We head east for the first time since 2023, when we played our pre-season tour across Japan and South Korea before going to Saudi Arabia to win the FIFA Club World Cup.
This time, we’ll be putting all the pieces in place for our 2026/27 campaign with a fresh look to things following this summer’s departure of Pep Guardiola.
It’s a chance to lay down a marker ahead of what promises to be another thrilling campaign.
With three fixtures now confirmed in Asia, we’ve compiled all the key dates announced so far into one place.
All of our matches will be available to watch in certain regions on CITY+, with an exact global broadcast schedule for each game to be confirmed closer to the time.
But don’t worry, there’s plenty more to come by way of fan opportunities to see our star players.
We’ll add to this article as and when those are confirmed...

City v Inter, Hong Kong Kai Tak Stadium, Saturday 1 August, 12:30 (UK)
What better way to kick off the new era than with a match against a giant that we hold so much history with?
It was Italian champions Inter that we beat in the 2023 Champions League final in Istanbul to seal an historic Treble.
We’ve since played again in the Champions League, but now we’ll meet again far from home. It promises to be a special matchup.
Get down to the stadium early, as we’ll have a pop-up shop and plenty of entertainment to get you in the mood for kick-off!
K League All-Stars v City, Seoul World Cup Stadium, Wednesday 5 August, 12:00 (UK)
We’ll come up against the very best players in the K League, South Korea’s top-flight, in a special match in Seoul.
