The 2023–24 season is the 146th season in the existence of Ipswich Town and their first season back in the Championship following their promotion from League One. In addition to the domestic league, the club are also competing in the FA Cup and EFL Cup.

Season summary

August

Lead by head coach Kieran McKenna, Ipswich Town got off to a winning start in their first Championship campaign for four years. McKenna led Ipswich to wins both in their first away game, a 2–1 victory against Sunderland,[1] as well as their first home game, a 2–0 victory against Stoke City.[2] The team also progressed into the second round of the EFL Cup following a 2–0 victory against Bristol Rovers at home, where new signings Cieran Slicker and Jack Taylor both made their debuts, and Taylor scored his first goal.[3] On 19 August, Ipswich went on to claim three points from Loftus Road following a 75th minute goal from Conor Chaplin to secure a 1–0 victory against Queens Park Rangers.[4] The following week saw Ipswich's first league loss since January,[5] with a 4–3 loss against Leeds United.[6] Ipswich then progressed to the third round of the EFL Cup after winning on penalties against Reading.

September

Kieran McKenna's side started the month with a 3–2 win against Cardiff City on 2 September, coming from behind with a brace from Freddie Ladapo and a goal from Nathan Broadhead.[7] Following the international break, Ipswich gained six more points from a 1–0 away win against Sheffield Wednesday on 16 September, and three days later after a 1–0 win at Southampton.[8][9] On 23 September, Ipswich played Blackburn Rovers at home, securing another 4–3 victory, before drawing 1–1 at the Kirklees Stadium against Huddersfield Town.[10][11] Ipswich managed to maintain unbeaten in September, gaining thirteen out of a possible fifteen points, and scoring ten goals across five matches.

Ipswich also managed to come back from 2–0 down to win 3–2 against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the EFL Cup third round.[12]

October

Ipswich's form continued into the next month with a 3–0 home victory against Hull City on 3 October to go top of the league,[13] before going to win 4–2 against Preston North End four days later.[14] The fixture against Rotherham, scheduled for 25 October, was cancelled due to flooding at the New York Stadium, and was rescheduled for Wednesday 7 November.[15] This meant Town could complete a second consecutive unbeaten month, with a 3-2 victory against Plymouth Argyle on the 28th October 2023.[15]

November

Ipswich started off the next month with a Carabao Cup round-of-16 fixture on the 1st November against Premier League side Fulham. Eleven changes, and a debut for Axel Tuanzebe for Ipswich resulted in a 1-3 home loss,[16] however attention could now turn to the league, with those being the only fixtures until January.[17] Form started to falter slightly, following a 2-2 draw on 4 November against Wayne Rooney's Birmingham, with Marcus Harness scoring a brace to confirm a point in the final fifteen minutes.[18] This was followed up with another 2-2 draw against Rotherham United F.C on 7 November.[19] Despite this, on 11 November 2023, Ipswich got back to winning ways with a 3-2 win against Swansea City,[20] and went into the international break with 39 points, only below Leicester on goal difference (Leicester +19 GD, Ipswich +15 GD, both on 39 points). A 2-0 defeat at The Hawthorns to West Bromwich Albion ended Ipswich's twelve game unbeaten run,[21] but a 3-1 home win against Millwall on the 29th November meant Ipswich ended their month in winning fashion.[22]
