Hull City and Manchester United are set to clash at the MKM Stadium this Saturday at 7:30 AM EST in the opening round of the 2026-27 Premier League season.
After a nine-year absence from England's top flight, Hull City is back in the Premier League. The Tigers secured their promotion through the Championship playoffs after finishing sixth in the league, becoming the first club in 16 years to achieve promotion from that position.
The team from Northern England enters the new season as the bookmakers' favorite for relegation and faces a daunting opening-day fixture against the most successful club in Premier League history.
Meanwhile, Manchester United enters the campaign with renewed optimism. Without a league title in 13 seasons, the Red Devils are considered one of the main challengers to reigning champions Arsenal. This will be Michael Carrick's first full season in charge of the Manchester club.
