No team scored five goals in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The highest team total in the round was four goals, scored by Brighton & Hove Albion in their 4–0 home win over Aston Villa. Several teams scored three, including Arsenal, Brentford and Chelsea, but none reached five.
This distinction matters because Chelsea later recorded a 5–1 Premier League victory over Bournemouth on 10 October 2026. That later result belongs to the season as a whole, not to the opening round, and can lead to an incorrect answer when the two time periods are merged.
The opening round contained ten matches, with results ranging from 4–0 and 3–0 wins to the 2–2 draw between Newcastle United and Liverpool. Its maximum team score was therefore four.
