The 2026–27 season will be the 132nd season in the existence of Manchester City Football Club and their 25th consecutive season in the top flight of England football. In addition to the domestic league, Manchester City will also participate in the FA Cup, EFL Cup and UEFA Champions League, entering the latter for the 16th consecutive season.

This will be club's first season since 2015–16 without Pep Guardiola as manager following his resignation at the end of the previous campaign.[1] It is also the first since 2015–16 not to feature John Stones; and the first since 2016–17 not to feature Bernardo Silva, both of whom departed on the expiry of their contracts.

At the end of June, Enzo Maresca was appointed as the new manager on a three-year contract.[2]

Season summary

Pre Season

Manchester City began their preparations for the 2026–27 campaign with the appointment of Enzo Maresca as manager on 29 June 2026, succeeding Pep Guardiola following his departure at the end of the previous season.[3] Maresca’s arrival marked the beginning of a transitional summer, with the club expected to reshape key areas of the squad after the exits of long-serving players John Stones and Bernardo Silva.

City’s pre-season planning was shaped significantly by the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with a large portion of the first-team squad involved in the knockout stages of the tournament, including key figures such as Erling Haaland, Rodri and Jérémy Doku; resulting in staggered returns to training and a reduced senior group available for the opening weeks of pre-season.[4] In all, six first team players remained in competition with England, Spain and France in the final week of competition.

Transfer activity during June and early July focused on reinforcing the defensive line and adding depth in midfield, with City linked to multiple right backs and a progressive midfielder suited to Maresca’s possession‑focused approach.[5] The club also monitored potential additions in wide attacking positions, aiming to increase flexibility across the forward line.[6]

A major development in early July was the imminent signing of Elliot Anderson from Nottingham Forest, with reports indicating that City had agreed a club‑record fee of £116 million for the midfielder as part of Maresca’s restructuring of the squad.[7] The club later confirmed the transfer was agreed, and formalities were completed when the player returned from his World Cup duties on 23 July.
