Ipswich Town scored twice in a 2–1 opening-weekend win over Sunderland in the 2026–27 Premier League.
The match took place on Saturday 22 August 2026, with Ipswich hosting Sunderland. Ipswich’s victory was significant because the club was beginning its first Premier League campaign after returning to the top flight.
Ipswich were one of three promoted teams in the season’s division. Coventry City and Hull City were the other promoted clubs, and all three appeared in opening-round fixtures. Coventry visited Arsenal, while Hull hosted Manchester United.
The 2–1 scoreline gave Ipswich three points and Sunderland none. The result can be distinguished from Hull City’s 2–0 win over Manchester United and Coventry City’s 3–0 defeat at Arsenal, two other matches involving promoted clubs during the same round.
