The match was scheduled for Saturday 22 August 2026 at 17:30 BST. It followed the 12:30 Hull City–Manchester United fixture and three matches listed for 15:00. The Saturday schedule therefore contained five Premier League matches in total.

Brentford played at home at Brentford Community Stadium, while Tottenham travelled from north London. Brentford won 3–0, producing one of the clearest victories of the opening round. Tottenham began the season with a heavy away defeat, while Brentford collected three points and a strong goal difference.
