Derby day, final day repeat, festive fixtures - Six key Man City Premier League dates to watch

Manchester City's 2025/26 Premier League fixtures were confirmed on Wednesday morning, with fans now able to start planning ahead of the new campaign.

City relinquished their Premier League title last season, having won the league four years on the spin, finishing in a disappointing third place.

They are gunning to reclaim their title this season and now they have their calendar, they can start preparations for some of the key dates of the season.

With that in mind, from derby day to the opening and final games of the season, here is a look at some of City's key fixtures across the season.

City have been handed an opening day trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers. Vitor Pereira's side ended last season strongly and it could prove to be a tricky tie to begin the season.

That being said, Pep Guardiola's side have an excellent record at Molineux and have won on four of their last five visits to the Black Country.

After the first game of the season, the next fixture City fans will always search for is when they will face Manchester United in the Manchester derby.

The first Manchester derby of last season's Premier League came in mid-December but City will host United at the Etihad Stadium on the weekend of September 13.

The reverse fixture at Old Trafford will be played on the weekend of January 17 and City will be hoping for better fortune against their cross-city rivals this season after failing to beat them last term.

The FIFA Club World Cup will see 32 of the world's best club teams including Man City, Chelsea, Real Madrid, PSG and Bayern Munich play across 63 games from June 14-July 13.
