Hull City FC and Premier League Hosts Watch Party to Kickoff 26-27 Season
Hull City will be part of a first-of-its-kind Premier League initiative to connect with US fans through free activations and watch parties spanning 15 cities during the opening weekend of the 2026-27 season (Aug. 21-24). Premier League ‘Coast to Coast’ will celebrate football, community, and club pride, bringing the excitement of Premier League matchdays directly to fans in the U.S.
Hull City’s watch party will bring together new and long-time supporters to see Hull City take on opponents Manchester United as part of a bespoke club event in Cincinnati which will showcase the identity and culture of the club.
The event will be hosted at The Stretch, a Cincinnati sports bar with a strong connection to the city’s Bengals community. The venue has a distinctive Bengal Tiger theme, including striped wallpaper and Bengals branding throughout, as well as a large screen for showing the match, so we think it’s a great fit for Hull City’s first Premier League watch party in Cincinnati.
The watch parties and events will create a unique start to the new season, bringing fans closer to Premier League clubs while building on the success of the 2025/26 Premier League season, which was the most-watched ever in the United States across the NBC Broadcast Network with an average total audience of 1.2 million viewers.
‘Coast to Coast’ also follows on from the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Premier League clubs contributed more players to the tournament than clubs from any other league in the world. It is the latest example of the Premier League’s ongoing commitment to bringing unique experiences to passionate fans across the United States, building on two Premier League Summer Series pre-season tournaments and 12 Premier League Mornings Live Fan Festivals.
