MONDAY

Open Training | City Football Academy | 10:30 (UK)

Pep Guardiola + Player Press Conference | Estadio de la Ceramica | 18:30 (UK)

Preparations for our UEFA Champions League tie at Villarreal continue on Monday, beginning with Open Training from 10:30 (UK).

You can watch 15 minutes of the session live on mancity.com and our official app, with a full video replay available soon after its conclusion.

Then, Pep Guardiola and one of the City players will face the media in Spain.

As always, the press conference will be streamed live on our channels but written reviews and a full video replay can be accessed later in the day should you miss it in real time.

TUESDAY

Villarreal U19s v City U19s | UEFA Youth League | Mini Estadi de la Ciudad Deportiva del Villarreal | 11:00 (UK) | Live on CITY+

Villarreal v City | UEFA Champions League | Estadio de la Ceramica | 20:00 (UK)

A double header against Villarreal follows on Tuesday, beginning with our Under-19s from 11:00 (UK).

The match for Ben Wilkinson’s young charges is available to watch live on CITY+, with pictures beginning shortly before kick-off.

After the game, you can access comprehensive match reaction including a report, interviews, highlights and a full-match replay.

Then, from 20:00, City face Villarreal in our third Champions League assignment of the season.

FRIDAY

Pep Guardiola press conference | City Football Academy | 13:30 (UK)

The manager will host his usual Friday press conference to preview our Premier League clash at Aston Villa on Sunday.

Once again, it’ll be streamed live on mancity.com and our official app before detailed reaction and a full video replay are published that afternoon.

The second part of the press conference will then be made available from 22:30 on Saturday.

SATURDAY

Stoke v City | Under-18 Premier League | Clayton Wood | 11:00 (UK)

Blackburn v City EDS | Premier League 2 | Lancashire FA County Ground | 11:00 (UK) | Live on CITY+

Our Under-18 side, managed by Oliver Reiss, will look to bounce back in Staffordshire on Saturday.

The Young Blues have made a brilliant start to the 2025/26 campaign, winning five league games in a row handsomely before a 3-2 home reverse to Liverpool in our last game.

Reiss will look to ensure that result is the exception rather than the rule as his side travel to Stoke for an 11:00 (UK) kick-off.

City are top of the division, joint with Manchester United, but with a game in hand.

You’ll be able to read a match report on the full-time whistle and also hear from the headline makers.

At the same time, Ben Wilkinson’s EDS team will head to Reading for the latest Premier League 2 assignment.

The match, which also kicks off at 11:00 (UK), will be available to view on CITY+ by subscribers.

We head into the game in positive mood after a 3-0 victory at Reading in our last league encounter.

There’ll be plenty of reaction to follow, including a match report, highlights and a CITY+ full-match replay.
