What was the score when Hull City hosted Manchester United on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?
Answer
Hull City 2–0 Manchester United
Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0 on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match was played at the MKM Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. It was Hull City’s first Premier League match after promotion from the Championship, while Manchester United began the campaign away from home.
The result gave Hull an immediate three points and made their return to England’s top flight especially memorable. Manchester United, meanwhile, began the season with a defeat and failed to score.
Hull City were one of three promoted clubs in the 2026–27 Premier League, alongside Coventry City and Ipswich Town. Coventry lost to Arsenal in the opening match, while Ipswich later beat Sunderland. Hull’s victory was therefore the first opening-weekend win by a promoted team.
