The England national team has now kept 10 consecutive clean sheets in competitive fixtures, equalling the European record set by Spain from 2014 to 2016.
The Three Lions completed their perfect 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying run with a comfortable 2–0 victory over Albania on Sunday evening. A brace from Harry Kane lifted Thomas Tuchel’s side to its ninth and final win in 2025.
In fact, England only stumbled once this calendar year, falling to Senegal in an international friendly during the June international window. Otherwise, the team has executed a near-flawless run, one supported by a disciplined defence.
The last time the Three Lions conceded a goal in a competitive match came all the way back in Oct. 2024. Finland centre back Arttu Hoskonen found the back of the net in the dying moments of what wound up being a 3–1 victory for England.
Since that goal beat Dean Henderson between the posts, England’s backline have kept 10 clean sheets in a row in competitive matches. The streak matches Spain’s record, which they have held for nearly a decade until Tuchel’s men matched it this November.
