Sixty-five years is a long wait

There’ll be plenty of Lincoln fans who’ve never seen their club play at Championship level.

And really, that’s the fun of it. New teams coming to town, away days that haven’t been on the calendar for decades and a proper step up from League One. Some weeks the Imps will look completely at home, on others it might be a bit more of a reality check.

That’s where Match Bingo fits quite nicely. Have it on alongside the football and suddenly you’re following the little bits of the game as well as the score. After waiting 65 years for Championship football, you may as well squeeze everything you can out of it.

FAQs

1961. The 2026/27 campaign is the club's first season at this level in more than sixty years, following the League One title.
Sincil Bank in Lincoln, the club's home since 1895. It holds around 10,000, making it the smallest ground in the division.
The team section sets Lincoln City against the other 23 Championship clubs across goals scored, goals conceded, points won and discipline, so you can read the season without working through the full league table.

Match Bingo Game Modes Explained

There are three game types on Match Bingo and they behave less alike than they sound. Live Games follow a real fixture as it's played. Bingoals swaps the fifteen events for fifteen teams and needs every one of them to score. Quick Games run every few minutes on football from last season, so there's nothing to wait for.

Does a New Signing Change Anything on Your Match Bingo Card?

Deadline day comes and goes and your card stays exactly as it was. Match Bingo cards are built from things that happen in a match, goals and corners and fouls, rather than from the players who make them happen. No name on a teamsheet reaches a single square. Here's what a signing does change, and what it doesn't.

Is Match Bingo Safe? Licensing, Fair Play and Player Protection

Two things usually sit behind that question: whether the company is real and regulated, and whether the game itself can be got at by somebody sharper than you. Match Bingo is operated by RTSB Limited under Gambling Commission account 51467, which takes about a minute to check. The second answer is duller: there's nothing to press.

What Is Football Bingo?

A card holds fifteen things that can happen in a football match, and each square marks itself the moment its event happens in the fixture you've chosen. You buy before kick-off, then you go and watch the game. Complete a horizontal row of five before anybody else and you take the fixed prize for that tier.
