Which team won 2–1 at the Etihad Stadium during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend?

Manchester City won 2–1 against AFC Bournemouth at the Etihad Stadium during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.

The match was played on Sunday, 23 August 2026, with Manchester City hosting Bournemouth. City’s two goals secured three points in their first league match of the new campaign.

The fixture was one of two Sunday matches scheduled for the same 14:00 kick-off time, alongside Brighton & Hove Albion versus Aston Villa. The Etihad Stadium is Manchester City’s home ground and is located in Manchester, England.

The result should not be confused with Newcastle United’s 2–2 draw against Liverpool later that day. It also differs from Hull City’s 2–0 win over Manchester United, which was the opening Saturday lunchtime match.
