Premier League | Manchester City 2025/26: Backstage – Discover the Game Behind the Scenes

For those seeking rare access and refined luxury, the Backstage experience at Manchester City redefines matchday hospitality. Designed to take guests into the hidden corners of the Etihad Campus, Backstage combines insider access, gourmet dining, and premium seating with the intimacy of club legends and tactical minds.

Whether you’re a loyal supporter or a corporate host looking to deliver something exceptional, Backstage makes the entire matchday feel like a VIP production—because you’re not just attending a game, you’re stepping behind the curtain.

Go Behind the Scenes with Backstage Access

The signature feature of the Backstage package is its exclusive behind-the-scenes tour, led by a Manchester City club legend. You’ll explore areas of the Etihad usually closed to the public, gaining insights into player routines, logistics, and what truly powers City’s world-class performance.

It’s more than a tour—it’s an immersive walkthrough of elite preparation, guided by those who know the heartbeat of the club from the inside out.

Meet a Legend and Learn Pep’s Process

Your Backstage journey includes a personal meet & greet with a club legend, offering time for conversation, photographs, and storytelling.

Then, go deeper with a private talk from one of Pep Guardiola’s First Team Operations staff. You’ll discover how matchday decisions are made, how players are primed, and what goes into crafting one of the most successful teams in modern football. It’s a powerful peek into the strategy behind the style.

Fine Cuisine and Premium Service

Following your exclusive tour, enjoy a drinks and canapé reception before being escorted to the elegant Tunnel Club Ground level suite, where a contemporary cuisine dining experience awaits.

Your Backstage package includes an inclusive drinks selection—featuring prosecco, house wines, beers, and soft drinks—served with precision and elegance. It’s a stylish space with panoramic pitch views that balances comfort, class, and atmosphere.

Executive-Level Seating Along the Halfway Line

As the match begins, take your seat in executive padded chairs located along Level 0 on the halfway line. These seats offer some of the most desirable sightlines in the stadium, putting you in direct view of tactical formations, sideline instructions, and the full scope of the pitch.

With the roar of the crowd around you and the game unfolding at eye level, Backstage becomes more than access—it becomes an experience you feel with every play.

Exclusive Additions and Lasting Memories

As part of the Backstage package, you’ll receive a City+ Annual Subscription, granting you access to exclusive content long after your matchday is over. You’ll also take home a complimentary matchday programme—a keepsake to mark a day defined by football and finesse.

For certain matches, guests have the option to upgrade to Tunnel Club Premier, enhancing the Backstage experience even further with immersive tunnel access and five-star hospitality. It’s the kind of flexibility that makes this package both powerful and personal.
