Yankee Stadium (temporary) / Etihad Park (opening 2027) gates typically open 60-90 minutes before the scheduled kickoff for New York City FC matches. The exact time can vary depending on the match and any special pregame events or ceremonies.
Arriving early is recommended to avoid long security lines, explore the stadium, grab food and drinks, and soak in the pregame atmosphere. The supporters' sections often have organized pregame activities that start well before kickoff.
