Manchester City faced Bournemouth at home during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The fixture was scheduled for Sunday 23 August 2026 at the Etihad Stadium. It was one of two Premier League matches listed for 14:00 that Sunday, alongside Brighton & Hove Albion versus Aston Villa.
Manchester City’s home ground is the City of Manchester Stadium, commonly known as the Etihad Stadium because of its naming-rights agreement. Bournemouth, by contrast, play their home matches at Dean Court.
The Sunday schedule also included Newcastle United versus Liverpool at 16:30. That later match makes Newcastle a tempting but incorrect answer. Sunderland were involved on Saturday against Ipswich, while Aston Villa visited Brighton.
