With the new Premier League kick-off fast approaching, here's what's new for the 2024/25 season.
New fixtures
Ipswich Town's return to the top flight after 22 years means there are FOUR new Premier League fixtures to look forward to.
For the first time in the competition's history, Ipswich will face Brighton & Hove Albion. The first meeting will take place on 14 September at Amex Stadium, with the reverse fixture at Portman Road on 14 January 2025.
Former Tractor Boy Adam Webster may be involved for the Seagulls, having featured 51 times for Ipswich between 2016 and 2018.
On 26 October, Brentford host Ipswich, with these sides meeting for the first time since 2019, when Brentford ran out 2-0 winners in the Championship. This will be Ipswich's first-ever visit to the Gtech Community Stadium.
The reverse fixture is on 10 May 2025 in East Anglia.
Ipswich will also come up against AFC Bournemouth for the first time in the competition, with the first meeting taking place at Portman Road on 7 December. The two clubs will then play at Vitality Stadium on 1 April 2025.
The two teams last faced each other in the Championship in 2014/15, with both matches ending in draws.
A week later, Ipswich take on Wolverhampton Wanderers for the first time in the Premier League. These two sides faced each other last season, with Kieran McKenna's side coming out on top in a 3-2 EFL Cup win. The reverse fixture at Portman Road is on 5 April 2025.
