Town Women Host Forest On Opening Day
Thursday, 30th Jul 2026 10:10

Ipswich Town Women will get their 2026/27 Barclays Women’s Super League 2 campaign under way with a home game against Nottingham Forest at the JobServe Community Stadium on Sunday 6th September.

The much-changed Blues, who are playing all their pre-season friendlies behind closed doors this summer, then travel to Southampton the following week before a trip to Leicester City on Sunday 20th September and then a home match with newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers.

October features a visit to Sheffield United on Sunday 4th October, then following a break, they host Sunderland on Sunday 25th October.

There are similarly only two games in November, Bristol City at home on Sunday 8th, then Watford away the following week.

After that, there’s no game until Sunday 20th December when David Wright’s side make the trip to Durham.

That means the Blues will have gone more than two months without a home league game when they take on Newcastle United in Colchester on Sunday 10th January.

The season finishes with a home game against Southampton on Sunday 4th May and on the final day - which is still to be confirmed - a visit to Wolves.

In their second season in WSL2, Town Women, who are set to confirm significant new outside investment prior to the start of the season, will be aiming higher than last season’s target of survival.

Mark added 11:28 - Jul 30 Fingers crossed for a successful season. I will go to any matches moved to Portman Road. The men's team only play once at home in August and once in September, so let's make more use of our home stadium.

Brogan55 added 11:30 - Jul 30 I still cannot understand why we play the matches at Colchester.There are only 11 matches.I know that many matches for the men will be moved to Sunday,but there are ways round it . I wish the woman all the best for the season.It would be great if both teams stabilised this season.I think that will be great.

Looking forward to the new season (for both women and men). Really hope the women get at least the top half this season and with the signings and retentions they have made this summer im sure they will get that. Just remember the league has been expanded this season so 2 go down instead of just 1 like last year (although we cleared last spot last season so im sure we are good)

I hope more games will be played at PR this year and I know both Ashton and Harris have confirmed that will be the case, they were probably waiting on the fixture release for both before working out and confirming which games can be played at which ground

armchaircritic59 added 18:43 - Jul 30 Looking forward to it all. Should be an exciting season. Improvement on the last part of last season could well see us having more concerns with the top area of the table rather than the bottom. As an aside, the thought of Southampton playing Nottingham Forest ( the Tricky trees ) amuses me :)
