Ipswich Town scored its first Premier League opening-weekend goal against Sunderland in 2026–27.
Ipswich hosted Sunderland on Saturday 22 August 2026 and won 2–1. The fixture marked Ipswich’s first match back in the Premier League after a one-year absence from the division.
The result made Ipswich one of three promoted clubs to win on the opening weekend. Hull City defeated Manchester United 2–0, while Leeds United won 1–0 at Nottingham Forest. Coventry City were the only promoted side to lose.
The wording refers to Ipswich’s first goal of this Premier League campaign, not the club’s first goal in its entire top-flight history. The match was one of three Saturday fixtures scheduled for 15:00 BST.
