Which club had the largest win by goal margin in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

Brighton & Hove Albion had the largest win by goal margin in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

Brighton defeated Aston Villa 4–0 at the American Express Stadium on Sunday, 23 August 2026. The four-goal margin was the biggest winning margin in the opening round, exceeding the three-goal victories recorded by Arsenal and Brentford.

The result gave Brighton three points and a goal difference of plus four. That margin placed Brighton at the top of the table after the opening round, ahead of other winning teams on goal difference.

The 4–0 result is separate from the question of how many goals were scored in the match: the scoreline means four goals were scored in total. It also differs from the weekend’s highest-scoring game, Fulham 2–3 Chelsea, which contained five goals but had a smaller winning margin.
