What was the score when Hull City hosted Manchester United on the opening Saturday of 2026–27?

Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0 on the opening Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League season. The match was played at Hull’s home ground on 22 August 2026.

The result was one of the most notable surprises of the opening round. Hull City had been promoted and immediately produced a clean-sheet victory against one of English football’s most famous clubs.

Manchester United’s defeat left them without a point after their first fixture, while Hull collected three points and a positive goal difference. The result also made Hull one of two promoted clubs to win on the opening Saturday; Ipswich Town also won, defeating Sunderland 2–1.

This match is easy to confuse with Arsenal’s 3–0 victory over Coventry City, which opened the season on Friday. Hull versus Manchester United was specifically the first Saturday lunchtime fixture.
