Which club was listed as the 2026–27 Premier League season’s biggest home winner after opening weekend?

Brighton & Hove Albion was listed as the 2026–27 Premier League season’s biggest home winner after opening weekend.

Brighton achieved the distinction by defeating Aston Villa 4–0 at home on 23 August 2026. Because the result was recorded in the season summary, it became the first listed benchmark for the biggest home victory of the campaign.

The scoreline was larger than the other opening-round home wins recorded in the season summary. Arsenal beat Coventry City 3–0, Brentford beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0, Everton beat Crystal Palace 2–0 and Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0. Brighton therefore had the largest home winning margin after the first round.

This statistic is separate from the season’s biggest away win. That later record was Coventry City’s 0–5 defeat by Brighton, meaning Brighton appeared in both a major home-win and a major away-win entry, but in different matches and circumstances.
