Manchester City are set to kick off their 2026/27 Champions League journey with an away fixture against Porto. The match, scheduled for Tuesday 8 September at the Estadio Do Dragao, will begin at 8pm BST.
This season marks a new era for City in Europe, as Enzo Maresca leads the team in their first Champions League campaign without Pep Guardiola in a decade. City have had a perfect start to their Premier League season, securing wins against Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, followed by a narrow victory over Coventry.
Porto, who are also unbeaten domestically, are returning to Europe's top competition after a two-year absence. The match will be available to watch live on Amazon Prime.
In terms of team news, Manchester City are expected to be without Nico O’Reilly, who sustained a back injury, and Jeremy Doku, who is recovering from a calf issue. Porto will be missing Jan Bednarek due to suspension and Victor Froholdt, who was knocked unconscious in a recent game.
