Which scoreline did Ipswich Town record against Sunderland in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?

Ipswich Town beat Sunderland 2–1 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

The match was played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at Portman Road, Ipswich’s home ground. It marked Ipswich’s first Premier League match after returning to the top flight and was one of three games scheduled for the traditional 15:00 Saturday slot.

Ipswich were one of three promoted clubs in the 2026–27 Premier League, alongside Coventry City and Hull City. Their victory meant that Ipswich began their return with three points, while Sunderland’s first match ended in defeat.

The score should not be confused with Hull City’s 2–0 victory over Manchester United or Nottingham Forest’s 0–1 loss to Leeds United. Those matches were also played on the same Saturday, but Ipswich versus Sunderland was the only one that finished 2–1.
