What is the Crystal Palace v Manchester City kick off time?
Kick off at Selhurst Park is 20.00 BST on Friday 28 August 2026, with Sky Sports coverage starting beforehand.
Two managers in the early weeks of their reigns meet under the lights at Selhurst Park, where Crystal Palace play their first home league game of the season.
Pierre Sage has taken over from Oliver Glasner, who left behind an FA Cup and a Conference League after two remarkable seasons in south London.
The former Lens coach started with a 2-0 defeat at Everton, though the underlying numbers were kinder than the scoreline. Palace created four big chances and finished with the better expected goals figure.
Ismaila Sarr is out as he continues individual training on a groin injury, with Liverpool reportedly interested in the winger. Centre-back Chadi Riad remains sidelined with a knee problem.
Manchester City are unbeaten in the league under Enzo Maresca after coming from behind to beat Bournemouth 2-1 last Sunday, Marc Guehi equalising late before Josko Gvardiol won it in stoppage time.
The defensive work is still a concern. City have yet to keep a clean sheet under their new manager, and they won only two of their final five away league games last season.
Jeremy Doku is still working back from a calf injury and midfielder Elliot Anderson is a doubt with a thigh problem, which could open the door for Mateo Kovacic.
Palace have lost six of the last 10 meetings between the clubs and won just once, though that solitary victory was the 1-0 win in the 2025 FA Cup final that brought the club its first major trophy.
