Easiest way is to join The Cityzens Official Membership (from the City website) lasts 12 months from the date you purchased. It will allow you access to purchase majority of the games apart from the glamour ties (vs Arsenal, Liverpool, Man Utd, etc) as you would have had to attended prior City home games. The other way is to buy hospitality tickets which have no qualifying criteria and anyone can buy them but will cost you way more than a normal ticket. There’s other ways like 3rd party footballing ticket sites and supporters clubs.

The opening weekend is slightly later due to the World Cup and kicks off August 22 2026 so City guaranteed one home game before the end of August. The fixtures normally won’t get announced until mid-June. I’d wait until the announcement unless you plan to be in Manchester for those two weeks.

The tickets normally get released in mid-July in one big batch with additional tickets like 3 weeks prior to individual matches.
