Premier League leaders Manchester City have frozen ticket prices for the 2026-27 season - the third consecutive campaign in which they have not increased.

General admission season tickets and Premier League match-by-match tickets for adult and junior members will be retained at the same rate.

The club said they had taken the approach "in recognition of the extraordinary accumulated impact of the current cost of living pressures on fans and their families".

City's price freeze comes at a time when the likes of Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle and Liverpool have all increased ticket prices, with protests taking place at Anfield about the issue earlier this month.

City have also introduced a new bracket of adult ticket prices starting at £25 for some midweek Premier League games, acknowledging the difficulties of attending such matches during a working week.

Supporters have voiced their frustrations this season at the restrictions on transferring tickets to other fans and the club have simplified this method so they can now be switched to anyone without the need to be a member.

Fan advisory board City Matter played a key role in discussions with the club and said: "Over several months we have worked closely and constructively with the club, taking part in positive dialogue with them, sharing a wide range of views from within our fanbase on ticketing related topics.

"The outcome that the club and City Matters have delivered together demonstrates the real and positive impact that City Matters has as the club's official fan network."

Meanwhile, a date for the opening of the new upper section in the North Stand of Etihad Stadium is yet to be confirmed, with 7,000 additional seats being put in place to take the capacity to more than 60,000.
