Manchester City found guilty of Premier League financial breaches

On September 25, 2026, an independent commission officially found Manchester City guilty of nearly all charges related to financial regulation breaches. The allegations involve 115 separate counts spanning nine seasons, from 2009 to 2018. The club is accused of providing inaccurate financial data and failing to properly disclose details regarding the remuneration of players and the manager.

While the commission has issued its verdict on the violations, the final sanctions against the club have yet to be determined. Potential consequences remain broad, with experts noting that penalties could range from severe points deductions to expulsion from the Premier League.

Manchester City is expected to formally appeal the verdict. Representatives for the club have stated that the legal process is ongoing and involves several complex stages before a final conclusion is reached. The club continues to contest the findings as the disciplinary process moves into its next phase.
