RB Leipzig to host Manchester City in UEFA Champions League; kick-off 1:30 AM IST on Nov 5, 2026
RB Leipzig will face Manchester City in a UEFA Champions League league phase match at Red Bull Arena Leipzig in Eastern Germany, kicking off at 1:30 AM IST on Thursday, November 05, 2026. Martin Demichelis, an ex-defender for Manchester City, will lead RB Leipzig for the fixture.
The sides meet for the first time since November 2023, when Manchester City overturned a two-goal halftime deficit to win 3-2 in a group-stage game at the Etihad Stadium. That 2023 encounter was described in the source as an exciting group-stage match. RB Leipzig return to the Champions League this season after a campaign without European action.
Manchester City have amassed six points from their first three league phase games in this Champions League campaign. The source notes the club must focus on the Champions League ahead of the match. Separately, Yasin Ayari’s goal was sufficient to consign the Cityzens to consecutive Premier League defeats and give up the top place to champions Arsenal.
RB Leipzig have collected three points from their first three league phase games. After those results they are placed 27th in the 36-team league phase standings. The match will be played at Red Bull Arena Leipzig in Eastern Germany.
Broadcasters for the fixture include Sony Sports Network on television and SonyLIV for streaming in India. Viewers in the United Kingdom can watch on TNT Sports, Amazon Prime and BBC. In the United States the match will be available via Paramount+, TUDN and DAZN.
