Disclosed is an engine starting control method for a hybrid vehicle that includes a starting motor for starting an engine and a driving motor for driving a vehicle. More specifically, a control unit may be configured to accelerate a stopped engine, determine whether a current speed of the engine is greater than a predetermined value, inject fuel to the engine when the current speed of the engine is greater than the predetermined value, determine a torque of the starting motor based on a target speed of the engine, and control a speed of the engine based on the determined torque of the starting motor.
