    Ipswich Town have achieved success at a high-level over the course of their 145-year history including winning the English First Division title, the FA Cup and the UEFA Cup.

    Ipswich Town currently play in the Premier League, in the top tier of English football.

    They were founded back in 1878 but did not become a professional football club until 1936. 

    The club plays at Portman Road which has a capacity of nearly 30,000. 

    The club have been manged by footballing legends including the likes of Sir Alf Ramsey between 1955 and 1963 and Sir Bobby Robson between 1969 and 1982. 

    After their relegation to England’s second-tier, the club spent 17-consecutive seasons in the Championship before being relegated to League One (third-tier) in 2019. 

    The Tractor Boys then spent a total of four seasons playing in the third-tier before achieving promotion to back to the Championship in the 2022/23 campaign under manager Kieran McKenna.

    Ipswich ended their 22-year wait for Premier League football after gaining promotion to the top flight following back-to-back promotions at the end of the 2023/24 season.
