Which team did Hull City defeat 2–0 on its Premier League return in 2026–27?

Hull City defeated Manchester United 2–0 on its return to the Premier League in 2026–27.

The match was played on Saturday 22 August 2026 at MKM Stadium. Hull had earned promotion through the Championship play-offs, making the fixture their first Premier League match after a nine-year absence.

Manchester United began the campaign with a defeat and failed to score. Hull’s clean-sheet victory therefore gave the newly promoted club an especially memorable opening-day result.

Hull City had last appeared in the Premier League during the 2014–15 season. Their return added a third promoted club to the 2026–27 division, alongside Coventry City and Ipswich Town.
