When will Man City face Man United, Liverpool and Arsenal in the 2026-27 Premier League season? | OneFootball

Manchester City have now found out the preliminary dates for their 2026-27 Premier League season, including crunch meetings with their biggest traditional rivals.

The Blues fell just short at the final lap of their titanic battle with Arsenal for the 2026 Premier League title, ending the campaign with a draw and defeat against Bournemouth and Aston Villa respectively to see the Gunners finish clear at the top by seven points.

What’s been going on behind the scenes at Man City?

Pep Guardiola has departed his post as Manchester City manager after an illustrious, trophy-laden decade, with Enzo Maresca set to replace the Catalan as compensation talks progress between lawyers at Stamford Bridge and the Etihad Stadium.

City have also seen a large majority of Guardiola’s backroom staff leave with him and Maresca is expected to have his own pick of assistants to oversee a major period of transition in east Manchester.

The incoming Manchester City manager will be heavily backed in the summer transfer market by sporting director Hugo Viana, who has held preliminary conversations with Maresca over new signings as well as the club’s pre-season plans.

The Blues are set to recruit strongly to build on their impressive Carabao Cup and FA Cup double winning season – Guardiola’s final season at the Etihad Stadium – having gone two seasons without winning the Premier League for the first time since 2017.

As the Blues prepare for the new season, club officials, Maresca and first-team stars currently away in north America representing their respective nations at the FIFA World Cup have learnt their fixture list for the 2026-27 Premier League season.

As for arguably Manchester City’s most notable games against local rivals Manchester United, as well as reigning Premier League champions Arsenal, and historically entertaining meetings with Liverpool, such dates have also been confirmed.
