Burnley will set an unwanted English football record if they fail to beat Portsmouth in their next home match on Saturday, 31 October.

The Clarets have not won a home league match since beating Leeds United 2-0 in the Premier League on 18 October, 2025.

Sheffield Wednesday currently hold the record for the longest time a team in England's top four divisions have gone without winning a home league match.

The Owls failed to win a league game at home for 376 days between April 2025 and May 2026.

Burnley's match against Pompey in the Championship later this month comes 377 days after that win over Leeds. Should the Clarets fail to beat John Mousinho's side, they will hold the outright record.

The record does not include teams that have dropped out of the English Football League and returned to the EFL since.

Only teams to have been on a winless run while in one of England's top four leagues are considered.

Following that win over Leeds 12 months ago, Burnley have played 21 home league matches. The last six of those were in this season's Championship, with the previous 15 coming in last season's Premier League.

Of those 21, Burnley have been held to 10 draws and lost the other 11 fixtures.

Burnley did win in the FA Cup at Turf Moor in January 2026, beating Championship side Millwall in the third round. They were then knocked out in the fourth round by Mansfield Town, again at Turf Moor, meaning another home defeat for the Clarets.

In this season's Carabao Cup first round, Burnley beat Notts County but required a penalty shootout to do so.
