How many 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend matches produced a winner?
Answer
Nine matches
Nine 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend matches produced a winner.
The opening round contained ten matches in total. Nine ended in victories, while Newcastle United’s 2–2 draw with Liverpool was the only match that did not produce a winner.
The nine winning teams were Arsenal, Hull City, Ipswich Town, Leeds United, Everton, Brentford, Brighton & Hove Albion, Manchester City, and Chelsea. Their victories came across four scheduled match days from Friday 21 August through Monday 24 August 2026.
The count is based on completed match results, not on the number of clubs earning points. Every winning team received three points, while the two clubs in the Newcastle–Liverpool draw each received one. This distinction matters because ten matches generated points for all 20 clubs, but only nine matches generated a winner.
