Which team did Brentford beat 3–0 on the opening Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League season?

The story behind the answer

Brentford beat Tottenham Hotspur 3–0 on the opening Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League season.

The match was the final Premier League fixture played on Saturday 22 August 2026. It was scheduled for 17:30 BST and followed the afternoon matches involving Hull City, Manchester United, Ipswich Town, Sunderland, Everton, Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest and Leeds United.

Brentford’s three-goal victory was one of the largest home wins of the opening round. Arsenal also won 3–0 at home to Coventry City, while Brighton recorded the weekend’s biggest home win with a 4–0 result against Aston Villa.

The result gave Brentford three points and a positive goal difference immediately. It is distinct from Brentford’s later opening-round fixture references because the match was played at Brentford’s home ground, while several other London clubs began the season either away or on Monday.
