- Will Manchester City be relegated from the 2026-27 Premier League? — the market puts it at 26%, with $914 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jul 2027. The market resolves to "Yes" if Manchester City loses its place in the Premier League for the following season due to its final standing, a playoff defeat, or an official league decision during the 2026-27 season. It resolves to "No" if the team remains in the league or if the season is cancelled or postponed after June 30, 2027, at 11:59 PM ET.
- Manchester City — the market puts it at 19%, with $2k traded in the last 24 hours, closing 13 Jun 2027. The market resolves to Yes if Manchester City wins the 2026-27 English Premier League title.
