TNT Sports was scheduled to show Hull City versus Manchester United live in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The fixture was the first Saturday lunchtime match, with a listed kick-off of 12:30 BST on 22 August 2026. The Premier League’s fixture announcement specifically identified TNT Sports for that broadcast, distinguishing it from many other opening-round games assigned to Sky Sports.
The match had a strong broadcast profile because Hull City were returning to the top division after nine years and Manchester United were beginning a new league campaign away from home. It also followed the Friday-night opener between Arsenal and Coventry City.
Premier League broadcasting is divided among rights holders rather than being carried by one network. For this round, Sky Sports was listed for the Arsenal opener, the Brentford–Tottenham match, the Sunday programme and the Monday conclusion, while TNT Sports handled the Saturday lunchtime game.
