Hull City won the 2026–27 Premier League opening-weekend match against Manchester United.
The newly promoted Hull side beat Manchester United 2–0 at home on Saturday 22 August 2026. It was the first Saturday lunchtime fixture of the season and one of the opening round’s notable results because Hull were returning to the top flight.
Hull City had secured promotion from the Championship before the Premier League campaign began. Their victory provided an immediate reward for that achievement, while Manchester United started the season without a goal and without a point.
This result is sometimes confused with Arsenal’s opening-night win because both home teams won by multiple goals. The distinction is that Hull played Manchester United on Saturday, whereas Arsenal faced Coventry City on Friday. The result also gave Hull a clean sheet in their first match back in the division.
