Manchester City 2026-27 Premier League Fixtures: Full Schedule
Manchester City will begin a new era with a home match against Bournemouth after the Premier League released the 2026‑27 fixture list.
Managerial Transition and Squad Changes
The club enters the campaign following a summer of significant change. Pep Guardiola has departed after a decade in charge, ending one of the most successful spells in English football. Guardiola signed off by delivering the FA Cup and League Cup in the 2025‑26 season, although City finished seven points behind champions Arsenal in the league.
Former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca is expected to lead City into the new season. The Italian faces the task of rebuilding a squad that will also say goodbye to experienced duo Bernardo Silva and John Stones when their contracts expire this summer.
Opening Fixture and Early‑Season Highlights
City’s opening fixture comes on 23 August 2026 against Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium. The first month of the season also includes trips to Crystal Palace and Manchester United.
The first Manchester derby is scheduled for the weekend of 12‑13 September 2026 at Old Trafford, with the return match set for 20‑21 March 2027 at the Etihad.
Key Encounters with Arsenal
Meetings with reigning champions Arsenal could prove decisive. City travel to the Emirates on the final weekend of November 2026 before hosting the Gunners in January 2027.
Season Finale
The campaign concludes with a trip to Sunderland’s Stadium of Light on 30 May 2027.
