Etihad Campus has its own tram stop which helps to connect the site to areas across Greater Manchester, especially on matchdays.

Operated and managed by Transport for Greater Manchester, trams connect Etihad Campus to 98 other stops across the network including Piccadilly Station and Victoria Station.

This means those travelling by train to the City’s busiest train station can get to the ground easily and efficiently without needing to walk or get a taxi (however they are also viable options).

From the city centre, journeys take around 10-15 minutes depending upon your location.

Tram services run between Etihad Campus and the city centre every six minutes Monday to Saturday and every seven-and-a-half minutes on a Sunday.
