The match is scheduled for Wednesday 27 January 2027 at 8pm UK time, at the Etihad Stadium in east Manchester, the time shown on City's own match page. The UK channel depends on which Champions League rights holder picks the game, and their listings will confirm it.
On a weeknight, the tram is the simplest way back: the Etihad Campus stop is right by the stadium, 8-10 minutes from Piccadilly.

How City sell home tickets this season
In 2026/27, men's home tickets go to Official Members: Matchday Membership costs £38 a season, Premium £65 and Junior £20. Each match page sets its own criteria, such as who can buy and how many tickets, and the club says a limited number of matches may go on general sale. Season tickets include every Premier League match; for this European tie, the match page will give the details.
Until then
Register for the "Notify Me" alert on City's match page. If you cannot join, or the sale passes you by, resale is the other route: seats listed on Hellotickets are priced by the sellers, can be above face value, and the final price is shown before you pay. Once the club sale opens, member prices usually come in lower. More on the tiers in our Manchester City Membership guide, and other European nights on the Champions League tickets page.

Where to sit at Etihad Stadium
Arrive by tram and the first stand you reach is the Pep Guardiola Stand, the expanded north end, with a Skybar on top and its own rail-seating area. Walk round clockwise and you pass the East Stand, which fans still call the Kippax, then the South Stand: three tiers, 4,995 rail seats at the bottom, City's most vocal fans and the away section, where Sporting's supporters will be. The Colin Bell Stand completes the bowl on the west touchline, with the Tunnel Club inside.
On Hellotickets, Shortside means an end, Longside a touchline and Central the area around halfway, with the tier giving the height. Two premium areas are listed by name for this game, Heart of the City and Kits Sports Bar. The Etihad Stadium seating plan helps you place any listing.
