Which two promoted clubs won their first matches of the 2026–27 Premier League season?

Hull City and Ipswich Town won their first matches of the 2026–27 Premier League season.

Hull City defeated Manchester United 2–0 at home, while Ipswich Town beat Sunderland 2–1 at Portman Road. Both victories came on Saturday 22 August 2026, the second day of the opening round.

Coventry City were the third promoted club, but they lost 3–0 away to defending champions Arsenal in the season opener. As a result, two of the three promoted teams collected three points immediately, while the other began with a defeat.

The achievement was notable in Premier League history: it was reported as only the fourth time that two promoted clubs had won on the opening weekend. The result gave the returning sides an early boost in their efforts to avoid an immediate return to the Championship.
