League One

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. 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.

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.

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.

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. The match took place on 29 November 2020, the first half saw both keepers making saves to keep the game scoreless at the break.

EFL Cup

The first round of the EFL Cup is scheduled to take place on 5 September 2020 with the draw taking place at 10:00 a.m. on 18 August 2020. Hull City are in the northern section of the draw and were drawn away to Sunderland. Sunderland started the match with several attempts in the first half but Hull kept a clean sheet. In the second half Sunderland's Will Grigg had a goal disallowed for off-side and as neither side broke the dead-lock the match went to penalties. Grigg took the first penalty and hit the legs of goalkeeper Matt Ingram, the remainder of the penalties were converted and Hull progressed to the second round. The draw for both the second and third round were confirmed on 6 September, live on Sky Sports by Phil Babb. Hull were drawn away to Leeds United in round two with the match taking place week commencing 14 September 2020. It was later confirmed that the match would take place on 16 September. If they progress then in round three they will face either West Ham United or Charlton Athletic. That game took place on 15 September 2020, with West Ham United securing a 3–0 win to progress to round three.

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. Before the game United manager David Moyes and two players, Issa Diop and Josh Cullen, had to leave the stadium after testing positive for coronavirus. West Ham opened the scoring through ex-tiger Robert Snodgrass hitting the net after 18-minutes. Sébastien Haller doubled their lead on the stroke of half-time. Sean McLoughlin conceded a penalty that Andriy Yarmolenko converted for West Ham's third 5-minutes after the break before Mallik Wilks replied for Hull in the 70th-minute. Both Yarmolenko and Haller got on the score-sheet in added time to put West Ham through to the fourth round 5–1.
