Home of Boxing and UFC Superfights

Co-op Live, backed by Oak View Group (OVG) and City Football Group (CFG), is set to become the new hub for boxing and UFC events, challenging London’s O2 arena for the country’s biggest bouts. The venue's strategic location on the Etihad Campus makes it the perfect spot for sports and entertainment.

Music-First Venue with Star Power

Aside from sports events, Co-op Live will primarily focus on hosting music concerts, with plans to hold around 120 events per year, including 100 concerts. Even pop star Harry Styles is on board as an investor, expressing his pride and excitement for the project, citing Manchester's vibrant music scene as a key factor in his involvement.

Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable

Not only is Co-op Live a state-of-the-art entertainment venue, but it's also leading the way in sustainability. The arena will be powered solely by renewable energy, featuring 10,500 solar panels on-site and zero carbon emissions. Additionally, the venue will utilize rainwater to reduce water waste and support local suppliers for its construction.
