Which team recorded the largest home win of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?
Answer
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton & Hove Albion recorded the largest home win of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
Brighton defeated Aston Villa 4–0 at home on Sunday 23 August 2026. The four-goal margin was the biggest home winning margin in the first round, exceeding the three-goal victories recorded by Arsenal and Brentford.
The result also gave Brighton the strongest goal difference among the opening-weekend winners. They finished the first round at the top of the early table with three points and a goal difference of plus four.
The result is distinct from Manchester City’s 2–1 home win over Bournemouth, which was played on the same day. Brighton’s fixture was scheduled for 14:00, partly because the club had a UEFA Conference League qualification play-off commitment on the preceding Thursday.
