Team news, injuries and suspensions

There is nothing to report yet. Ipswich have not kicked a competitive ball in 2026/27, so the panel below is an honest holding state rather than a live list. The first confirmed line-up will land about an hour before the opener.

The transfer window

Every confirmed move so far, arriving on the left and leaving on the right. Fees are the widely reported figures rather than official ones, and the window is still open, so expect more before deadline day.

Figures are approximate and reflect widely reported numbers rather than confirmed fees. The window remains open, so more business is likely, and some names doing the rounds, such as Daizen Maeda, could not be fully confirmed at the time of writing. For the official version of any deal, check itfc.co.uk.

Where to get confirmed team news

When the team sheet drops, it comes from here first. These are the accounts that confirm it rather than guess at it.

The season in numbers

Every chart here comes from the same feed behind our live scores: goals by minute, home and away, the shapes they set up in, the full squad’s numbers and the head-to-head record. This season fills in live from the opening weekend; last season is settled.

How the warm-ups are going

The friendly results so far, before the league gets going. It steps aside for the live table and stats the moment the season kicks off on 21 August.

The 2026/27 season

The 2026/27 Premier League season has not kicked off yet, so every count here is genuinely zero rather than missing. Gary O'Neil's first campaign back in the top flight opens at home to Sunderland on Saturday 22 August, and the numbers below start filling in from that opening whistle.

Recent seasons

Ipswich have travelled a long way in a short time. A relegation in 2019 dropped them into the third tier, where they spent four seasons before back-to-back promotions carried them from League One to the Premier League. Here is where each completed league campaign finished, division included, so the lower-tier years are shown honestly.

The 2019/20 League One season was cut short by the Covid-19 shutdown and the final standings were settled on a points-per-game basis, so no full points total is shown for that year. Everything else is the confirmed 46 or 38-game record. For the complete season-by-season breakdown, see the sources at the foot of this tab.

The record books

Ipswich are a club that has been champions of England, won the FA Cup and lifted a European trophy, all from a ground in the middle of a Suffolk town. These are the long-standing club records and honours that are firmly set down in the history books.

The 10-0 win over Floriana in the 1962 European Cup is the club's record competitive victory. The record league win is 7-0, achieved three times in the top two divisions. Transfer records change with the market, so the current record signing and sale figures are best checked on Transfermarkt, linked below.

Where the full numbers live

This tab keeps to the figures that are well established. For the complete, live and per-player detail, including every appearance, minute and goal, these are the places that keep the full record.

The trophy cabinet

Ipswich are one of a small group of clubs to have won the league, the FA Cup and a major European trophy. These are the honours that sit in the cabinet at Portman Road.

Honours listed are the club's major titles as recorded across the Premier League, Sky Sports and Wikipedia. Ipswich have also risen through the divisions many times, most recently the back-to-back promotions of 2022-23 and 2023-24. For the full record, see the official club site below.

Fan channels and watchalongs

Ipswich Town does not have the giant fan-media operations that some of the biggest clubs do, but there is a genuine and long-running independent scene around the Town. One of the cards below is the club's own channel and the rest are run by supporters, so their opinions are their own. Where we are not certain of an exact YouTube channel, the link points to a search rather than guessing at it.

Buying tickets for Portman Road

Everything for a game at Portman Road runs through the official club site, from single match tickets to memberships and hospitality. Demand for a first season back in the Premier League is high, so bigger games can sell to members and season ticket holders first. Availability and prices vary through the season and change game by game, so always confirm the current details on the official pages.

Ticket prices and availability are set by the club and move through the season, so treat anything here as a pointer and confirm on the official site before you travel.

Getting to the ground and parking

Portman Road is one of the easier grounds in the country to reach, because it sits in the middle of town rather than out on the edge. Ipswich is not on the London Underground network, so the train and the local roads are the main ways in.
