Norwich vs Burnley Match Summary
Competition | English Championship |
|---|---|
Match Date | Saturday 29 August 2026 |
Match Time | 15:00 UK time |
Venue (City, Stadium) | Norwich, Carrow Road |
Carrow Road hosts a scrappy early-season fixture as Norwich welcome Burnley in the English Championship, both sides still chasing a first league win of 2026/27.
Norwich sit bottom of the table after losing their opening two matches, including a 3-0 hammering away at Millwall. The hosts need a response at Carrow Road to ease the pressure mounting on them.
Burnley are only marginally better off in 18th, having taken a single point from two outings following a 3-1 defeat to West Brom. The Clarets remain winless in the league.
History points firmly the visitors' way here, with Burnley winning their last four meetings against Norwich in all competitions and scoring at least twice in each of the last three.
Norwich vs Burnley Form
Norwich have lost their last three Championship matches and shipped five goals across their opening two league games, still without a clean sheet. There was a lift midweek, though, as a 2-1 win at Cardiff in the Carabao Cup, with Ante Crnac back in action, gave the hosts something to build on.
Burnley are still searching for their first league win too, beaten 3-1 by West Brom after leading early through a Callum Styles own goal. Midweek brought more frustration: a penalty shootout exit to League One Bradford City following a goalless draw, leaving the attack with plenty to answer up front.
