Newly-promoted Ipswich have been handed a difficult start to the 2026/27 Premier League season which includes meetings with Manchester United and Liverpool in their first three fixtures.
After an opening game at home to Sunderland on August 22, the Tractor Boys head to Old Trafford on Saturday August 29 before welcoming Andoni Iraola's Liverpool to Portman Road on Saturday September 5.
Ipswich, promoted at the first time of asking last season following their relegation in 2025, and currently without a manager following Kieran McKenna's exit, have the third-most difficult opening fixtures according to the finishing positions of their opponents last season.
Their Boxing Day fixture is at home to Brentford, before another home game against Chelsea on Wednesday December 30 and a trip to the Emirates Stadium to face champions Arsenal on Saturday January 2.
Ipswich finish their campaign at home to Everton on May 30.
All fixtures subject to change.
