Hull City won 2–0 when they hosted Manchester United in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.
The match was played at Hull City’s MKM Stadium on Saturday, 22 August 2026. It was the first Saturday lunchtime fixture of the season and one of the most eye-catching results because a newly promoted side defeated Manchester United.
Hull City had returned to the Premier League after a nine-year absence. Their two-goal victory gave them an ideal start against one of England’s most globally recognised clubs, while Manchester United began the campaign with no points from this match.
The result can be confused with Ipswich Town’s 2–1 win over Sunderland, another victory by a promoted club on the same Saturday. Hull’s fixture was earlier in the day and ended 2–0, while Ipswich’s was a 15:00 kickoff and ended 2–1.
