Manchester City start the post-Pep Guardiola era at home to Bournemouth on the opening day of the 2026\/27 Premier League season. The fixture list lays out a campaign that pairs early high-profile matches with a challenging finish.<\/p>\n
Before an appearance against Arsenal later in the calendar, City face a derby away at Manchester United in gameweek four and, two rounds after that, a trip to Andoni Iraola\u2019s Liverpool. The schedule also has City travelling to the defending champions on the final weekend of November, followed two weeks later by what the original report describes as \u201can awkward reunion\u201d when Maresca\u2019s former employers come to the Etihad.<\/p>\n
Arsenal visit in the final week of January. The final matchweek before March\u2019s international break brings Manchester United to the Etihad, setting up another moment of note in the first half of the season. Across December and the New Year City have fixtures stacked around the festive period, including matches on Boxing Day and New Year\u2019s Eve.<\/p>\n
The run-in contains potentially tricky meetings with Chelsea, Liverpool and Aston Villa, interspersed with a trip to Ipswich Town. The original schedule also references an away day up at Sunderland on the final day of the season in May. The published list includes Ipswich Town away on 15 May and a final set of fixtures stretching into late May.<\/p>\n
