Etihad Stadium Transport Guide for EURO 2028
How do I get to the Etihad Stadium from Manchester Piccadilly?
Tram from Manchester Piccadilly, walking routes and pre-booked parking for the Etihad.
The Etihad Stadium is the easiest of the EURO 2028 venues to reach by public transport in Manchester. The Etihad Campus tram stop, on Metrolink's Ashton-under-Lyne line, sits directly outside the West Stand and runs every six to eight minutes from Manchester Piccadilly. From Piccadilly Station the walk takes around 25 minutes through the Eastlands regeneration area. On-site parking is limited and largely reserved for permit holders; pre-booked Park & Walk spaces at nearby Sportcity venues are the most reliable car option. Trains from across the UK arrive at Manchester Piccadilly, three stops from the stadium on the tram.
