Manchester City will celebrate their historic fourth Premier League title in a row with a parade on Sunday – regardless of the outcome of the FA Cup final.
Pep Guardiola’s team has the chance to play another domestic double against city rival Manchester United at Wembley on Saturday.
Even if they lose that, City’s squad will embark on an open-top bus parade from the National Football Museum and along Deansgate.
The celebrations are expected to start around 7.30pm, on a day when a marathon is also taking place in the city centre. The planned route is similar to 2022, which ended at Beetham Tower.
Guardiola claimed on Sunday that City have proven themselves as the best team in the history of English football and gave his stars two days off after clinching the title with victory over West Ham.

The party continued until early Monday morning. After drinks at the Etihad Stadium, Guardiola’s squad continued to the new Greek restaurant Fenix in the city centre, where they finished around 5am.

And the party continues after the FA Cup final, with City’s parades usually seeing 100,000 fans line the streets.
‘Congratulations to Manchester City. To be crowned Premier League champions again and for an astonishing fourth year in a row is an incredible achievement,” said Councilor Bev Craig, Leader of Manchester City Council.
“It shows once again that Manchester’s sporting achievements are truly second to none.
‘We know how much this means to fans of the club, young and old – not just in Manchester but around the world – and Sunday’s homecoming parade promises to be an unmissable evening for fans and players alike as they pursue this historic title to celebrate. win together.’
