Everton recorded a 2–0 victory against Crystal Palace in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match was played at Everton’s new Hill Dickinson Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. It was Everton’s first Premier League fixture of the campaign and gave the club a clean-sheet win at home.
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored Everton’s opening goal, while Thierno Barry added the second. Their goals settled the match and ensured Crystal Palace began the season without scoring.
The result is easy to confuse with several other opening-round victories because the round contained multiple two-goal wins. Everton’s was specifically a 2–0 home success, while Hull City also won by two goals and Manchester City later recorded a 2–1 result.
