Pep Guardiola will commence his spell at Manchester City with a friendly against former team Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena on July 20.
Guardiola led Bayern to three straight Bundesliga titles in his three seasons at the club before moving on to City.
Bayern will begin preparing for the new season under manager Carlo Ancelotti on July 11, but, like City, will be without the players that compete at Euro 2016.
Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge said: "We are looking forward to welcoming Pep Guardiola and his new team so soon in Munich again."
City will then fly out to Beijing to face Manchester United in the International Champions Cup on July 25 before travelling to Shenzhen to take on Borussia Dortmund in the same pre-season competition three days later.
Guardiola, who replaced Manuel Pellegrini on a three-year deal, has wasted no time in starting his work at City and has already secured the services of Germany midfielder Ilkay Gundogan from Dortmund in a deal worth £21m.
