Everton won against Crystal Palace during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Everton defeated Crystal Palace 2–0 on Saturday 22 August 2026. Everton were the home side, and the victory gave them three points without conceding a goal in their first match of the season.
The fixture was part of a busy Saturday programme that also included Hull City versus Manchester United, Ipswich Town versus Sunderland, Nottingham Forest versus Leeds United and Brentford versus Tottenham Hotspur. Because five matches were played that day, the result can be difficult to recall from the complete opening-round list.
Everton’s listed home stadium for the season was Hill Dickinson Stadium in Liverpool. The club had moved from Goodison Park, its long-time home, to the new ground. Crystal Palace were one of the established London clubs in the division. The match was not a draw: the 2–0 scoreline made Everton the clear winner and gave Palace a losing start.
