Which club hosted Aston Villa in a 4–0 win during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

Brighton & Hove Albion hosted Aston Villa in a 4–0 win during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

Brighton defeated Aston Villa 4–0 at the Amex Stadium on Sunday 23 August 2026. The match was scheduled for 14:00 BST, at the same time as Manchester City versus Bournemouth.

The Premier League’s official schedule noted that Brighton’s fixture was placed on Sunday because of the club’s participation in UEFA Conference League qualification play-offs on the preceding Thursday. The arrangement reduced the recovery time between competitions.

The result became the biggest home win of the opening round. It is distinct from Brentford’s 3–0 victory over Tottenham and Manchester City’s 2–1 win over Bournemouth, which were also Sunday or weekend fixtures.
