Manchester City are set to broadcast the Champions League final to fans unable to travel to Istanbul – but the game will be shown at a venue in the city centre and NOT at the Etihad due to Weeknd gig
- Manchester City will broadcast the Champions League final in the city centre
- It comes as the club have been allocated just shy of 20,000 tickets for the game
- But fans at home will be able to watch their club in the final at Depot Mayfield
Manchester City are set to broadcast the Champions League final back home for supporters unable to make it to Istanbul.
Pep Guardiola’s side are looking to make history over the next fortnight, with the FA Cup final against Manchester United on Saturday before facing Inter in the European showpiece a week later.
City have been allocated just shy of 20,000 tickets at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium, with the club moving to screen the game in Manchester’s city centre.
With a capacity of 6,000, Depot Mayfield is the chosen venue given the Etihad Stadium is playing host to R&B star the Weeknd on the same night.
The 6,000 tickets will be made up of supporters, guests and staff and the Premier League champions are expected to announce details later in the week.

It follows on from City showing the 2021 final defeat by Chelsea, played during Covid restrictions, to 4,000 people at their training ground. The Etihad’s prior engagement meant using the City Football Academy, situated across the road, was not possible this time.
Depot Mayfield beamed all of England’s World Cup matches over the winter and hosts the Warehouse Project’s iconic club nights in the city.
