Which match closed the Saturday schedule in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

Brentford versus Tottenham Hotspur closed the Saturday schedule in the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The fixture was scheduled for 17:30 BST on Saturday 22 August 2026. Brentford hosted Tottenham Hotspur, bringing the day’s programme to an end after the lunchtime fixture and three matches at 15:00.

The Saturday schedule therefore contained six games in total. It began with Hull City versus Manchester United at 12:30, continued with three simultaneous matches at 15:00, and finished with Brentford versus Tottenham.

This game is distinct from the final match of the entire opening round. The opening round continued on Sunday with three fixtures, including Newcastle United versus Liverpool, and ended on Monday with Fulham versus Chelsea. “Saturday’s last game” and “opening round’s last game” are different answers.
