Hull City’s opening 2026–27 Premier League match was scheduled to kick off at 12:30 BST.
Hull hosted Manchester United on Saturday 22 August 2026 in the season’s first Saturday lunchtime fixture. The match was selected for live television coverage and formed part of a busy opening day containing five matches.
The timing is expressed in British Summer Time, the daylight-saving time used in the United Kingdom during August. In UTC, 12:30 BST corresponds to 11:30 UTC, which can help international readers avoid a one-hour conversion error.
Hull won the match 2–0. The fixture was significant because Hull had returned to the Premier League as one of the promoted clubs, while Manchester United began the campaign away from home. The kickoff time should not be confused with Brentford versus Tottenham, which was scheduled for 17:30 BST that same Saturday.
