Which match was scheduled for the final Saturday time slot of the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?
Answer
Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur
Brentford vs Tottenham Hotspur was scheduled for the final Saturday time slot of the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The fixture was listed for 17:30 BST on Saturday 22 August 2026 at Brentford Community Stadium. It followed the 12:30 Hull City–Manchester United match and the three fixtures scheduled for 15:00.
Brentford won 3–0, with the result giving them a strong start to the campaign. The match was one of the opening weekend’s London-related fixtures, although Brentford and Tottenham are based in different parts of the capital.
It is easy to confuse this game with Fulham versus Chelsea, another London fixture from the opening round. Fulham–Chelsea was played on Monday 24 August and was the final match of the entire opening round, not the last match on Saturday.
