Manchester City will begin their 2025-26 Premier League campaign away at Wolves as they seek a seventh title under Pep Guardiola. After finishing third last season, 13 points behind champions Liverpool, City are aiming to reclaim the crown.
The early fixtures present a stern test, with a home clash against bogey team Tottenham in game two, followed by the first Manchester derby against United at the Etihad in game four. That is immediately followed by a trip to Arsenal.
City host Liverpool on November 8, with the return at Anfield on February 2. Arsenal visit in April. The away derby at Old Trafford is in February, where Ruben Amorim holds a winning record over Guardiola from their five meetings.
The Christmas period features matches against West Ham, Nottingham Forest, and Sunderland. The first game of 2026 is at home to Chelsea, and the season ends at home to Brentford.
