MKM Stadium hosted Hull City’s opening 2026–27 Premier League match against Manchester United.
Hull City welcomed Manchester United on Saturday 22 August 2026 in the first Saturday lunchtime fixture of the campaign. The match was played at MKM Stadium, Hull’s home ground.
The stadium is located in Kingston upon Hull and has a listed capacity of 24,983. Hull returned to the Premier League after a nine-year absence, making the fixture their first top-flight match since their previous spell.
It is easy to confuse this venue with Old Trafford because Manchester United were the visitors. Old Trafford was not used for this opening-round match. The other newly promoted clubs also played at different grounds: Coventry hosted Arsenal away from home, while Ipswich hosted Sunderland.
