City will travel to Wolves on the first weekend of the 2025/26 Premier League season.
The Molineux fixture will be played at 17:30 (UK) on Saturday 16 August and is set to be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK.
We enjoyed a late, late John Stones winner there in October last season to mark our fourth victory in seven games at Wolves since their return to the top tier in 2017.
It will kickstart our 29th season in the Premier League and see us begin pursuit of what would be a ninth title since the top-flight was rebranded in 1992.
Six of those successes have come in the last eight years, with Pep Guardiola cementing a legacy as one of the finest managers in the game's history.
A week after playing Wolves, we'll host our first Etihad game of the new campaign when Tottenham Hotspur are our visitors.
That is currently scheduled for Saturday 23 August but the kick-off time and date for every match beyond the opening weekend is subject to change once broadcasters have selected the games they wish to show live.
In order for non-season ticket holders to attend any Premier League match at the Etihad in 2025/26, you'll need to be a Matchday or Junior Member.
The membership includes several further benefits, such as monthly video calls with players, retail discounts and competitions!
The first Manchester derby of the season is our second home game of the term, coming on the weekend of 13/14 September, while the reverse fixture will be played at Old Trafford on the weekend of 17/18 January.
We'll end the campaign at home against Aston Villa on Sunday 24 May - an occasion that will stir up plenty of memories of the final day of the 2021/22 season when Ilkay Gundogan's brace either side of Rodri's goal brought us back from 2-0 down to seal the title.
Elsewhere, our games against current defending champions Liverpool fall at home on the weekend of 8/9 November and away on 7/8 February.
We'll go to Arsenal, who ran us close for the title in 2022/23 and 2023/24, on the weekend of 19/20 September before welcoming them to the Etihad on 18/19 April.
As it currently stands, there will be no Premier League football on Boxing Day - with all 20 teams slated for action on 27 December before TV choices have been made. We'll be away at Nottingham Forest in that round of games.
International breaks will see no Premier League action on the weekends of 6/7 September, 11/12 October, 15/16 November and 28/29 March.
As with the 2024/25 campaign, the FA Cup final will be played the week before the final day of the Premier League - this year falling on Saturday 16 May - meaning our trip to AFC Bournemouth is currently pencilled in for Sunday 17 May.
As previously stated, the date and time for all fixtures beyond the opening weekend are subject to change due to broadcast selections.
