Hull City versus Manchester United kicked off at 12:30 BST on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was the first Saturday lunchtime fixture of the new Premier League season. Hull City were returning to the top flight after a lengthy absence, while Manchester United began another campaign under head coach Michael Carrick.
Hull produced one of the weekend’s biggest surprises by winning 2–0 at the MKM Stadium. Semi Ajayi opened the scoring in the 17th minute, and Nobel Mendy added a second before half-time. Both goals came before Manchester United could establish control of the match.
Kickoff times are often listed differently for international viewers. The advertised British time was 12:30 BST, while broadcasters converted it for each territory. The match was also notable because it was Hull’s first Premier League appearance after a nine-year gap from the competition.
