What was the final score in Arsenal’s opening-weekend match against Coventry City in 2026–27?

Arsenal beat Coventry City 3–0 in their 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match.

The result came at Emirates Stadium on Friday 21 August 2026, when Arsenal began their title defence. A three-goal victory gave the champions three points and a positive goal difference before the rest of the opening round had been completed.

Coventry City were one of the newly promoted clubs and were appearing in the Premier League for the first time in 25 years. Their return was overshadowed by the result, although reaching the division itself represented a major achievement for the club.

The score is distinct from several other opening-weekend results. Brighton & Hove Albion won 4–0 against Aston Villa, while Brentford beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0. Arsenal’s 3–0 scoreline therefore matched Brentford’s winning margin but was not the largest home victory of the round.
