Manchester City remain subject to a separate sanctions hearing after an independent commission found them guilty on 114 Premier League financial rule breaches and most cooperation charges in late September 2026. The club filed an appeal on October 1, claiming multiple errors and irrefutable evidence of innocence, with the appeal process required to conclude within 12 weeks and a panel decision expected between January and March 2027. UEFA continues monitoring the Premier League case before considering its own action on related Financial Fair Play charges. Potential sanctions include points deductions, fines, transfer bans, or title stripping, though timing remains uncertain and the league has signaled a desire to resolve the matter this season. Recent release of the full 40-page ruling document has not altered the pending appeal or sanctions timeline.
