How the warm-ups are going
The friendly results so far, before the league gets going. It steps aside once the real games begin on 21 August.
Hull City are back in the top flight.
Hull City return to the Premier League for the first time since 2016/17, promoted through the Championship play-offs under Sergej Jakirović after Oliver McBurnie's 95th-minute winner beat Middlesbrough in the final. The club is owned by the Turkish media figure Acun Ilıcalı and has strengthened for the top flight by signing goalkeeper Jack Butland from Rangers. They begin at home to Manchester United.
How Hull won promotion
These numbers are from the 2025/26 Championship season, not the one about to start. Sergej Jakirović took charge in June 2025 and, in his first full season, led Hull to a sixth-placed finish and then through the play-offs, with Oliver McBurnie settling the final against Middlesbrough deep into stoppage time.
It is Hull's third Championship play-off success, after 2008 and 2016, and their first season back in the Premier League since relegation in 2016/17.

The latest news and reaction
Fresh headlines and fan reaction from BBC Sport, the Guardian and the club's own subreddit, newest at the top. Every item opens on its source.
Nothing to report yet, and that is honest
It is pre-season and the 2026/27 campaign has not kicked off, so there is no confirmed team news to share. Selected line-ups and any late fitness calls land about an hour before each kickoff. We will not invent injuries or suspensions in the meantime.
Pre-season holding update. No official Hull City team news has been published for the opening fixtures.
Confirmed line-ups for Hull City against Manchester United will appear about an hour before the 12:30 BST kickoff on Saturday 22 August at the MKM Stadium.
Team news for the trip to Coventry City on Saturday 29 August follows the same pattern, with the kickoff time still provisional pending TV selection.
Hull City host Aston Villa on Saturday 5 September, with the confirmed side published shortly before kickoff once the manager names it.
No injuries or suspensions are being listed here because none have been confirmed for the new season. For verified fitness news, follow the official channels below.

Confirmed team news, before every game
Hull City's confirmed line-up and any late fitness calls land about an hour before kick-off, and you will find them in the match centre and through the official channels below. We wait for the team sheet rather than guess at it.
Ins and outs, side by side
The confirmed business of the summer, laid out plainly. Fees are as reported and remain approximate, and some deals were completed for undisclosed sums, which is noted where that is the case.

Where to get confirmed team news
When the team sheet drops, it comes from here first. These are the accounts that confirm it rather than guess at it.
The season in numbers
Every chart here comes from the same feed behind our live scores: goals by minute, home and away, the shapes they set up in, the full squad’s numbers and the head-to-head record. This season fills in live from the opening weekend; last season is settled.
How the warm-ups are going
The friendly results so far, before the league gets going. It steps aside for the live table and stats the moment the season kicks off on 21 August.
Nothing has happened yet, and that is the honest answer
The 2026/27 Premier League season has not kicked off, so every counter below is a real zero. These tiles and the live table start filling the moment the first whistle goes.
The last six completed league campaigns
A run that took in a League One title, a few steady Championship years and, at the end of it, a return to the top flight. Positions and points are the final league standings for each season.
| Season | Division | Finished | Points | How it ended |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025/26 | Championship | 6th | 73 | Won the play-off final, promoted to the Premier League |
| 2024/25 | Championship | 21st | 49 | Stayed up |

Long-established club records, the kind that get printed in the matchday programme. Only figures that are well documented are shown here.

For the complete, always-current record we point you to the club and to the stats sites that log every appearance, goal and minute.
The trophy cabinet
Hull City have never won a major top-flight title or a major domestic cup, so this is an honest cabinet. It is a record of promotions, lower-division titles, one famous cup final and a single European campaign, and it tells the story of a club that has climbed back up more than once.
The independent Hull City voices
Hull City do not have a large live watchalong channel on the scale of some bigger clubs, so it is worth being honest about that rather than pointing you at something that is not really there. The best known independent voice over the years has been the Amber Nectar fanzine and podcast, and a plain YouTube search is the most reliable way to find whatever watchalongs are running this season.
