Brentford FC fixtures and results

Brentford FC fixtures and results cover a 38-match Premier League schedule as well as domestic cup matches. The league programme includes home and away meetings with Chelsea and Fulham, while cup draws bring separate opponents and knockout rounds.

The 2026/27 season opened at home to Tottenham Hotspur; Brentford also progressed past Birmingham City and Reading in the Carabao Cup in August and September. For the changing match calendar, confirmed kick-off times and completed scores, follow SP Score’s current football results and fixtures. The club’s historical cup results belong to their original season, not a rolling list on this page.

Brentford Premier League standings and competitions

Brentford’s Premier League standings reflect their results against the other 19 clubs in England’s top division. A league position changes as matches are played, so a static club profile should distinguish the current table from an accurately dated final placing.

The Bees finished ninth in 2025/26, matching their Premier League finish in 2022/23. They also compete in England’s domestic knockout football: the FA Cup and the EFL Cup, known as the Carabao Cup for sponsorship purposes. League points do not carry into either cup competition.

Brentford FC squad and key players

Brentford FC’s 2026/27 squad features goalkeeper Caoimhín Kelleher, defender Nathan Collins, midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard and forward Igor Thiago. Kevin Schade and Dango Ouattara are among the club’s attacking options, while Vitaly Janelt and Mathias Jensen are also listed in the first-team group.

The club’s published squad numbers place Kelleher in the No. 1 shirt, Schade in No. 7 and Thiago in No. 9. These names establish who was listed for the season; they are not a prediction of a starting lineup or a claim that every player will be available for a particular match.

Brentford manager and 2026/27 transfers

Keith Andrews has led Brentford since June 2025, when he succeeded Thomas Frank after previously working with the club as a set-piece coach. The change matters to Brentford’s recent history, but Frank must not be described as the current manager.

Brentford confirmed five first-team summer arrivals for 2026/27: Jannik Schuster, Jaidon Anthony, Callum Wilson, Mamadou Sangaré and El Hadji Malick Diouf. The club described that window as a period of adding to the core of Andrews’ squad rather than another complete rebuild.

For wider confirmed deals across the competition, explore SportPesa Kenya’s Premier League 2026/27 transfers guide. The five arrivals above are a dated 2026 window record, not an indefinitely current list of new signings.

Brentford stadium, history and west London rivals

Gtech Community Stadium became Brentford’s home in 2020, following the club’s 116-year stay at Griffin Park. Brentford had played at Griffin Park from 1904, and their 2021 promotion brought top-flight football to the club for the first time since the 1946/47 season.

Brentford’s league history stretches further back than the Premier League: the club finished fifth in the old First Division in 1935/36, its highest-ever league placing. Chelsea and Fulham provide present-day west London league derbies; Queens Park Rangers are another established local rival from Brentford’s Football League history.
