Has any team got 100 points in the Championship?
A look at whether any team has reached 100 points in the EFL Championship, plus the clubs that have come closest and what it takes to hit that mark.
The EFL Championship is one of the toughest leagues in Europe. Even the best teams rarely breeze through it. Reaching 100 points in the Premier League is difficult, but reaching 100 points in the EFL Championship is arguably even harder.
It means consistency across a much longer season and the ability to keep momentum going when the fixtures feel endless. Only a few sides have ever hit that level.
So, who has actually managed it?
Has any team ever reached 100 points in the EFL Championship?
Yes. A handful of Championship teams have cracked the 100-point mark since the league was rebranded in 2004, but only one side did it with a number that still stands alone.
Reading – 106 points (2005/06)
A dominant campaign under Steve Coppell. Reading finished on 106 points, which remains the highest total in EFL Championship history. They lost just twice across the entire season, controlled matches with ease and never looked like slowing down.
Newcastle United – 102 points (2009/10)
A squad far too strong for the division finally played like it. Newcastle finished on 102 points, powered by consistency at home and a core team of players who could easily have played in the Premier League.
Leicester City – 102 points (2013/14)
Before the title win came the promotion season that set everything in motion. Leicester finished on 102 points, playing confident, front-foot football and showing the kind of rhythm that teams chase for years.
Reaching 100 points in the EFL Championship is rare for a reason. 46 matches leave no hiding places. It takes depth, squad balance, control and a lot of luck to get anywhere near the three-digit total.
What about unbeaten seasons?
An unbeaten season in the Championship is incredibly rare. The division’s scale and chaos usually catch teams eventually. Long away trips, stacked fixtures and physical opponents make it almost impossible to navigate 46 matches without dropping at least one.
Some promoted sides have lost only a handful of matches, but going the full year without a single defeat takes resilience on a level most squads never reach. Even Reading’s 106-point record included a few bumps.
What do EFL Championship stats tell us about those teams?
Teams that approach 100 points usually show similar trends across a season. They have strong numbers in:
Goals scored
Elite attacking output spreads the pressure across the squad.
Goals conceded
Almost every 100-point team keeps things tight for long stretches.
Control of matches
Their EFL Championship stats usually show high territory, strong shot totals and a steady flow of chances created.
Consistency
This might be the biggest factor. Over 46 games, even one bad month can ruin a promotion charge.
When a team stays stable through winter, avoids the big slump and keeps picking up points when performances dip, the numbers can add up quickly.
