Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0 during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played at Hull’s MKM Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. It was the opening round’s first Saturday fixture, scheduled for the traditional early lunchtime broadcast slot.
The victory gave Hull three points and a clean sheet against one of England’s most famous clubs. Manchester United’s failure to score meant the visitors began the season with a defeat and a negative goal difference.
This result is distinct from Arsenal’s 3–0 win over Coventry City, which opened the entire season on the previous evening. It also differs from Nottingham Forest’s 0–1 loss to Leeds United, another Saturday match involving a newly promoted side.
