Hull City Discover Premier League 2026/27 Fixtures

Hull City have finally learned their Premier League fixture list for the 2026/27 season, marking the club’s return to the top flight after a three-year absence. The Tigers will begin their campaign at home to Manchester United, a mouth-watering opener on the weekend of August 15.

The schedule, released this morning, sees Hull face a tough start with three of their first five matches against last season’s top-six sides. The fixture list was announced via the Premier League’s official channels, confirming earlier reports that Hull’s first home game would be a blockbuster.

Key Fixture Highlights

Hull’s opening day clash with Manchester United is the standout fixture. United visited the MKM Stadium in Hull’s last Premier League stint in 2016, a 1-0 win for the away side. This time, the Tigers will hope for a different result under manager Liam Rosenior – if he remains in charge.

The Tigers’ first away fixture is a trip to Tottenham Hotspur in matchweek two, followed by a home game against Brighton. The first East Midlands derby against Leicester City is scheduled for October, with the return leg in April.

Boxing Day sees Hull travel to West Ham, while the final game of the season is at home to Everton on May 22.

Why This Matters for Hull City

Returning to the Premier League brings significant financial rewards. Hull earned promotion via the Championship play-offs last season, beating Coventry City in the final. The fixture list provides a clear picture of where they might pick up points.

The opening run includes matches against Arsenal, Chelsea, and Liverpool within the first eight weeks. Survival will depend on early results against fellow promoted sides and mid-table teams.

For fantasy Premier League managers, Hull’s fixtures offer potential differential picks. The Tigers’ top scorer from last season, Joao Pedro, could be a budget-friendly option if he stays at the club.

What's Next for the Tigers

Hull’s pre-season schedule is yet to be confirmed, but the club are expected to announce tour dates soon. Manager Liam Rosenior will need to strengthen the squad to compete in the top flight. The transfer window opens in June, and Hull have been linked with several targets already.

Every point will count as Hull look to avoid an immediate relegation. The fixture list gives them a chance to build momentum early – but they must take it.
