100-point season.

Fulham achieved their first in 1998/99 with 101 points to win Division Two and the Cottagers amassed another three-figure total two seasons later as Jean Tigana's men equalled their record points tally to claim the Division One title.

Plymouth first added their name to the centurions list in 2002 as they chalked up 102 points to be crowned champions of Division Three and the Pilgrims reached 101 points in 2023 to topple Ipswich Town and Sheffield Wednesday in pursuit of the League One title.

Manchester City's class of 2017/18 remain the only team to achieve 100 points in the top-flight.
