Three Premier League matches kicked off at 3:00 p.m. on Saturday 22 August 2026.
The simultaneous fixtures were Nottingham Forest versus Leeds United, Everton versus Crystal Palace, and Ipswich Town versus Sunderland. All three were part of the opening Match Round of the 2026–27 Premier League season.
The results were different across the three games. Leeds United won 1–0 at Nottingham Forest, Everton beat Crystal Palace 2–0, and Ipswich Town defeated Sunderland 2–1. Together, those matches produced three home-or-away outcomes rather than any draws.
A 3:00 p.m. Saturday kick-off is a traditional English football time. In the United Kingdom, however, matches in that slot have historically faced broadcast restrictions, so the schedule can look different for viewers in other countries and time zones.
