Leeds United was the only away winner among the six Saturday matches in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
Leeds defeated Nottingham Forest 1–0 at the City Ground on Saturday 22 August 2026. The other five Saturday fixtures all produced home wins: Hull City beat Manchester United, Ipswich Town beat Sunderland, Everton beat Crystal Palace, and Brentford beat Tottenham Hotspur.
Leeds’ winning goal came late, with Anton Stach scoring from a free-kick. The result gave Leeds three points in their first match of the new Premier League campaign.
The distinction applies specifically to the Saturday schedule. Other opening-round matches were played on Friday, Sunday, and Monday, so the claim does not mean Leeds were the only away winner across the entire round.
