Hull City hosted Manchester United in the first Saturday lunchtime match of the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The fixture was scheduled for 12:30 BST on Saturday 22 August 2026. It followed Arsenal’s Friday-night opener against Coventry City and was identified as the first Saturday lunchtime game of the season.
Hull City were one of the newly promoted clubs entering the 2026–27 Premier League. Their home meeting with Manchester United therefore gave a returning side an immediate fixture against one of the most famous clubs in English football.
The match was listed for live coverage by TNT Sports. Kick-off times in Premier League fixture announcements can later change because of broadcasting selections, policing, travel and other operational considerations, but this was the published opening-weekend schedule.
