Well before the match starts, in our dedicated fan zone, City Square, you can enjoy live entertainment hosted by our City Square presenters from 10.30am.  

At City Square there are three large screens, a main stage and the Summerbee Bar and family friendly Blue Moon Café.

Join us for live music, competitions, special guests and so much more as we count down to kick off!

We will invite a number of special guests to come and chat with our brilliant presenters, Natalie Pike Danny Jackson and BBC Radio Manchester’s Mike Minay.

We link up with Cel Spelman and the Match Day Live team from the City studio as they bring us the team news, insight and analysis about todays game all with City legends and pundits.

A the Cityzens Hub you can get your picture taken with the women’s Euros trophy as well as create your own dream team video.

City Square closes 30 minutes before kick-off to allow everyone to get in to support the team with enough time but we open up at the final whistle when we open up after the match to link up again with Cel and the team to host our very own post-match analysis in a Match of the Day style.

City Square is also on Twitter, so you can keep up to date with what’s happening for each match.

Our Blue Carpet Experience takes place outside The Colin Bell Stand West Reception entrance and includes our very own unique team arrival. The team will be arriving at 11am so this is your chance to welcome them off the bus. The show is aimed at our family audience and if the little ones want to see their heroes in person, this is the best place to be!

We have prizes and giveaways every week from scarfs to money-can’t-buy experiences.

We also have live music, performers and entertainment, as well as exclusive guests for interviews in front of the fans. Don’t miss this part of our match day and get up close to our players as they arrive off the team bus!

Both at City Square and around the stadium there are food kiosks featuring fan favourites such as fish and chips, street food and pizza. There are local pop up food vendors offering various styles – including Northern Soul, Triple B, HM Pasties and Garden Gourmet!

Over at City Square fans can visit the Blue Moon Café for food and refreshments or the Summerbee Bar for a pre-match drink with the City faithful.

You will find a range of hot and cold options including our vegan alternatives, halal options, compostable beer cups and edible coffee cups.

New activities within the Family Stand for this season include ceiling flags featuring fan chants, the “Family Stand Says” for junior fans to ask questions of each other and voice opinions. Appearances from the Manchester City mascots – the Moonies, roaming selfie frames, face painters, Match Attax giveaways and a colouring-in wall.

Turnstiles open 2 hours before kick-off at 10.30am and once inside the stadium you can enjoy food and refreshments from our concessions stands.

The last 15 minutes before kick-off really ramp up to get everyone ready and in good voice for the team walking out.

At half-time our City presenters host live entertainment on the pitch with activities including football freestylers, special guests like former City players and interactive fan games.

Head over straight back to City Square as it re-opens for post-match analysis with our Match Day Live presenters. The Café and Bars reopen, result dependant, and we analyse the game and review the goals, incidents and matchday stats.

They are there to help and if you have any questions please ask as they are only too happy to help. They are regularly stocked with free goodies and treats for all so give them a smile.
