About Emirates Old Trafford
Where is Emirates Old Trafford, and what does it host in September 2026?
Emirates Old Trafford is an international cricket ground in Manchester. On Saturday 19 September 2026, it hosts the third Vitality IT20 of England's white-ball series against Sri Lanka, one of six fixtures across six cities that September. Prestige Corporate Events covers the England v Sri Lanka series here, ground by ground.
Who suits a T20 international at Emirates Old Trafford?
A T20 international at Emirates Old Trafford suits a corporate group weighing up three T20I legs: this is the third and final Vitality IT20 of England v Sri Lanka's series, on Saturday 19 September 2026, after confirmed 18:30 evening starts at Southampton and Cardiff.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has not yet published a start time for the Manchester leg, the only one of the three T20 fixtures still open on timing. The full England v Sri Lanka series covers how this leg sits alongside the other five.
A group wanting a full day out built around the cricket, rather than a single evening session, is better suited to one of the series' three ODI legs: Durham on 22 September, Leeds on 24 September or London on 27 September, each a daytime fixture rather than an evening one.
Is Emirates Old Trafford the same ground as the Old Trafford football stadium?
No. Emirates Old Trafford is Manchester's international cricket ground, home to this England v Sri Lanka fixture. The Old Trafford football stadium is a separate venue in the same city, so keep the two apart when researching cricket hospitality at other grounds.

Emirates Old Trafford hosts the third and final Vitality IT20 of England's series against Sri Lanka, on Saturday 19 September 2026. It follows two earlier T20 internationals, at Southampton and Cardiff, and is one of six fixtures across six grounds in England's white-ball series against Sri Lanka.
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) had not published a start time for the Emirates Old Trafford fixture as of 28 July 2026. Treat the start time as unconfirmed until the ECB publishes it, and hold off on day-shape planning for this leg until the time is set.
The first two Vitality IT20s in this series, at Southampton on 15 September and Cardiff on 17 September, both have a confirmed 18:30 evening start. The Manchester leg on 19 September does not yet have a published start time, so it is the one T20 fixture in the series where day-shape planning is still open until the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirms it.
