Premier League football match between Hull City and Manchester City at MKM Stadium.
Manchester City are coming to the MKM Stadium on Saturday 27 February, when they take on Hull City in a Premier League clash. It's a big one for the city: Hull's first home game against City since they returned to the top flight, and their first time hosting the club in the Premier League since the 2016-17 season. The Tigers fought their way back up through the 2026 EFL play-offs, so this is part of their first campaign back in the big time.
For Hull, it's the 123rd match in the club's history. Sergej Jakirović is in charge as head coach, with Acun Ilıcalı as chairman and owner of Acun Medya. On the other side, Manchester City are in their 132nd season, their 25th consecutive in the English top flight. It's a new era for them, too: this is the first season since Enzo Maresca took over in June 2026, following Pep Guardiola's departure. The squad looks different from the one we've seen for years, too. It's their first campaign since 2015-16 without John Stones, since 2016-17 without Bernardo Silva, and since 2018-19 without Rodri, all three of whom left that summer.

So it's a bit of a meeting of two clubs in transition. Hull are finding their feet back in the Premier League, and City are adjusting to life under a new manager and without some of the names that defined their recent run. Kick-off is set for 15:00 GMT, though the date and time are still subject to change, so keep an eye on the fixtures.
