Manchester United now know exactly what lies ahead after the release of the 2026-27 Premier League fixture list.
The Red Devils will kick off the new campaign with a trip to the MKM Stadium to face Championship play-off winners Hull City on August 22.
Their final league assignment of the season will come at Old Trafford against Fulham on May 30, 2027.
The upcoming campaign will also mark the first full Premier League season of the Michael Carrick era.
After securing a third-place finish last season, expectations around Old Trafford have risen significantly.

Opening Five Fixtures
August
22: Hull City (A)
29: Ipswich Town (H)
September
5: Everton (A)
12: Manchester City (H)
19: Fulham (A)
United’s first home game of the campaign will see newly promoted Ipswich Town make the journey to Old Trafford.
Trips to Everton and Fulham will be sandwiched around the first Manchester Derby of the season in September.
Both Manchester City and Fulham will enter the campaign under new management following the departures of Pep Guardiola and Marco Silva.
On paper, Carrick and his men will have a genuine opportunity to make a fast start and establish themselves near the top of the table.
Key fixtures
The first Manchester Derby comes early in the season but the return fixture at the Etihad Stadium on March 20 could carry enormous significance.
Should both clubs find themselves involved in a title race, the result may have a huge impact on the destination of the Premier League trophy.
United’s meetings with Liverpool are scheduled close together. The Red Devils will travel to Anfield on November 21 before welcoming their fiercest rivals to Old Trafford on January 23.
The short gap between those fixtures means any player suffering a medium-term injury could realistically miss both encounters.
United will travel to the Emirates Stadium on December 19 to face the reigning Premier League champions. The festive period offers little room for rest.
The reverse fixture at Old Trafford is scheduled for February 27 and could be another major title-race showdown.
United will host Nottingham Forest on Boxing Day before beginning 2027 with a difficult away trip to Brighton & Hove Albion.
The Christmas and New Year schedule could prove crucial in shaping the final league table.
