Tens of thousands of goals have been scored in the English top flight since the Premier League's inaugural season. Every August, one player claims the honour of scoring the campaign's maiden goal. This FourFourTwo quiz will find out how many of those goalscorers you can remember.
2026-27 is the 35th season of the Premier League and we want you to name the player who scored the first goal in each of them, including this season. Some of the goals are quite famous or very recent, but not all. So we're giving you a generous time limit for this one.
In all, there are 35 players to name and 20 minutes to get the lot. We've given you their clubs and the seasons to help you along the way. Let us know below how you get on!

If not, let's stay in the Premier League and go back in time with our Premier League 1996-97 quiz. Can you answer all 15 multiple choice questions about the top division 30 years ago?
