Man City 2025–26 Premier League Fixtures: When Cityzens Play Man Utd, Liverpool, All Key Dates
With the disappointment of last season firmly behind them, Manchester City will kick off their 2025–26 Premier League season with a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
A woeful collapse midway through the season ended City’s hopes of retaining the Premier League title and left them fighting to even qualify for the Champions League, but Pep Guardiola’s side ultimately cruised into third place to seal a spot in Europe’s top competition.
Plenty of money has been spent to ensure such a run of form does not happen again. Tijjani Reijnders, Rayan Cherki and Rayan Aït-Nouri are already through the door and there could still be further new signings in the weeks to come.
Following their opening day visit to Wolves, City round off the first month of fixtures up against Tottenham Hotspur, led by new manager Thomas Frank, and Brighton & Hove Albion, but it is the run of fixtures immediately after which will attract most eyes.
City host the first Manchester derby of the season against Manchester United in September, with Arsenal playing host to Guardiola’s side just one week later. The second round of the derby comes at Old Trafford in January.
Meetings with Liverpool are often circled when looking for potential title-deciders. Arne Slot’s side head to the Etihad in November, before the return fixture in February.
Aston Villa will make the trip to City for the final game of the campaign.
