National Express Provides Travel to Carabao Cup Final for Fans

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 9am, 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 GBP50 for children and GBP55 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.

"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.
