Hull City Set to Face Manchester United in Premier League Opener

Hull City will compete against Manchester United in their opening match of the 2026-27 Premier League season on Saturday at the MKM Stadium.

This marks Hull's return to the top flight after a hiatus since the 2016-17 season. Manchester United, who finished third last season, will also be participating in the Champions League this year. Hull has made significant changes to their squad, bringing in 11 new players, including notable signing Nobel Mendy from Rayo Vallecano.

Historically, Hull has struggled against Manchester United, winning only three of their last 18 encounters. The last Premier League match between the two teams ended in a draw in February 2017. Both teams are facing injury challenges, with Hull missing several key players and Manchester United uncertain about the availability of Matthijs de Ligt and Mason Mount. The match will be broadcast live on TNT Sports 1, with kick-off scheduled for 12:30 BST.
