Oliver Reiss’ Elite Development Squad welcome Wolverhampton Wanderers to the Joie Stadium for a 19:00 (UK) kick-off, with our CITY+ stream to start just before the game gets under way. It is our first league game of the new campaign, and comes less than a week after our first competitive fixture of 2026/27 which will see us travel to Mansfield Town on Wednesday 19 August for our first of three EFL Trophy group stage games. Last term, our Under-21s fell to an opening weekend defeat at Chelsea to kickstart the 2025/26 season. But, in his first PL2 game in charge since becoming the EDS Lead Coach over the summer, Reiss will be looking to start on the front foot this term. We welcomed Wolves to the Joie in the League Phase last season and it was an impressive match for our young blues who ran out with a 6- win.
