Winning runs in the ISL have often resulted in league titles, if not top finishes in the table. Bengaluru FC are the only club to have embarked on two such streaks over the course of their career. In this article, we will take a look at the five longest winning runs in the Indian top flight.

Bengaluru FC pulled off a six-match run in 2018/19, a year after their five-match streak. Both their first and last wins of this spell came against Pune City, which has since been discontinued. As a result of their impressive form, they finished at the top of the table that season.
Jamshedpur FC – 7 games
The Men of Steel pulled off a sensational run in 2020/21 en route to their maiden ISL title. With Owen Coyle leading a team that consisted of Greg Stewart as their talisman, they won seven straight games against top opposition which included Mumbai City FC, ATK Mohun Bagan, Hyderabad FC and Odisha FC.
