Manchester City’s eight UEFA Champions League Group Stage fixtures confirmed

Manchester City’s fixtures for the newly-formatted UEFA Champions League Group Stage have been published.

Manchester City have discovered their fixtures for the newly-formatted UEFA Champions League, with Pep Guardiola’s side set to play eight matches across a 36-team league-phase, with four matches at the Etihad Stadium and four away from home.

The Sky Blues lifted the famous European trophy for the first time in 2023, beating Inter Milan at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, courtesy of Rodri’s historic second-half strike.

Manchester City will need to finish in the top eight of the new 36-team league table to automatically qualify for the last-16 of the competition, with Group Stage fixtures taking place between September and January.

Clubs that finish between ninth and 24th place will compete in a two-legged play-off to secure a place in the last-16 of the competition, meanwhile teams finish in between 25th and 36th will be automatically eliminated.

Manchester City will welcome Inter Milan, Club Brugge, Feyenoord and Sparta Prague to the Etihad Stadium, as well as visiting Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Sporting CP, Slovan Bratislava.
