Man City's 2025-26 Premier League Schedule Revealed: All the Blockbuster Clashes with Man Utd and Liverpool
Having put the setbacks of the previous campaign behind them, Manchester City will begin their 2025–26 Premier League journey with an away fixture against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
A devastating mid-season slump destroyed City's chances of defending their Premier League crown and left them scrambling to secure Champions League qualification, though Pep Guardiola's team eventually secured third position comfortably to earn their place in Europe's premier tournament.
Significant investment has been made to prevent a similar downturn in performance. Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki and Rayan Aït-Nouri have already joined the squad, with additional reinforcements potentially arriving in the coming weeks.
After their season opener at Wolves, City will complete their first month facing Tottenham Hotspur, now under new boss Thomas Frank, and Brighton & Hove Albion, though it's the subsequent fixture list that will draw the most attention.
City welcome the season's first Manchester derby against Manchester United in September, followed by a challenging away trip to Arsenal just seven days later. The second derby encounter takes place at Old Trafford in January.
Clashes with Liverpool are typically highlighted as potential championship-defining moments. Arne Slot's team visits the Etihad in November, with the reverse fixture scheduled for February.
Aston Villa will travel to City for the season's concluding match.
