Hull City hosted Manchester United at the MKM Stadium on the first Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League season.
The match was played on Saturday, 22 August 2026, and was scheduled as the weekend’s early fixture. Hull’s home ground, the MKM Stadium, is located in Hull, East Yorkshire, and is the regular home of Hull City.
The venue was known as the KCOM Stadium before a later naming-rights change. It is a multi-purpose stadium that has hosted football, rugby league and other major events, making it one of the notable modern sporting venues in northern England.
The fixture was also significant because Hull City were newly promoted, while Manchester United were one of the division’s established clubs. The stadium name is therefore the key detail: the match was in Hull, not at Manchester United’s Old Trafford or another neutral venue.
