Which team won Hull City’s opening 2026–27 Premier League match?

Hull City won its opening 2026–27 Premier League match.

Hull City defeated Manchester United 2–0 at home on Saturday 22 August 2026. The result was one of the opening weekend’s notable surprises because Hull had just returned to the Premier League, while Manchester United were one of England’s most established clubs.

The match was played at the MKM Stadium in Kingston upon Hull. Hull’s promotion ended a nine-year absence from the top flight, making the victory an especially strong beginning to their return campaign.

Manchester United’s defeat was not the only opening-weekend result involving a promoted side. Ipswich Town also won, beating Sunderland 2–1, while Coventry City lost 3–0 to Arsenal. Hull’s two-goal margin therefore made them one of the weekend’s most successful newcomers.
