What was the largest home victory of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

The story behind the answer

The largest home victory of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend was Brighton’s 4–0 win over Aston Villa.

Brighton & Hove Albion hosted Aston Villa at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, 23 August 2026. The four-goal margin was the biggest home winning margin among the round’s ten matches.

Several other clubs also kept clean sheets at home. Arsenal beat Coventry City 3–0, Brentford defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3–0, and Everton beat Crystal Palace 2–0. None matched Brighton’s four-goal advantage.

The result is not the same as the weekend’s largest overall margin in a formal home-versus-away comparison unless the match is identified correctly: Brighton were the home side, and Aston Villa were the visitors. The final score also helped Brighton start the season with a superior goal difference.
