Hull City defeated Manchester United on the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match was played at Hull City’s MKM Stadium on Saturday, 22 August 2026. Hull won 2–0, giving the newly promoted club an immediate three-point start against one of English football’s most prominent teams.

Hull were returning to the Premier League after a nine-year absence. Their promotion made them one of three newcomers in the 2026–27 division, with Coventry City and Ipswich Town completing the promoted trio.

Manchester United’s match was the first Saturday lunchtime fixture of the season. It was separate from the campaign’s first match, which had taken place the previous evening when Arsenal hosted Coventry City. The 2–0 result also meant Hull kept a clean sheet in their return to the top flight.
