Which match was the final Premier League fixture played on Saturday, 22 August 2026?

Brentford v Tottenham Hotspur was the final Premier League fixture played on Saturday, 22 August 2026. It was scheduled for a 17:30 BST kick-off at Brentford’s home stadium.

The match followed the 12:30 Hull City–Manchester United game and the three 15:00 fixtures involving Everton, Ipswich Town and Nottingham Forest. It served as the Saturday evening showcase of the opening round.

Brentford and Tottenham were both established Premier League clubs in this fixture list, unlike the promoted sides appearing elsewhere that day. The game’s placement made it the last Saturday match before Sunday’s three fixtures.

It was not the final match of the opening weekend overall. Brighton–Aston Villa and Manchester City–Bournemouth were on Sunday, Newcastle–Liverpool followed later that day, and Fulham–Chelsea completed the round on Monday.
