Gameday guide

Expect fast-paced basketball, larger-than-life plays and an electric, family-friendly atmosphere from the moment you arrive.
Our regular scheduled tip-off times are:
Friday Night Basketball - 7.30pm
Sunday Afternoon Basketball - 3.00pm
Doors usually open 90 minutes before tip-off, giving you plenty of time to find your seat, grab some food or a drink, head to our gameday store and soak up the pre-game atmosphere.
Super League Basketball games last for four 10-minute quarters. With time-outs, stoppages and half-time, we recommend allowing approximately two hours from tip-off for the full gameday experience.
And make sure you're in your seat before the action starts - you won't want to miss the player introductions (10 mins before tip).

Our arena entertainment team are here to give you the best experience. Half-time performances, give-a-ways and live DJ sets make sure the vibe is good.
Manchester Basketball gamedays combine live basketball with music, entertainment and plenty of opportunities for fans to interact.
Every game is different, so get involved, bring the energy and help us create the atmosphere.

We support local businesses with a wide range of food & drink options, the very best in the league.
Unlike football you can sample a selection of beers and cocktails from your seat. Our vendors are open before the game in the fanzone area outside the venue and throughout the evening. If you're lucky enough to sit courtside, we also have a courtside bar available.
Whether it's a pre-game pizza, half-time coffee or courtside cocktail, we've got you covered. Please note that individual vendors and food & drink options may vary each game.

The NBPC is easily accessible from across Greater Manchester.
If you're travelling by public transport, the 201 and 203 bus services provide connections to the area. Bike storage is also available at the venue on a first-come, first-served basis.
Game Day Parking
There are two main parking options on game day.
The front car park is reserved exclusively for Manchester Basketball Season Ticket holders.
Additional paid parking is available in the main car park at the rear of the venue. Payment can be made through Parkonomy using location code 1341, or by scanning the QR codes displayed on the car park signage. The rear car park can become busy close to tip-off, so we strongly recommend arriving early and giving yourself plenty of time to park and enter the arena.
