Ipswich Town won 2–1 against Sunderland on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played at Ipswich’s home ground on Saturday 22 August 2026. Ipswich scored twice to begin the season with three points, while Sunderland scored once in reply.
Both clubs were among the teams returning to the Premier League for the 2026–27 campaign, making the fixture a meeting between promoted sides. Ipswich’s victory gave them an early advantage in the head-to-head contest.
The result is easy to confuse with Hull City’s 2–0 victory over Manchester United or Leeds United’s 1–0 win at Nottingham Forest. Those were separate opening-round matches.
