What was the result of Hull City versus Manchester United in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?
Answer
Hull City 2–0 Manchester United
Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match was played at Hull’s MKM Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. It was the season’s first Saturday lunchtime fixture and followed Arsenal’s Friday-night meeting with Coventry City.
Hull were newly promoted to the Premier League, making the victory an especially notable return to the division. Manchester United therefore began the campaign with a defeat despite playing one of the promoted teams.
This result is separate from the opening-round match involving the other promoted clubs. Ipswich Town also won, defeating Sunderland 2–1, while Coventry City lost to Arsenal.
