Which club finished the 2026–27 Premier League opening round with the biggest win?

Brighton & Hove Albion finished the 2026–27 Premier League opening round with the biggest win.

Brighton defeated Aston Villa 4–0 at Falmer Stadium on 23 August 2026. That four-goal margin was larger than the three-goal victories recorded by Arsenal and Brentford, making Brighton the club with the round’s biggest winning margin.

The result was also a clean sheet, so Brighton combined the strongest defensive outcome with the highest winning total among the opening-round matches. Arsenal beat Coventry City 3–0, Brentford beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0, and Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0.

This fact is about margin of victory rather than the number of goals scored alone. Brighton scored four, but the key distinction is that the club won by four goals. The result was subsequently listed as the season’s biggest home win in the competition summary.
