Which stadium hosted Hull City’s 2–0 victory over Manchester United in the 2026–27 Premier League opener?

The story behind the answer

The MKM Stadium hosted Hull City’s 2–0 victory over Manchester United in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

Hull City welcomed Manchester United to the MKM Stadium on Saturday, 22 August 2026. The home side won 2–0, giving Hull a memorable result in their first Premier League match after promotion.

The stadium is in Kingston upon Hull and is Hull City’s home ground. It was listed with a capacity of 24,983 for the 2026–27 Premier League season. The ground has also hosted rugby league, reflecting Hull’s strong football and rugby sporting culture.

The venue should not be confused with Portman Road, where Ipswich Town beat Sunderland 2–1, or the City Ground, where Leeds United defeated Nottingham Forest 1–0. Those were separate Saturday fixtures in the same opening match round.
