This is when Sunderland will be hoping to do another double over Newcastle United
Sunderland’s Premier League fixtures are out for 2026-27.
The Premier League fixtures are out - and Sunderland will be aiming to do another double over Newcastle United this season.
In a remarkable return to the top flight, Regis Le Bris led his Sunderland side to 7th place in the league, qualified for the Europa League AND secured a home and away double over fierce North East rivals Newcastle. Now that the fixtures are out, fans will be planning their away trips and also be counting down the days until the first derby clashes.
The first derby of the campaign will take place at St James’ Park on December 5th, with Newcastle United then travelling to the Stadium of Light on May 1st.
In March last season, Le Bris’ side came from behind to snatch all three points from their bitter rivals at St. James’ Park, with Brian Brobbey sealing a memorable victory in the 90th minute. Their triumph on Tyneside meant that Sunderland had completed a Premier League double over the Magpies, having also recorded a 1-0 win when the two sides met at the Stadium of Light back in December, thanks to a Nick Woltemade own goal.
Sunderland will begin their 2026/27 Premier League campaign at Portman Road. The Black Cats will travel to face Ipswich Town on August 22nd, before welcoming Fulham to the Stadium of Light for the first home fixture of the campaign a week later. The opening-day clash has not been picked for TV coverage, so is confirmed as a Saturday 3pm kick-off. The next batch of TV picks are expected to be announced in mid-July.
