Overview
- The Premier League released the full 2026/27 fixture list on June 19–20, and Manchester United’s opponents and match dates for the season are now set.
- United will open the league away at newly promoted Hull City on August 22 and host Ipswich the following weekend under a schedule the club requested because Old Trafford is undergoing major pitch and safety work.
- United face champions Arsenal at the Emirates on December 19 and then play Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Boxing Day, with Sunderland visiting Old Trafford on December 30.
- The trip to Brighton on January 2 is listed for 3pm but broadcasters have not finalised festive-period TV selections, so some kick-off times — especially around Christmas and New Year — could still change.
- Fans should start planning travel and ticketing now because dates are fixed, but they should watch for later TV announcements that could alter kick-off times and affect travel or work arrangements.
