Both sides lost their season opener.
Sunderland will take on Fulham at the Stadium of Light in a Matchday 2 fixture of the English Premier League 2026-27 season on Sunday, August 30, 2026. The two sides are still searching for their first points of the season, having lost their opening gameweek matches.
A 90th-minute goal from Jack Clarke condemned Sunderland to a 2-1 loss against Ipswich Town. Having secured Europa League qualification last season, Regis Le Bris must now juggle league responsibilities with continental ambitions, and will hope that his side can register their first EPL win of the season tonight.
Fulham, too, were in full song in their opening match against Chelsea, but ultimately succumbed to a 3-2 loss. Josh King and Gonzalo Garcia scored for the Cottagers, but they were undone by a superb goalscoring showing from Xabi Alonso’s side. New head coach Alvaro Arbeloa will hope that his side can build on the form that they showed in the 3-0 win against AFC Wimbledon in the EFL Cup.
