Brentford faced Tottenham Hotspur in the final Saturday fixture of the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match was scheduled for Saturday 22 August 2026 at 17:30 BST. It followed the three 15:00 matches and the lunchtime meeting between Hull City and Manchester United.
The fixture was set at Brentford Community Stadium, Brentford’s home in west London. Tottenham’s listed home ground was Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but Tottenham were the visiting team for this opening-round match.
It is worth distinguishing the date from the Sunday schedule, which included Manchester City against Bournemouth, Brighton against Aston Villa and Newcastle United against Liverpool. Fulham versus Chelsea then completed the round on Monday.
