Lincoln City vs Cardiff City

Lincoln City take on Cardiff City at the ProAmpac Stadium on Tuesday 16 March, kick-off at 19:45. It's a midweek game, so it'll be a Tuesday night under the lights at Sincil Bank, which is how most of these early-spring fixtures go.

There's a fair bit of context to this one. It's Lincoln's first season back in the Championship after coming up from League One, and Cardiff are one of the established names they're measuring themselves against. The club is currently led by joint head coaches Chris Cohen and Tom Shaw, who took over from Michael Skubala when he moved to Championship side Bristol City. It's their 143rd season in the club's history, and they've been drawing decent crowds this term: the highest home attendance came back in September, when 10,758 fans turned up to see them play Southampton.

If you're still thinking of the ground as Sincil Bank, you're not alone. On 7 July 2026, the club announced a ten-year stadium naming-rights deal, so it's now the ProAmpac Stadium, though the old name still sticks for most of us. It's the same place, just a new title on the front of it.

So, Lincoln City vs Cardiff City on Tuesday 16 March, 19:45, at the ProAmpac Stadium (LN5 8LD). A midweek Championship clash in the first season back.
