Monday
The beginning of the week also represents the start of City’s pre-season preparations.
We go into the 2023/24 season as reigning Premier League and European champions, and Pep Guardiola’s men are back at the City Football Academy following a well-earned rest to begin sharpening up for the new campaign.

Tuesday
The following day, City’s fixtures for the upcoming 2023/24 Barclays Women’s Super League campaign will be released.
Despite ultimately coming up short, Gareth Taylor’s side were involved in a thrilling four-way title race with Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, and will have our sights set on being crowned champions for only the second time in our history this time round.
As well as securing key players such as last season’s top scorer Khadija ‘Bunny’ Shaw, captain Steph Houghton and experienced defender Demi Stokes to new contracts, the addition of Dutch midfielder Jill Roord adds a new dimension to our exciting young squad.
We will discover our 2023/24 fixture list at 10:00 (UK) on Tuesday 18 July, with mancity.com and the official Man City app once again providing you with everything you need to know.
Elsewhere, CITY+ and Recast subscribers can enjoy the first episode of ‘3in3’.
The three-part documentary series follows City’s Elite Development Squad on our journey to securing a third Premier League 2 crown in a row.
