Sunderland highlights available after final pre-season friendly

Highlights from Sunderland’s final pre-season friendly are now the focus as the club completes its preparations for the new Premier League campaign. The available event details do not include the opponent or score, so the main confirmed development is the release of the match footage.

Sunderland’s next competitive fixture is away to Ipswich on 22 August 2026. That Premier League opener will follow a recent run that has produced four wins, one draw and one defeat across the club’s listed matches.

The sequence began with Sunderland losing 4-2 at Liverpool. They responded with a 5-1 victory away to York, giving them a five-goal attacking return in their next match after conceding four at Anfield.

Further wins came against Chelsea and Everton. Sunderland defeated Chelsea 2-1 at home before claiming a 3-1 victory at Everton, making it three successive wins after the loss to Liverpool.

Their most recent listed result was a goalless draw against Manchester United. Sunderland therefore scored 11 goals across the five matches in the recent form record, while conceding eight. The run also includes clean sheets against Manchester United and the 5-1 win at York.

The final friendly provides the last piece of match preparation before attention turns to Ipswich. Sunderland’s recent results include victories over Premier League opposition in Chelsea and Everton, as well as the draw with Manchester United, but the first league fixture will bring the campaign’s competitive pressure.

The highlights offer supporters a look back at Sunderland’s final pre-season outing before the club begins its Premier League schedule at Ipswich on 22 August 2026.
