CITY+ subscribers can watch our prestigious pre-season friendly against Palermo live next month.
We take on our sister CFG club in the inaugural Anglo Palermitan Trophy on Saturday 9 August, with kick-off set for 20:00 (UK).
Pep Guardiola’s side will be looking to step up preparations ahead of the 2025/26 campaign with new signings Rayan Ait-Nouri, Marcus Bettinelli, Rayan Cherki and Tijjani Reijnders all keen to impress on the eve of their first campaign with the Blues.
For Palermo, it’s a perfect way to kick off their anniversary celebrations as they mark 125 years since their inception as the Anglo Palermitan Athletic & Football Club.
The exciting encounter also marks the home debut for their new head coach and Italian World Cup winner Filippo Inzaghi, who will take charge of the team in front of the Rosanero fans at the Renzo Barbera for the first time.
In the build-up to the game, until Friday 8 August, there’s an early bird offer available for CITY+ where you can subscribe annually for £19.99 and save £15. Just use the code PALERMO15 to access the game plus a full range of fantastic behind-the-scenes content from the heart of the club. Alternatively, you can pay £4.99 for the month and cancel anytime.
You can access CITY+ through either mancity.com or our official app as anticipation builds ahead of a new campaign for the boys in sky blue.
There’s also the option to cast the match onto your TV from mobile devices.
As well as coverage of the clash as it happens, those with an active CITY+ subscription will also have access to a full-match replay bringing you the full 90 minutes of the game from Italy.
That means if you’re unable to watch the game live, you can do the next best thing and check it out later that evening.
