Match details: Manchester City v Napoli, UEFA Champions League 2026/27 league phase, Etihad Stadium, Manchester. Date and kick-off: to be confirmed by UEFA (fixture list due 29 August 2026).
Man City v Napoli hospitality at the Etihad Stadium is a Champions League 2026/27 league phase fixture, and UEFA has not yet set the date or the kick-off time: it will fall between September 2026 and January 2027. Nothing is on sale yet, so register your interest on this page and we call you first when Manchester City release hospitality for it.
This is one of four home nights in the new league phase. City also host Paris Saint-Germain, the two-time defending champions, along with Sporting CP and AEK Athens, and travel to Barcelona, Porto, RB Leipzig and Lens. Thirty-six clubs sit in a single table, each playing eight different opponents, and the top eight go straight through to the round of 16.
The obvious story is Kevin De Bruyne. He joined Napoli on a free transfer on 12 June 2025, after 422 appearances and 16 major trophies across ten years at Manchester City, and the 2026/27 draw sends him back to Manchester. Napoli were last at the Etihad in September 2025, a night that turned on the 21st-minute sending off of their captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo and finished 2-0 to City. Massimiliano Allegri is now in charge at Napoli, having taken over from Antonio Conte for the 2026/27 season. De Bruyne is not the only Manchester name in the squad either. Napoli signed Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United in summer 2026, and the Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay, another former Manchester United player, is in Allegri's squad too.
Napoli arrive as a serious side, not a name on a draw sheet: Serie A champions in 2024/25 and runners-up in 2025/26, with the Supercoppa Italiana won along the way. City have won both of the most recent meetings, 4-2 in Naples in November 2017 and 2-0 at the Etihad in September 2025. The last one carried a milestone with it. Erling Haaland's opener that night was his 50th Champions League goal, reached in only his 49th appearance in the competition, the fastest anyone has got there. He followed it with the 2025/26 Premier League Golden Boot, 27 goals and his third.
City are changed at the top. Pep Guardiola stepped down on 22 May 2026 after ten years and 20 major trophies, and Enzo Maresca was appointed on 29 June 2026 on a three-year contract, so 2026/27 is Manchester City's first season without Guardiola since 2015/16. They come into it off a two-trophy season, the FA Cup and the League Cup, a second-place Premier League finish on 78 points and a round of 16 exit to Real Madrid. This is their sixteenth consecutive season in the competition.
The Etihad Stadium sits on Ashton New Road, Manchester, M11 3FF, and has been Manchester City's home since 2003 after opening for the 2002 Commonwealth Games. It holds more than 61,000 following the North Stand expansion, which is open for 2026/27 and which the club named the Pep Guardiola Stand on 22 May 2026, in honour of its most successful manager. Hospitality at the ground covers a range of styles, from the Tunnel Club with its view of the first-team arrival, to the stadium's 70 executive boxes, set above the second tier in the north, west and east stands. New for 2026/27 in the Pep Guardiola Stand, the club has opened City Hall, a bar behind the goal at Level 0 with padded seats, Crossbar, a sports bar themed on the club's goalkeepers at Level 1, Zadie's, a restaurant serving Pan-Asian food with balcony seating, and the Pitch View Rooms, private rooms for twelve guests with their own balcony. In the Colin Bell Stand, The Residence by Etihad is led by chef Adam Reid, with live food preparation and private balcony seating. Longer-standing areas include Citizens, Citizens Back Four, Legends, The 1894 Club Bar, The Commonwealth Bar and KITS. What the club opens for a given European night varies, and we confirm the exact areas for this fixture when packages are announced.
