After another transfer window of significant investment, Manchester City offer what could be the first view of the future of their club on Wednesday when their Club World Cup campaign kicks off against Wydad Casablanca in Philadelphia.

Manchester City enters this year’s tournament looking to become the first club since Spanish superpower Real Madrid in 2018 to win back-to-back Club World Cups. Though they came short of winning a fifth straight English Premier League title, City has the talent to make a run in its second-ever CWC appearance.

With the disappointment of last season firmly behind them, Manchester City will kick off their 2025–26 Premier League season with a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers. A woeful collapse midway through the season ended City’s hopes of retaining the Premier League title and left them fighting to even qualify for the Champions League,

Manchester City will begin their bid to regain the Premier League title next season with an opening clash away to Wolves, the fixture list revealed on Wednesday.

The 25/26 season represents a new beginning for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola and his team will have a completely different look with new players and new coaches joining their ranks.
