What was the score in Brentford’s opening-weekend match against Tottenham Hotspur in 2026–27?

The story behind the answer

Brentford beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

The fixture was the final Premier League match on Saturday 22 August 2026. It was scheduled for a 17:30 BST kick-off at Brentford Community Stadium, giving the west London club a prominent evening slot.

The clean-sheet win matched Arsenal’s 3–0 victory over Coventry City earlier in the round. It was not, however, the largest home victory of the opening round: Brighton & Hove Albion defeated Aston Villa 4–0 on Sunday.

Tottenham were one of the established Premier League clubs in the opening schedule, alongside Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester City. The result is best remembered as a decisive home win rather than a narrow victory, because Brentford scored three times without conceding.
