Which club did Hull City beat on the opening Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League season?

Hull City beat Manchester United on the opening Saturday of the 2026–27 Premier League season.

The match was played at Hull’s MKM Stadium on 22 August 2026. Hull won 2–0, giving the newly promoted club an immediate three-point return in its first Premier League match of the campaign.

Hull were one of three promoted teams in the 2026–27 Premier League, alongside Coventry City and Ipswich Town. Their victory was especially memorable because it came against one of England’s most prominent clubs and formed part of the first Saturday’s televised schedule.

This fixture is easy to confuse with other opening-weekend matches involving Manchester clubs. Manchester City played Bournemouth on Sunday, while Manchester United’s opponent was Hull City. The two Manchester sides therefore began the season on different days and against different newly promoted opponents.
