The first matches of the 2020–21 season are scheduled to take place on 12 September 2020 with the season concluding on the weekend of 8 to 9 May 2021.[84] The fixtures for the season were released at 9:00 a.m. on 21 August 2020, with Hull starting the season with an away match at the Priestfield Stadium to play Gillingham and ends with another away trip to play Charlton Athletic at The Valley.[85] [86]

Hull opened the season with 3 wins which equalled the record that has stood since 28 August 1948 when they beat Mansfield Town 3–0 in Division Three North.[87]

Because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic the EFL changed the rules on substitutes from 20 November 2020, for the remainder of the season, to allow 7 substitutes to be named per match, with up to 5 being allowed to be used.[88]

Matches

FA Cup

See main article: 2020–21 FA Cup. Hull entered the cup in round one, the draw for which took place on 26 October 2020. Hull were drawn at home to Fleetwood Town.[89] The match took place on 7 November 2020 with a 3:00 kick-off.[90] The game started with a minutes silence as part of the Remembrance Day commemorations. The first action was in the third-minute when Fleetwood's Ched Evans collided with Callum Elder and after a long delay was stretchered off the field. Hull struck in the 31st-minute through a Josh Magennis volley. A second blow for Fleetwood, just before half-time, saw Harvey Saunders clash with George Long and him also being stretchered off the field. Following the break Hull went further ahead through a Reece Burke header of a Callum Elder corner. The game finished 2–0 in Hull City's favour and allowed them to progress to the second round draw. The second round draw was made on Monday, 9 November by Danny Cowley, with Hull drawn away to Stevenage.[91] The match took place on 29 November 2020, the first half saw both keepers making saves to keep the game scoreless at the break. Early in the second half Arthur Iontton brought down Martin Samuelsen in the box and Hull were awarded a penalty that was converted by Tom Eaves.

The following day Hull travelled to Elland Road to take on Leeds United and started well with Mallik Wilks opening the scoring with a deflected shot after 5-minutes. Though they had several chances they could not add to their lead. Leeds meanwhile had few chances, but deep into stoppage time Ezgjan Alioski levelled the score and took the match to penalties. With each side missing one penalty of their set of five it went to sudden death. Jamie Shackleton missed penalty ten for Leeds leaving Alfie Jones to convert his spot-kick to put Hull through to the third round 9–8 on penalties.

The third-round match against West Ham United took place at the London Stadium on 22 November 2020.
