Which club won 4–0 at home to Aston Villa in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?

Brighton & Hove Albion beat Aston Villa 4–0 at home in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match was played on Sunday, 23 August 2026, at Brighton’s Falmer Stadium. The four-goal margin made it the biggest home win listed from the opening round.

Brighton’s fixture was scheduled for Sunday because the club was involved in a UEFA Conference League qualification play-off on the preceding Thursday. The Premier League’s fixture planning took that European commitment into account when arranging the opening round.

Aston Villa were the visitors from Birmingham. The result stood out among the ten opening-weekend matches because Brighton scored four times while keeping a clean sheet. It was also one of two Sunday matches scheduled for the same 14:00 kick-off time.
