Manchester City has once again etched its name into the chronicles of football history, achieving an unprecedented four-in-a-row Premier League championship. This historic feat will be celebrated with a grand parade through Manchester city centre, allowing fans to join in the festivities and cheer for their heroes.
Event Details
The celebration will take place on Sunday, 26 May, starting at 7:30 pm. The parade route will begin at the National Football Museum, winding through Cathedral Gardens and along Deansgate. Fans will have multiple opportunities to see the team and the coveted silverware, as the open-top bus will stop at various points along the way.
Important Considerations
This Sunday is set to be a bustling day in Manchester, with the Great Manchester Run also scheduled to take place. The run, attracting tens of thousands of participants, will culminate on Deansgate, necessitating road closures and a brief period for route clearance. Therefore, the parade is planned for the evening to ensure smooth transitions between events.
Parade Timings:
- Start: 7:30 pm
- End: 9:00 pm
Road Closures:
- Detailed information on road closures can be found at Manchester City Council’s road closure page.
Travel Advisory:
- Public transport is highly recommended due to road closures.
- Attendees should travel light and avoid bringing large bags or glass bottles for safety and convenience.

We know how much this means to fans of the club young and old – not just in Manchester but around the globe – and the homecoming parade on Sunday promises to be an unmissable night to remember for fans and players alike as they celebrate this historic title win together.”
