Which team did Hull City beat in their first Saturday match of the 2026–27 Premier League season?

Hull City beat Manchester United in the first Saturday match of the 2026–27 Premier League season.

The game was played at Hull City’s home ground on Saturday, 22 August 2026. It was scheduled as the opening Saturday lunchtime fixture, following Arsenal’s Friday-night victory over Coventry City.

Hull produced one of the weekend’s biggest early surprises by defeating Manchester United 2–0. The result gave the newly promoted side three points against one of England’s most famous clubs and supplied an immediate headline for the opening round.

This match should not be confused with Manchester City’s Sunday fixture against Bournemouth. Manchester City also won, but Hull City were the team that defeated Manchester United in the Saturday opener.
