Porto v Manchester City: TV channel, live stream and Champions League 2026-27 details

Porto will host Manchester City at Estadio do Dragao on Tuesday, 8 September 2026, as the two sides begin their 2026-27 UEFA Champions League campaigns in the opening round of the league phase.

Manchester City arrive in Portugal with ambitions of challenging for European football’s biggest club prize once again. The English side are aiming to reclaim the trophy they won for the first time in their history in 2023, and will be targeting a second Champions League title this season.

The match also represents the start of a new era for City. Pep Guardiola has left his position as manager, with Enzo Maresca taking charge of the club. The Italian coach will therefore face an early test on the European stage as he begins his tenure in Manchester City’s dugout.

City will be looking for a positive result away from home and a strong opening to their league-phase campaign. Porto, however, will be seeking to use home advantage and the support of their fans to make an impressive start of their own.
