Hull City were the promoted club that won their 2026–27 Premier League opener 2–0 at home.
Hull defeated Manchester United 2–0 at the MKM Stadium on Saturday 22 August 2026. The result gave Hull three points in their first Premier League match after promotion and made their return to the top flight immediately memorable.
The 2026–27 Premier League included three promoted clubs: Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City. Coventry lost 3–0 away to defending champions Arsenal, while Ipswich beat Sunderland 2–1 at home. Hull were therefore the promoted side whose opening victory came by a two-goal margin with a clean sheet.
This fact is narrower than simply asking which club beat Manchester United. It identifies Hull as both a promoted team and a home winner, distinguishing the result from the other promoted clubs’ opening fixtures.
