Full breakdown of the Blues’ 2025-26 EPL campaign.
Pep Guardiola will aim to regain his lost crown in the 2025-26 Premier League season, as Manchester City start their new campaign in August. The Blues begin their fresh outing away at Wolves, and conclude the season vs Unai Emery’s Aston Villa in May.
City finished the previous season in third position. Despite having a dreadful phase in the middle, Guardiola managed to gather momentum towards the end. Yet, the fact that Etihad’s faithful were left disheartened at the campaign speaks volumes of the loftily high standards that the Catalan genius has set.
The beginning of the upcoming season will be extremely challenging for Man City. They will face the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United and Arsenal in a dreadful first five encounters. Nonetheless, the Blues have bolstered their setup this year – with big name signings such as Rayan Cherki, Tijjani Reinders and Rayan Ait-Nouri.
Here is the detailed look at Manchester City’s league fixtures for the 2025-26 season:
