Hull City beat Manchester United by two goals during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend, winning 2–0.
The match was played at Hull’s MKM Stadium on Saturday, 22 August 2026. It was notable because Hull were newly promoted and Manchester United were one of the division’s most prominent clubs. Hull’s clean-sheet victory therefore produced one of the weekend’s clearest upsets.
The two-goal margin came entirely from Hull’s 2–0 scoreline. Manchester United failed to score, so the result was both a victory and a shutout for the home side.
This match is sometimes mixed up with Everton’s 2–0 home win over Crystal Palace, which had the same scoreline on the same opening weekend. The difference is that Hull’s opponent was Manchester United, while Everton played Palace.
