Manchester City has announced an open-top bus parade and a separate After Party to mark the club's successes this season, scheduled for 25 May.
Pep Guardiola will be one of the three managers presented to fans in the middle of the city at 16:00 BST as the city celebration begins.
The club said the parade build-up will start in Manchester's Northern Quarter from 16:00 BST and that the bus will set off at 17:00, travel through Ancoats and on to Ashton New Road before finishing outside the Colin Bell Stand reception at the Etihad Stadium.
City added that tickets are not required for the parade but that a ticketed After Party will run at Co-op Live, where doors will close at 17:00 and the parade will be shown on screens for those inside.
Players are due to arrive at the Co-op Live event at about 18:30, and the After Party will run from 18:30 until 20:00 with live music and player interviews featuring both the men's and women's teams.
The scale of the celebration reflects a season that left trophies across the club: the men's team have lifted the FA Cup and Carabao Cup and still have a chance to win the Premier League, the women's team won the Women's Super League and will play the FA Cup final on 31 May, and the academy won the FA Youth Cup after a 2-1 win over Manchester United at the Joie Stadium on Thursday.
City said the parade and party would mark the achievements of the men's, women's and academy sides, and that City players and the three managers — Guardiola, Andree Jeglertz and Oliver Reiss — will be presented to the crowd at 16:00 BST in the city centre before the route begins an hour later.
The schedule creates a practical tension: doors at Co-op Live close at 17:00 though players are not due to arrive until about 18:30, raising questions for fans who want to see the live interviews and music in the arena after watching the parade on the streets or on screens inside.
There have also been reports that the later event may be used to mark Guardiola's decade in charge and to address speculation about his future; the club's announcement confirms he will be onstage with the other managers and players but does not say whether he will make any statement about his future.
The parade will be free to attend and is designed to carry trophies and people from the Northern Quarter to the Etihad, while the After Party is explicitly ticketed and framed as an evening of music and direct access to player interviews — an arrangement that separates the public street celebration from a paid indoor event.
For fans of mancity fc who plan to follow both, the logistics are clear: gather at 16:00 for the city presentation, watch the bus leave at 17:00, and if they want the indoor experience they must hold a ticket and be inside Co-op Live before doors close at 17:00, with players expected to join the arena crowd at about 18:30.
The night will do what the season already has: put the club’s men’s, women’s and academy success on display. What is unresolved is whether Guardiola will use that public stage to answer the louder question about what comes after a decade in charge — and if he does, that moment will define the club’s story as much as any trophy lift.
