Which 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match ended in a 4–0 win for Brighton & Hove Albion?
Answer
Brighton v Aston Villa
Brighton & Hove Albion beat Aston Villa 4–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played on Sunday, 23 August 2026, at Brighton’s home ground. Brighton scored four times without conceding, making the result the largest winning margin in the opening round.
The fixture was one of two Sunday matches played at 14:00 UK time. The other was Manchester City’s 2–1 home victory over Bournemouth, so the two games were part of the same afternoon schedule.
The scoreline is easy to confuse with Arsenal’s 3–0 victory over Coventry City or Brentford’s 3–0 win over Tottenham Hotspur. Brighton’s result was distinct because it was the only opening-weekend match decided by four goals.
