Hull City will step back onto English football’s biggest stage on August 22, hosting Manchester United at the MKM Stadium in the opening match of the 2026/27 Premier League season. Kick-off is set for 12:30 BST.
A long road back to the top flight
Hull City’s last Premier League appearance came in the 2016/17 season, a campaign that ended in relegation. Nearly a decade passed before the Tigers secured their return, clinching promotion through the Championship playoffs in the 2025/26 season.
Manchester United, managed by Michael Carrick, finished third in the Premier League last season. United have been given a 69% probability of winning this match.
