Manchester City Women have been drawn into Group D of the UEFA Women's Champions League, where they will face the defending champions, FC Barcelona, along with St. Pölten and Hammarby IF. This comes after City secured their place in the group stage with an impressive aggregate victory over Paris FC, finishing with an 8-0 scoreline over the two legs of their qualification match​.

The provisional match dates for the group stage are as follows:

• Matchday 1: October 8/9
• Matchday 2: October 16/17
• Matchday 3: November 12/13
• Matchday 4: November 20/21
• Matchday 5: December 11/12
• Matchday 6: December 17/18

This will be a challenging group for City, especially considering their previous encounter with Barcelona in the quarterfinals in 2021, where they exited the competition with a 4-2 aggregate defeat. However, the team's strong offensive capabilities and solid defensive performance against high-caliber teams signal their ambition to compete at the highest level in this season's tournament
