What was the score when Everton hosted Crystal Palace in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?
Answer
Everton 2–0 Crystal Palace
Everton beat Crystal Palace 2–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
Everton hosted Crystal Palace on Saturday, 22 August 2026, in one of the first three matches of the season to kick off at 15:00 BST. The home side secured all three points without conceding.
The match was played at Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium, the club’s new home in Liverpool. That venue replaced Goodison Park for Everton’s Premier League fixtures.
The clean-sheet victory gave Everton a strong start, but it should not be confused with Hull City’s separate 2–0 win over Manchester United later that day. Both matches shared the same winning margin, while their opponents and venues were different.
