Man City 2026–27 Premier League Fixtures: Arsenal, Man Utd Dates, Full Schedule
By Tom GottSports Illustrated
Manchester City begin the post-Pep Guardiola era with a visit from Bournemouth on the opening day of the 2026–27 Premier League season.
The arrival of a new manager, likely former Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca, raises plenty of questions about City, although the demands of silverware have not faded. Having fallen short against Arsenal last season, the Cityzens will be looking to get their hands on the Premier League title as soon as possible.
Before City can start thinking about Arsenal, however, they have a derby away against Manchester United to consider in gameweek four, and there's also a trip to Andoni Iraola's Liverpool two rounds later.
City then travel to the defending champions on the final weekend of November, just two weeks before Maresca's former employers head to the Etihad for what seems destined to be an awkward reunion.
Arsenal come to town in the final week of January, and the final week before March's international break brings a visit from Man Utd.
City's run-in features potentially tricky meetings with Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa, mixed around a trip to Ipswich Town and an away day up at Sunderland on the final day of the season in May.
