How the warm-ups are going

The friendly results so far, before the league gets going. It steps aside once the real games begin on 21 August.

The 2026/27 season

Ipswich are back in the Premier League, and it starts at Portman Road.

Gary O'Neil takes charge for the top-flight return after Kieran McKenna led the club up from the Championship at the first time of asking. The summer has brought real spending, and the opening day brings Sunderland to Suffolk.

How 2025/26 finished

Ipswich answered relegation with an immediate return, finishing as Championship runners-up and going up automatically. Here is the season in numbers.

2nd
Final position
Automatic promotion as Championship runners-up.

Points
Taken from 46 games across the campaign.
23

This is the 2025/26 Championship record. The 2026/27 Premier League season has not kicked off yet, so every top-flight figure for this campaign still sits at zero.

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.

Done deals

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 closed on 1 September, so this is the final summer picture.

Figures are approximate and reflect widely reported numbers rather than confirmed fees. The window closed on 1 September, 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.

The season in numbers

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.

The live table, form guide and per-player counts only become honest once there is real football to count, so they sit at zero for now. From kickoff on 22 August, this section fills in game by game.

Until then the official Premier League club page is the best place to watch Ipswich's 2026/27 numbers land in real time.

The last eight seasons

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.

All-time

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.

203Record league goalscorerRay Crawford, 1958 to 1969
741Most appearancesMick Mills, 1966 to 1982
10–0Record winv Floriana, European Cup, 1962

709Bobby Robson's gamesManager from 1969 to 1982, the club's longest reign
1878FoundedPlaying at Portman Road since 1884

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.

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.

Honours

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.

1 First Division title Champions of England in 1961-62, at the first attempt in the top flight
1 FA Cup Winners in 1978, beating Arsenal 1-0 in the final
1 UEFA Cup Winners in 1981, past AZ Alkmaar over two legs
Several Second-tier titles Including 1960-61, 1967-68 and 1991-92, each earning a return to the top flight

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.
