Manchester City faces Brentford in the Premier League on Saturday, May 9, at 5:30 p.m. Fans can watch the match live on Sky Sports Premier League and Sky Sports Main Event, with coverage starting at 5 p.m.
Stadium Rebrands for Special Community Event
Ahead of the fixture, Manchester City rebrands its home ground as The City in the Community Etihad Stadium. This change highlights the club’s annual Community Matchday, which spotlights the efforts of its official charity, City in the Community (CITC).
Marking 40 Years of Impact
The event celebrates CITC’s 40-year legacy of delivering health, education, and inclusion programs across Greater Manchester. The rename applies only to this game, marking the first such modification in 15 years.
Player Support and Social Value
The men’s first-team squad contributes a significant donation to the charity for the second consecutive year. CITC generated an estimated £43.7 million in social value during the 2024/25 season.
By updating the stadium name, the club leverages its global broadcast reach to promote social initiatives to millions of viewers worldwide. Match-day signage and digital displays feature the new branding, and players enter the pitch wearing custom jackets with the CITC logo.
