Ipswich Town hosted Sunderland at Portman Road in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Portman Road was the venue for Ipswich Town versus Sunderland on Saturday, 22 August 2026. Ipswich were the home side, while Sunderland travelled from the north-east for the match.
Portman Road is Ipswich Town’s long-standing home stadium and is located in Ipswich, Suffolk. It has been associated with the club since the early twentieth century and is one of the grounds represented in the 2026–27 Premier League stadium list.
The main possible confusion is Sunderland’s own Stadium of Light. Sunderland were away in this fixture, so their home ground was not used. Hull’s MKM Stadium and Coventry’s Coventry Building Society Arena belonged to the other promoted clubs.
