The game will kick-off at 14:45 (UK).

Main summer transfer window opens | Monday, June 16

The transfer window reopens and will remain in place until Monday, 1 September 19:00 (UK) for Premier League, EFL and Scottish Premiership clubs.

City v Wydad AC | Wednesday, June 18 | 17:00 (UK)

The Blues’ first Group G clash is against Moroccan side Wydad AC.

The match will be played at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia and Guardiola’s men will be looking to start with a win against a side we have never previously met.

City v Al Ain FC |  Sunday 22 June | 02:00 (UK)

Our next game is against Saudi Pro League side Al Ain at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

If City can win the opening two Group G matches, we are likely to progress to the Round of 16.

Fans in the UK and Europe will have to stay up late to watch this clash, with a 2am kick-off.

Juventus v City | Thursday 26 June | 20:00 (UK)

Our third group game will see City take on Juventus – a side we have failed to beat in our last six competitive meetings.

Guardiola’s side will look to end that run at the Camping World Stadium in Orlando, though both teams can progress to the knockout phase if results have gone positively.

Winning Group G would set up a clash against the runners-up of Group H on 29 June in Atlanta, whereas finishing second in Group G will set up a Round of 16 clash with the winners of Group H – potentially Real Madrid – or Al Hilal, Red Bull Salzburg or Mexican side Pachucha.
