What was the result of Hull City’s first 2026–27 Premier League match against Manchester United?

Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0 in their first 2026–27 Premier League match.

The fixture was played at Hull City on Saturday, 22 August 2026, in the opening round. It was Hull’s first Premier League match after returning to the competition following a nine-year absence.

The victory gave Hull three points immediately upon their return to the top flight. Manchester United, one of the league’s most successful clubs, therefore began the campaign with a defeat rather than a win.

Hull were one of three promoted teams in the 2026–27 Premier League. Coventry City and Ipswich Town were the other newcomers, and each also played on the opening round: Coventry lost to Arsenal, while Ipswich defeated Sunderland.
