Which club did Brentford defeat 3–0 on the opening Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League season?

Brentford defeated Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 on the opening Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League season.

The match was played on Saturday 22 August 2026, with a 17:30 UK kick-off. It was the final Premier League fixture on that Saturday, following the lunchtime match and three games scheduled for 15:00.

Brentford’s clean-sheet victory gave them an ideal start, while Tottenham began the campaign with a three-goal defeat. The result was one of two 3–0 wins on the first Saturday; the other was Arsenal’s victory over Coventry City on Friday.

The fixture is easy to confuse with Hull City’s 2–0 win over Manchester United, another opening-day result involving a promoted club. Brentford versus Tottenham was the later Saturday game.
