There is a network of cycleways, dedicated lanes, paths and routes providing links across Greater Manchester.
Bikes* are allowed inside the venue but cannot be ridden. They can be pushed through gates and parked in bike stands under E Stand, where there are 10 cycling bays.
By Tram
From Monday 13 July to Sunday 2 August, tram improvement works will take place at Deansgate-Castlefield and Trafford Bar. During this time, additional works will take place along the Eccles line, allowing us to reduce further closures of the tram network.
The following changes will be in place across the network:
- No trams will operate on the Eccles, Trafford Centre and Altrincham lines
- Services operating on the East Didsbury/Manchester Airport lines will terminate at Firswood.
- Services operating on the Rochdale line will terminate at Exchange Square.
Replacement buses will operate between the affected stops. See below for more information

Manchester Super Giants are pleased to team up with Transport for Greater Manchester this year to encourage our fans to travel sustainably to our home fixtures at Emirates Old Trafford. Getting to Emirates Old Trafford on the tram* system couldn’t be easier.
Trams on the Altrincham line operate to Old Trafford which is directly next to the stadium. However, with so many people going to the match, services will be very busy and you may want to walk to another stop before or after the fixture to avoid the crowds.
There are several stops within a short walking distance of the venue.
Firswood: A 10-minute walk away. Board an East Didsbury line or Manchester Airport line service from this stop.
Wharfside: A 15-minute walk away.
Exchange Quay: A 20-minute walk away. Board a tram on the Eccles line
For those visiting the region from further afield there is free parking for Metrolink customers at Park and Ride sites across the network.
Attendees should use contactless for payments, it's the easy way to pay. Just remember to touch-in and touch-out! Plan your journey in advance.

Manchester Piccadilly, Deansgate Castlefield and Victoria train* stations all have access to tram stops, which will take you directly to the ground.
