LONDON, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Acronis, a global leader in cybersecurity and data protection, today announced the renewal of its long-term partnership with Manchester City. The latest extension further reinforces Acronis’ role as a trusted technology partner to support the club’s data protection and backup requirements.
Under the latest agreement, Acronis will continue to provide data backup solutions designed to support Manchester City’s continued growth and increasing data demands. The club will continue to utilise Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud to protect data across its IT environments in the United Kingdom.
Manchester City first partnered with Acronis in 2018 to support its data backup strategy using Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud.

Throughout the partnership, Acronis’ technology has supported Manchester City to scale its data backup operations efficiently during a period of sustained growth, without requiring additional IT resources. By supplementing existing infrastructure, Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud has helped streamline backup processes while maintaining consistent protection and operational continuity.
Jeremy Way, Vice President – Partnerships at City Football Group, commented: “Throughout our partnership with Acronis, we’ve benefited from their technical expertise and strong solutions as our data needs have continued to grow.
“This extension reflects the value we place on our continued relationship with Acronis, and we look forward to building on the partnership in the future.”
