The free event will be available for our games against West Ham and Chelsea.
Having previously extended the event to Co-op Backstage Club, with bars and screens aplenty, we’ll once again be opening the doors to this exclusive area for fans to enjoy.
This means more room, more TV screens to watch the early kick-off games plus games such as pool, table football and arcade machines!
Don’t forget, we’ll also have a live DJ in Backstage Club, playing pre-match music ahead of kick-off!
The event is free for all home fans - you just need to show your matchday ticket to be able to enter.

Entry is via the Canalside podium, at the stadium end of Joe Mercer Way, close to the Etihad Campus tram stop.
Doors open three hours prior to kick-off for each fixture, with last orders called an hour before the game starts to give you enough time to get to your match seat.
Drinks such as Asahi Super Dry and Pepsi Max will be priced the same as inside the Etihad Stadium.
Co-op Live is fully accessible with step-free access and has both indoor and outdoor areas. Access to the indoor areas is subject to capacity so arrive early to avoid disappointment! For more details, visit Co-op Live Accessibility Info.
Please note, if you are looking for family activities tailored for junior fans, we recommend the Kids Fanzone event, which is held at the City Football Academy and open for West Ham only. For more info and to redeem a free ticket for this event, click here.
