Man City's 2026–27 Premier League Schedule Revealed: When They Face Arsenal, Man Utd, and Every Rival

Man City's 2026–27 Premier League Schedule Revealed: When They Face Arsenal, Man Utd, and Every Rival

Manchester City kick off the post-Pep Guardiola era by hosting Bournemouth on the opening day of the 2026–27 Premier League campaign.

The appointment of a new manager, widely expected to be ex-Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca, brings a host of questions surrounding City, though the expectation of trophies remains as strong as ever. After falling short to Arsenal in the previous season, the Cityzens are eager to reclaim the Premier League crown at the earliest opportunity.

Before City can turn their attention to Arsenal, however, they face a derby on the road against Manchester United in gameweek four, followed by a trip to Andoni Iraola's Liverpool just two rounds after that.

City then make the journey to the reigning champions on the final weekend of November, just a fortnight before Maresca's former club make their way to the Etihad in what promises to be a notably tense reunion.

Arsenal visit in the closing week of January, while the final week before March's international break sees Man Utd come to the Etihad.

City's closing stretch of fixtures includes potentially challenging clashes with Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa, interspersed with a trip to Ipswich Town and a final-day away fixture at Sunderland in May.
