Manchester City's 2025/25 Premier League fixture list has been confirmed.
Supporters are always drawn to key dates in the calendar, none more so than the opening game of the season which will see City make the trip to the West Midlands to take on Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Similarly, derby day is always a big game in the calendar and City will host Manchester United on the weekend of September 13.
But one game that always captures the attention is where City will be playing over the festive period - namely on Boxing Day - as supporters try and plan around the football to see friends and family.
And while a date and a time is yet to be confirmed, City will make the trip to Nottingham Forest on the weekend of Saturday, December 27, with the game potentially being moved to Boxing Day.

As away trips go, the 82-mile jaunt between the Etihad and the City Ground isn't too bad a journey but City will hope for better fortune than last season when they were beaten 1-0 by Nuno Espirito Santo's side.
Boxing Day has proven to be a happy fixture for City over the years as they have won 11 times on that day. Only Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham have been more successful on Boxing Day since the Premier League's inception in 1992.
City will make the trip to Sunderland around December 30, before rounding off the festive period with a home game against Chelsea on the weekend of January 3, which will be their first game of 2026.
