What was the final score in Everton’s opening-weekend match against Crystal Palace in 2026–27?
Answer
Everton 2–0 Crystal Palace
Everton beat Crystal Palace 2–0 in their 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match.
Everton hosted Crystal Palace on Saturday, 22 August 2026, and secured three points with two goals. The clean-sheet victory meant Palace failed to score in their first league fixture of the campaign.
The result was one of several wins recorded on the opening Saturday. It followed the season’s Friday opener between Arsenal and Coventry City and preceded the late Saturday meeting between Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur.
The scoreline should not be confused with Leeds United’s 1–0 win over Nottingham Forest, which was also played on 22 August. Nor was Everton’s match a draw: Everton scored twice and Crystal Palace did not score. Those details make the result a straightforward two-goal home victory for Everton.
