National Express is offering direct coach travel for Manchester City Football Club fans heading to the Carabao Cup Final at Wembley on Sunday 22 March 2026.

The UK’s largest scheduled coach operator is running several dedicated services, taking hundreds of Cityzens from the Etihad Stadium straight into Wembley’s official coach park, just minutes from the stadium entrance.

On the day of the final, coaches will begin departing Etihad Stadium from 10am, arriving at Wembley Stadium well ahead of the 4:30pm kick-off against Arsenal. Return journeys will not depart until after the thrilling final has finished, even if it comes down to extra-time and penalties. Return coach tickets start from just £50 for children and £55 for adults.

As the Official Coach Supplier to Wembley Stadium, National Express’ dedicated services are a perfect match, helping to enhance the matchday experience for Man City fans while reducing emissions from supporter travel.

Bhavik Patel, Senior Commercial Manager for National Express, said:

“As the UK’s largest scheduled coach operator and Official Coach Supplier to Wembley Stadium we play a key role in connecting fans with key sporting events, and we’re really excited to help make travel to the Carabao Cup Final even easier for Man City fans.

“With limited rail services from Manchester on matchday, our dedicated services between Etihad Stadium and Wembley provide an affordable, stress-free alternative to parking hassles, traffic queues and any last-train worries, meaning supporters can simply focus on enjoying the match.”

Fans can expect a comfortable journey, with an onboard toilet, leather reclining seats, free Wi-Fi on selected services and USB power sockets available onboard.
