A total of 18 buses will operate for each game and you can access more information regarding these routes below.
The buses have helped to provide an increasingly sustainable option for travelling to and from the Etihad Stadium, with more than a thousand people travelling on the buses each matchday.
The buses will run for every Men’s First Team match at the Etihad Stadium, including all Premier League, Champions League, and domestic cup competitions throughout the 2026/27 season.
