Ipswich Town Reveal Complete 2025/26 Championship Fixture List — Fans Eagerly Scan Dates for Key Clashes
The wait is finally over! Ipswich Town have officially released their full 2025/26 Championship fixture list, and excitement is already sweeping across East Anglia. After a thrilling return to the Championship, fans have been counting down the days to see exactly when and where their beloved Blues will take on their rivals this season.
With anticipation sky-high, the newly announced schedule offers supporters a chance to start planning those crucial away days, mark down the biggest matches at Portman Road, and imagine the twists and turns that lie ahead in what promises to be a fiercely competitive campaign.
The season opener is set to be a true statement game, as Ipswich kick off their campaign at home against recently relegated Premier League side Burnley. It’s a fixture that immediately sets the tone — a challenging test against a club eager to bounce straight back to the top flight. Fans can expect a packed Portman Road, filled with noise and passion as Kieran McKenna’s men aim to start strong.
The Tractor Boys will then face a tricky early run of games, including clashes against promotion hopefuls Norwich City, West Brom, and Sunderland all within the first two months. The East Anglian derby against Norwich — one of the most eagerly anticipated fixtures in English football — has already got supporters buzzing. The first leg of this fierce rivalry will be at Carrow Road in October, with the return match in Ipswich set for March, a date many will already be circling in red.
The festive period offers a demanding yet potentially rewarding set of matches. Ipswich will play three games in a week over Christmas, including a crucial home fixture against Sheffield United on Boxing Day, followed by away trips to Cardiff City and Bristol City to close out 2025. The run-in to the new year could be a decisive stretch for the club’s promotion hopes.
Another key spell to watch is April, with back-to-back encounters against Middlesbrough, Stoke City, and Watford — all expected to be battling for top-six spots. A strong finish during these crunch fixtures could catapult Ipswich firmly into playoff contention, or even push them towards an automatic promotion place.
Throughout the season, fans will also be treated to Friday night under-the-lights games, midweek clashes that bring electric atmospheres, and the chance to see new signings showcase their talents. With Kieran McKenna continuing to shape a young, hungry squad, hopes are high that Ipswich can build on the momentum they’ve carried since their League One promotion.
Ipswich supporters are known for their unwavering loyalty and passionate traveling support. Expect trains and motorways to be awash with blue and white as fans plan to follow their team to every corner of the country. Social media has already exploded with predictions, travel plans, and bold calls on how many points the Blues will pick up during certain spells.
With the fixture list now public, the countdown to August’s big kickoff feels more real than ever. From promotion dreams to derby day bragging rights, this season promises to be full of drama, tension, and unforgettable moments.
Check out the full 2025/26 Championship schedule now and start planning — because for Ipswich Town and their faithful, the journey is just as thrilling as the destination.
