Not only is Thursday 18 September the first Champions League game of the season for Pep Guardiola’s side, but it will also see our Under-19s take centre stage in our first Youth League fixture of 2025/26.
We take on Napoli at the Joie Stadium with kick-off scheduled for 15:00 (UK), five hours prior to our Men’s team hosting Napoli’s senior squad at the Etihad.
CITY V NAPOLI | WATCH LIVE ON CITY+
The game will be available to watch live on CITY+ for those with a subscription.
City’s journey in the prestigious European competition last season saw us bow out in the quarter-finals, following a 1-0 defeat to AZ Alkmaar. Ben Wilkinson’s side will be hoping to emulate our run in the competition this season, starting with Napoli, and our remaining League Phase fixtures against AS Monaco, Villarreal, Borussia Dortmund, Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid.
CITY+ subscribers will be able to watch all the action unfold live on mancity.com and the official app on the day of the game.
