Manchester City vs Sporting CP

Manchester City host Sporting CP at the Etihad Stadium on Wednesday, 27 January 2027, kicking off at 8pm, in the final round of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase, when all 36 clubs play simultaneously. It's a personal homecoming for Enzo Maresca as he welcomes his former club to Manchester, closing out a campaign that has already seen City host Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and AEK Athens at the Etihad. With the result carrying real weight for City's push toward a top-eight automatic finish, this decisive fixture ranks among the most consequential of their entire European campaign. With European nights at the Etihad consistently among the most in-demand fixtures in club football, seats for this fixture are expected to sell out fast — book early to secure yours.
