Manchester City have a stored founding year of 1894 with Manchester recorded as their home. Their earlier honours include First Division titles, FA Cups and League Cups. The European Cup Winners' Cup was won in 1969/70. The detailed league record here begins with 1992/93.

Relegations at Maine Road

City opened the Premier League era in 9th place before lower finishes in subsequent campaigns. Relegation followed, with the final campaign ending in 18th. Their first return also lasted only a season before another relegation.

The next Premier League spell began while Maine Road was still home. City finished 9th on returning, before moving to the ground now recorded as Etihad Stadium. Lower-half finishes then alternated with upper-half campaigns before a later climb into the top four.

Mancini's championship and the next title

Roberto Mancini's recorded tenure included a 3rd-place season before the league championship. The champions took 89 points. A runner-up campaign followed before another league title, then further top-four finishes.

Guardiola's records and repeated championships

Pep Guardiola arrived before a 3rd-place campaign, followed by the championship with City's highest points total. That title season returned 100 points and their best goal difference in the archive. Their longest winning sequence also belongs to that first Guardiola title campaign, spanning 18 league matches from August into December. The points total in the previous season had been lower, and the goal difference smaller, although both campaigns ended in the top four. They retained the championship on a lower points total.

A runner-up season interrupted the titles, before the club became champions in successive campaigns. A Champions League victory also belongs to that sequence. The final championship in that sequence returned 91 points, above the preceding title season's total but below the earlier record. Later league finishes were lower, with the final campaign of Guardiola's stored tenure improving on the preceding placing. City were runners-up in 2025/26, their latest completed season.
