Man City: Premier League 2026/27 fixtures and schedule

Manchester City will begin Premier League life after Pep Guardiola with a home fixture against Bournemouth on the opening weekend of the season, Sunday August 23, live on Sky Sports, while there is an early visit to Old Trafford for the Manchester derby.

After travelling to Crystal Palace for their second game and hosting newly promoted Coventry City, City face Manchester United on the weekend of September 12. The return game against United is scheduled for March 20.

There are testing away games in the first half of the campaign because City also travel to Liverpool and Aston Villa in October before going to Arsenal in November - meaning that each of their away games against the rest of last season's top five come first.

City are scheduled to go to Newcastle on Boxing Day, while their Premier League season concludes at Sunderland in May.
