Following the confirmation of their (inevitable) relegation from the Championship after losing 2-1 to arch rivals Sheffield United in a Steel City derby at Bramall Lane on 22nd February 2026, Sheffield Wednesday now have recorded the earliest ever relegation in league history, having 13 matches left to play. In addition to this, Sheffield Wednesday also face the possibility of suffering a number of other unwanted league records:



• So far, Sheffield Wednesday have managed just one win in their first 33 matches of the 2025/26 season; 2-0 away against Portsmouth on 20th September 2025 in their sixth match of the season. Having played 17 of those 33 matches at home at Hillsborough, Sheffield Wednesday now have six more home matches to avoid becoming the first club in league history to finish a season without winning at home: against Southampton on 28th February 2026, Watford on 10th March 2026, Ipswich Town on 14th March 2026, Leicester City on 6th April 2026, Charlton Athletic on 18th April 2026, before finishing the 2025/26 season on 2nd May 2026 by playing West Bromwich Albion at Hillsborough.

• Sheffield Wednesday’s only win so far during the 2025/26 season also leaves them with the risk of setting the record for achieving fewest wins in a 46-match season. Currently, this record stand at the two wins Rochdale managed during the 1973/74 season of Division Three; 2-1 away against Southend United followed by 3-2 home against Shrewsbury Town.

• Currently standing at a total of -7 points, Sheffield Wednesday need at least 8 points from their last 13 matches to avoid being the first club in league history to finish a league season without a positive point total.

• If they avoid this low-point-record, then Sheffield Wednesday’s next task will be to try avoid the record for finishing a season with league history’s lowest point total. The current record for this comes from Loughborough’s 1899/1900 season and Doncaster Rovers’ 1904/05 season, where both clubs finished their Division Two season with just 8 points (during a time, when two and not three points were awarded for a win). To avoid this record, Sheffield Wednesday need 16 points from their last 13 matches.

• Since starting 2026 with a 3-0 defeat away against Preston North End, Sheffield Wednesday have been on a run of suffering 10 consecutive league defeats. Their next league match, against Norwich City at Carrow Road on 25th February 2026, will determine whether they will also get the record for most consecutive defeats in the Championship, 11, or they will continue to share the current record of 10 consecutive defeats with Rotherham United from their 2016/17 season.

• So far, Sheffield Wednesday have scored just 20 goals in their 33 matches. To avoid the record for having scored the fewest goals in a Championship season, Sheffield Wednesday need to score at least 10 goals in their last 13 matches to beat Bolton Wanderers’ record from the 2018/19 season, where they scored just 29 goals in their 46 Championship matches.

• The 20 goals scored so far by Sheffield Wednesday during the 2025/26 season are divided into eight scored at Hillsborough and 12 on away soils. The record for scoring the fewest goals at home during a league season stand at nine and comes from Fulham’s 2020/21 Premier League season (where they played 19 home matches). This equals another league record of scoring an average of 0.4737 goals per home match. Right now, Sheffield Wednesday’s average stand at a record-low of 0.4706 goals per home match. One goal short of Fulham’s nine-goal overall record, Sheffield Wednesday need to score, at least, three goals in their remaining six home matches to reach a total of, at least, 11 goals and an average of 0.4783 goals per home match.

• Following their point deduction of, at first, 12 points from entering administration and then a further six-point deduction for failing to pay players and staff, Sheffield Wednesday are now on the wrong side of a 36-point gap to Oxford United in second-but-last place in the Championship table. The current record for the highest gap between two clubs placed next to each other in a final table stands at 25 points. This record was set, when Cambridge United finished the 1984/85 season of Division Three in bottom place with 21 points behind Preston North Endwith 46. The record was then equalled 34 seasons later, when Liverpool finished as runners-up in the Premier League with 97 points, 25 more than third-placed Chelsea with 72 (and one less than champions Manchester City with 98).
