What was the score in Brentford versus Tottenham Hotspur on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

The story behind the answer

Brentford defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match was played at Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. It was the final Premier League fixture of the Saturday schedule and kicked off at 17:30 BST. Brentford therefore ended the day with a three-goal victory and a clean sheet.

The result was one of the clearest wins of the opening round, alongside Arsenal’s 3–0 victory over Coventry City. It was not, however, the weekend’s largest home win: Brighton & Hove Albion beat Aston Villa 4–0 on Sunday.

Tottenham’s defeat was also distinct from the later 2–2 draw between Newcastle United and Liverpool. Brentford’s result produced a decisive winner, with Tottenham failing to score. Because several opening-weekend games featured clean sheets, the 3–0 scoreline is best identified by the teams and venue rather than by the margin alone.
