The Black & Whites will kick off their 2026 Betfred Super League campaign by welcoming newly promoted Bradford Bulls to the MKM Stadium.
Hull FC will face the West Yorkshire side in their Round 1 clash on Saturday 14th February (5.30pm) in West Hull – the first competitive meeting between the sides since 2014.
It will be the first chance to see some of John Cartwright’s new recruits on home soil under the Saturday night lights, including Jake Arthur, Joe Batchelor, and Sam Lisone, with the Airlie Birds looking to extend their impressive opening round record over the last decade that has seen them win eight of the last ten season openers.
Bradford return to the top flight after 11 seasons away, and with Kurt Haggerty’s side aiming to make a strong early impression in their first Super League outing, it’s sure to be a fiery affair in West Hull.
Full ticketing and hospitality details for the fixture will be announced in due course.
Hull FC’s full 2026 Betfred Super League schedule will be announce at 8.00am on Thursday 27th February.
