Everton beat Crystal Palace 2–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played on Saturday, 22 August 2026, with Everton listed as the home team. It was one of three matches scheduled for the regular 15:00 Saturday kick-off time.
The result gave Everton a winning start to the campaign and left Crystal Palace without points from their opening fixture. It was one of two 2–0 victories on the Saturday schedule, the other being Hull City’s home win against Manchester United.
Everton’s home venue for the season was Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. The club had moved from Goodison Park, making the opening-weekend fixture part of its first Premier League campaign at the new stadium. That venue detail helps distinguish the match from Everton’s earlier Premier League history.
