Where and when is Manchester City's parade and what time does it start?

Manchester City are to hold a victory parade for the fourth consecutive year as they celebrate the club's historic Premier League title win.

The Blues will take to the streets on Sunday (May 26) to show off their silverware in a rite-of-passage victory tour around the city after they became the first team in the history of English football to win four consecutive league titles.

The parade is expected to last for two hours from 7.30pm until around 9pm owing to the Greater Manchester Run taking place earlier in the day with runners finishing the race along Deansgate.

Huge crowds are expected to turn out to see the four-time champions lift the Premier League trophy from an open-top bus that will travel from the National Football Museum through Cathedral Gardens and along Deansgate, stopping at several points along the way. Supporters have been asked to travel light, with no big bags and no glass bottles.

Manchester City Council has warned that there will be a significant number of road closures and extensive bus diversions throughout the day due to the Great Manchester Run and parade.

The council has said the tram will be the best choice of travel on Sunday with many stops located close to spectating points along the parade route, notably Victoria, Shudehill, St Peter's Square and Deansgate-Castlefield. On Sunday, services will operate every 15 minutes across all lines.

Exchange Square tram stop will close from 5pm, with trams diverting from Victoria to St Peter's Square via Shudehill and Market Street.

Bus users are advised to check with their operator to see whether routes or times may be impacted. A bus diversion guide is available online at
