Manchester United’s 2026/27 Premier League schedule is out, and the football gods have delivered an early gift: a Manchester derby at Old Trafford by mid-September.
The club’s first 10 fixtures, released on June 19, chart a course from a season opener at Hull City on August 22 through early November. It’s a stretch that includes four high-profile home matches and away trips to Everton, Fulham, Leeds United, and Chelsea.
The full opening stretch
United kick things off with an away fixture at Hull City, with a 12:30 p.m. BST start on August 22. A week later, they host Ipswich Town at Old Trafford on August 29 before traveling to Goodison Park (or wherever Everton call home by then) on September 5.
Then comes the headline fixture. Manchester City visit Old Trafford on September 12, giving United just three matches to find their rhythm before the biggest local rivalry in English football lands on their doorstep.
