Both teams will take a short winter break over Christmas. That means less fixtures, but that doesn’t take away from their importance with Ben Wilkinson and Oliver Reiss looking to complete the calendar year as strong as possible.
Below is all the key information on our December fixtures, including date, kick-off times and ticket information.
Fans can also find out what coverage will be available for all the games on mancity.com and the Official Man City App, alongside updates on our Academy Instagram and X: @ManCityAcademy.

Then our focus will turn to our final League Phase fixture in the UEFA Youth League.
We travel to Real Madrid, with kick-off slated for 15:00 (UK) on Wednesday 10 December.
Heading into the fixture, our Under-19s sit 13th, with one point enough to secure our place in the knockouts. Alternatively, if we fall to a defeat, we can still place in the all-important top 22.
The game will be available to watch live on CITY+, with a match report, highlights and full-match replay to follow after full-time.
City v Real Madrid | Tuesday 16 December, 19:00 (UK) | Premier League International Cup, live on CITY+
To complete 2025, Ben Wilkinson’s Under-21s will face Real Madrid, again, six days later.
This time, we welcome the Spanish outfit to the Joie Stadium for our second group game of the PL International Cup.
Kick-off is scheduled for 19:00 (UK), with tickets for the game available here.
If you can’t attend the game, it will also be available to watch live on CITY+.
Shortly after the full-time whistle, a comprehensive match report, post-match reaction, highlights and CITY+ full-match replay will be available on our website and app.
U18s FIXTURES
City v Fulham | Friday 5 December, 19:00 (UK) | FA Youth Cup, live on CITY+
Reiss and his young boys in blue will play just two games in December. The first will see us begin our 2025/26 FA Youth Cup journey.
We welcome Under-18 Premier League South side Fulham to the Joie Stadium for a 19:00 (UK) kick-off on Friday 5 December.
Tickets for the game are available here.
Following last season’s heartbreak in the final, when City were defeated by Aston Villa, Reiss and his team will have their eyes set on winning the prestigious trophy for a fifth time in our history.
The match will also be streamed live on CITY+ for fans in the UK, with regular updates to be posted on our Academy X and Instagram accounts: @ManCityAcademy.

City v Everton | Saturday 13 December, 11:00 (UK) | Under-18 Premier League North, live on CITY+
Finally, we will turn our focus back to league action when we welcome the Toffees to the CFA on Saturday 13 December.
From kick-off, at 11:00 (UK), fans with a CITY+ subscription will be able to watch our final Under-18s game of 2025 on mancity.com and the Official Man City App.
After our last outing in the competition, which saw us dominate Nottingham Forest with a 6-0 triumph, Reiss and his side will be looking to maintain our five-point lead at the league summit, if not extend it.
But fourth-place Everton will be no easy feat. Following the full-time whistle, a detailed match report, highlights, post-match reaction and CITY+ full-match replay will be available for fans on our website and app.
