What was the score in Ipswich Town versus Sunderland on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?
Answer
Ipswich Town 2–1 Sunderland
Ipswich Town beat Sunderland 2–1 on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The fixture was played on Saturday, 22 August 2026, at Portman Road. It was an all-promoted-club contest: Ipswich had returned to the Premier League after one season away, while Sunderland were also beginning life back in the division.
A 2–1 score means Ipswich collected all three points while Sunderland scored once. It was one of the Saturday fixtures in the opening round and formed part of a particularly notable weekend for the newly promoted sides.
The match should not be mixed up with Sunderland’s later fixtures against Arsenal or Manchester City. Opening-weekend questions refer specifically to the first round played from 21 to 24 August.
