The Manchester derby has been moved for broadcast as the Premier League confirmed September's televised fixtures. The clash will mark the first without Pep Guardiola in a decade as Michael Carrick and Enzo Maresca face off.
The match has been rescheduled to Sunday 13 September, rather than Saturday. United have also seen matches against Ipswich, Everton and Fulham all moved to the following day.
City, meanwhile, will face Crystal Palace on a Friday evening at Selhurst Park but otherwise see matches against Coventry and Sunderland remain at 3pm on Saturdays.
Arsenal and Chelsea have both seen three matches moved. The Gunners will face Aston Villa on Monday 31 August, and Sunderland at 8pm on 12 September.
Mikel Arteta's men will meet Chelsea on Sunday 6 September in an early London derby. The Blues see matches against Brighton and Brentford swapped, with the former moving to a Sunday, and the latter played on a Friday evening.
New Liverpool boss Andoni Iraola sees three matches moved for television broadcasters. Their first home match of the season against Nottingham Forest will be broadcast at 12.30 on Saturday 29 August, before facing Ipswich on the Friday evening of the following week.
A large number of Premier League fixtures this season will stray away from the traditional Saturday slot, with nine teams in European competition in 2026/27. Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool are in the Champions League, Bournemouth, Sunderland and Crystal Palace are in the Europa League and Brighton will enter the qualifying rounds for the Conference League.
That could see the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle and Tottenham locked into more Monday and Friday evening games over the course of the season due to their absence from European competition.
