Which club scored the most goals in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?

Brighton & Hove Albion scored the most goals in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

Brighton scored four times in a 4–0 home victory over Aston Villa on 23 August 2026. No other club reached four goals in Matchweek 1, making Brighton the outright leading scorer for the opening round.

The result also gave Brighton the largest winning margin of the round. Arsenal and Brentford each scored three goals in wins, while Chelsea scored three in a 3–2 victory at Fulham.

Opening-round scoring leaders should not be confused with season-long top scorers or the club that finishes first overall. This statistic covers only the first match played by each team, when Brighton’s four-goal performance set the early benchmark.
