Everton beat Crystal Palace 2–0 on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was one of three fixtures scheduled for 15:00 BST on Saturday 22 August 2026. Everton played at home, while Crystal Palace travelled to face them in the first round of league matches.
A two-goal victory meant Everton collected three points without conceding. That clean-sheet result placed them among the opening weekend’s winners and separated the match from several tighter contests, including Manchester City’s one-goal win and Newcastle United’s draw with Liverpool.
The fixture is also easy to mix up with other London-related opening-round games. Crystal Palace’s opponent was Everton, not Fulham or Chelsea, and the score was 2–0 rather than the 2–3 result recorded in Fulham versus Chelsea on Monday.
