Which team won 4–0 at home to Aston Villa during the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?

Brighton & Hove Albion won 4–0 at home to Aston Villa during the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

The match was played at Brighton’s Falmer Stadium on Sunday 23 August 2026. The four-goal victory was the biggest home win of the opening round and was also recorded as the season’s biggest home win at the time of the available league statistics.

The fixture was scheduled for 14:00 BST. Brighton’s participation in UEFA Conference League qualification play-offs on the preceding Thursday influenced the scheduling of the match. Aston Villa therefore faced Brighton in one of two simultaneous Sunday afternoon fixtures, the other being Manchester City against Bournemouth.

Brighton’s home ground is officially known as Falmer Stadium, although it is often called the American Express Stadium for sponsorship purposes. Aston Villa’s home is Villa Park in Birmingham. The 4–0 scoreline gave Brighton a strong goal difference immediately, while Villa began the campaign without a point.
