Hull City beat Manchester United 2–0 in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match took place at Hull City’s home ground on Saturday 22 August 2026. It was the season’s first Saturday lunchtime fixture, scheduled for 12:30 BST and selected for live TNT Sports coverage.
Hull were newly promoted and had returned to the Premier League after nine years away. Manchester United, by contrast, were an established top-flight club, so the result was one of the opening round’s clearest surprises. Hull collected three points without conceding.
The scoreline is easy to mix up with Ipswich Town’s 2–1 victory over Sunderland on the same Saturday. It also differs from Leeds United’s 1–0 away win at Nottingham Forest and Brentford’s 3–0 home win over Tottenham Hotspur. Those results help place Hull’s win among the opening round’s five Saturday matches.
