Hull City hosted Manchester United in Matchweek 1 of the 2026–27 Premier League.
The fixture was played at the MKM Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. Hull, newly promoted to the Premier League, defeated Manchester United 2–0 in their first match back in the top flight. The victory gave Hull an immediate boost and was one of the round’s most notable results.
Hull were one of three promoted clubs in the 2026–27 Premier League, alongside Coventry City and Sunderland. Those clubs had different opening assignments: Coventry visited Arsenal, Sunderland visited Ipswich Town, and Hull welcomed Manchester United.
The wording matters because Manchester United were the visiting club. The reverse fixture was scheduled for later in the season at Old Trafford, so answers naming Manchester United describe the opponent rather than the promoted host. Hull’s home venue was the MKM Stadium, formerly known as the KCOM Stadium.
