Which 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend fixture was broadcast live on TNT Sports at 12:30 BST?
Answer
Hull City v Manchester United
Hull City v Manchester United was the 12:30 BST opening-weekend fixture broadcast live on TNT Sports.
The match took place on Saturday, 22 August 2026, at the MKM Stadium. It was the first Saturday lunchtime fixture of the new season, following Arsenal’s Friday-night opener against Coventry City.
The Premier League’s 2026–27 UK broadcast arrangement included Sky Sports and TNT Sports. The official fixture announcement specifically identified Hull City versus Manchester United as the TNT Sports lunchtime game, while several other opening-round fixtures were listed for Sky Sports coverage.
The distinction is useful because Arsenal versus Coventry City was also a prominent televised fixture, but it was scheduled for 20:00 BST on Friday and listed on Sky Sports. Brentford versus Tottenham was the Saturday evening game at 17:30, and Fulham versus Chelsea was the Monday-night finale.
