Manchester United will kick off their 2026/27 Premier League season away at Hull City before welcoming Ipswich Town to Old Trafford on August 29, with manager Michael Carrick beginning his first full campaign in charge of the club.

Carrick’s side secured a top-four finish last season, guaranteeing their return to the Champions League group stage. The upcoming campaign marks a significant step for the former United midfielder, who takes over as the permanent successor to Ruben Amorim.

Ipswich Town’s visit on August 29 will be their first match back in the top flight, adding extra weight to what is already a high-profile fixture on United’s early schedule at Old Trafford.

Pre-season preparations are now under way at the club, with the new Premier League campaign less than two months away. VIP and hospitality tickets for home matches are already available, with packages currently starting at £275 per person through official channels.
