The game will kickstart our 30th 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.

We follow up that clash against the Cherries with an away game at Crystal Palace, Pierre Sage taking charge of his first Selhurst Park encounter since succeeding Oliver Glasner.

That match is currently scheduled for Saturday 29 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.

From there, it’s a home clash with newly promoted Coventry City on Saturday 5 September with former Blue Frank Lampard returning to the Etihad.

Then it’s the first Manchester derby of the season as we travel to Old Trafford to take on United on Saturday 12 September, while the reverse fixture will be played at the Etihad on Saturday 20 March.

We’ll end the campaign with a trip to Sunderland on Sunday 30 May.

Over the festive period, we will head to St James’ Park to take on Newcastle on Boxing Day followed by a clash with Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Wednesday 30 December while we’ll see in the New Year with a home game against Tottenham on Saturday 2 January.

Elsewhere, our games against current defending champions Arsenal currently fall away on Saturday 28 November and at home on Saturday 30 January.

We’ll go to Liverpool on Saturday 10 October before welcoming them to the Etihad on Saturday 8 May.

As with the 2024/25 and 2025/26 campaigns, the FA Cup final will be played the week before the final day of the Premier League - this year falling on Saturday 22 May - meaning our home clash with Aston Villa is currently pencilled in for Sunday 23 May.

As previously stated, the date and time for all fixtures beyond the opening weekend are subject to change due to broadcast selections.

Please also be aware that some fixtures may be subject to movement from Saturday to Sunday due to participation of our opponents in the Europa League or Europa Conference League the preceding Thursday.
