Blackpool have taken seven points from their opening three League One matches this season, their best start since winning their opening three in 2019-20. The Seasiders sit third in the table with seven points from four games, claiming a goal difference of +4 after scoring eight and conceding four, and are just three points behind leaders Huddersfield Town ahead of their away fixture at Reading on 2026-09-05.
Their seven points from three matches represent the club’s best return since the 2019-20 campaign when they also won their opening three fixtures. That strong beginning has translated into a solid early-season position, with Blackpool now level on points with several playoff contenders and within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots.
Elsewhere in the division, Sheffield Wednesday recorded their first seven-goal win since April 2003 with a 7-2 victory over Bromley. Barnsley’s Reyes Cleary leads the league in assists since the start of last season with 14, while Stockport County’s Kyle Wootton has amassed 25 goal contributions (21 goals, four assists) in the same period. Dom Ballard and Lorent Tolaj follow closely with 27 and 26 goal contributions respectively.
Joe Taylor of Huddersfield Town has netted 14 goals in the Football League in 2026, more than any other player, after scoring twice against Cambridge United. His form has been instrumental in Huddersfield’s early-season surge, which sees them currently topping the League One table.
The team will look to maintain their momentum when they travel to face Reading on 2026-09-05, a side currently sitting 14th in the standings. Fans can track the squad’s progress and upcoming fixtures via the club’s official fixtures and standings pages.
Blackpool will aim to extend their unbeaten run as they prepare for the trip to the Madejski Stadium, where a win could see them move into second place depending on other results.
