Manchester City’s Premier League schedule for the new season begins with a home match against Bournemouth. The fixture is set for Sunday, August 23, and is scheduled to be broadcast on Sky Sports. The same set of fixtures also includes an early trip to Old Trafford for the Manchester derby, meaning City face their local rivals relatively early in the campaign rather than waiting for later in the season. The announcement outlines the opening set of opponents and key dates for City’s league matches, framing the start of the season as the beginning of City’s Premier League campaign following Pep Guardiola’s departure. Other details beyond the opening Bournemouth game and the early derby at Old Trafford are not included in the provided reports. Overall, the sources agree on the first-round opponent, the date of the season opener, and the timing of City’s early derby match at Old Trafford.
