Hibernian fixtures: Rangers and Hearts in opening five fixtures

Hibernian will kick off their 2026/27 Scottish Premiership campaign at home to Motherwell on August 2, live on Sky Sports, with Rangers and Hearts to come early in the season.

Their Sunday opener, which will kick-off at 4.30pm, is part of a groundbreaking opening weekend that will see all six Scottish Premiership games shown live on Sky Sports for the first time.

It is a repeat of last season's final game for David Gray's side, which they lost, allowing Motherwell to seal European football.

This is followed up with a trip to Rangers on Sunday August 9, with an Edinburgh derby following after. Hibs host Hearts on Wednesday September 2, with the reverse fixture at Tynecastle on Boxing Day.

Hibs host their city rivals again on Saturday April 10 in their final pre-split fixture, a week after facing Rangers on Saturday April 3.

They play champions Celtic for the first time in the Scottish Premiership on Saturday October 24. In early December, Gray's side also face the Old Firm in back-to-back matches on Saturday December 5 and 12.

What about Europe?

Hibs will play their Conference League second qualifying round fixture before the Premiership season.

Should they progress, the first leg of their third-round tie takes place on August 6 - just days after their league opener. Gray's side face the return tie a week later, with a Premiership game against Rangers sandwiched in between.

Following Hibs' League Cup fixture on August 15/16, they play the first leg of a possible play-off tie on August 20 and the subsequent game seven days later.

A match against Dundee is scheduled in between, on August 29, but that could be postponed at the request of Hibs, if they wish to take advantage of an SPFL rule designed to help clubs better prepare for the second legs of European play-offs.
