Lincoln City began their first season as an EFL Championship side following a promotion from League One. Their early campaign included a 2-1 loss to Middlesbrough and a home fixture against Portsmouth FC.

Following a two-game winning streak, the club played to a goalless draw against Blackburn Rovers at ProAmpac Stadium. Despite controlling much of the early play and facing a ten-man Blackburn side after a yellow card to Tom Atcheson, Lincoln City was unable to secure a victory.
