Premier League Stadiums 2026/27: All 20 Grounds, Capacities and Locations

Last updated: 21 August 2026

Capacity note: Stadium capacities can change because of redevelopment, safety certification and seating configuration. This guide uses current published figures where available and retains approximate wording where a club has not published a precise 2026/27 total.

The 2026/27 Premier League brings together 20 very different football grounds: historic city-centre homes, large modern arenas, compact venues and several stadiums changing while the season is under way.

This guide covers every current Premier League stadium, with the club, location, capacity and the key context readers need to understand the league’s stadium landscape.

Premier League Stadiums 2026/27 at a Glance

The Largest Premier League Stadiums

Old Trafford remains the largest current Premier League ground in this guide, with a published capacity of 74,310. It is followed by Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Anfield and Emirates Stadium among the venues with clearly published figures above 60,000.

Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium also belongs among the league’s largest grounds after its North Stand expansion. The club’s current wording is “more than 60,000”, so it is best treated as part of that leading group rather than assigned a false precise ranking.

Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium, with a published capacity of 52,769, has added a major new waterfront venue to the Premier League. St. James’ Park and Stadium of Light underline the league’s substantial stadium presence in the North East.

The Smallest and Most Compact Grounds

Brentford’s 17,250-seat Gtech Community Stadium is the smallest ground with a precise current capacity in this guide. Its modern design reflects a club that moved from Griffin Park in 2020 while remaining close to its historic west London home.

Vitality Stadium is normally the league’s smallest venue by a considerable margin, but its redevelopment means Palvenor should not present the older 11,307 figure as a confirmed 2026/27 capacity. The right comparison is one of scale: Bournemouth remain a compact top-flight club while their home develops.

Craven Cottage, Selhurst Park, MKM Stadium and Portman Road also offer a markedly different scale from the league’s largest arenas. Capacity alone does not define a club’s importance, but it helps explain the range of settings in which a Premier League season unfolds.

All 20 Premier League Stadiums

Arsenal — Emirates Stadium

Arsenal play in the Emirates Stadium in Holloway, north London. Its published capacity of 60,704 places it among the competition’s largest grounds and gives Arsenal a major modern home close to the club’s traditional north London base.

The stadium remains Arsenal’s permanent home for 2026/27. Licensed standing is being introduced in part of the ground during the season, but the article should retain the published 60,704 figure unless Arsenal issues an updated capacity notice.

Aston Villa — Villa Park

Villa Park, in Aston, Birmingham, remains Aston Villa’s home. It is one of English football’s longstanding club grounds and is entering a significant period of redevelopment.

The crucial 2026/27 fact is the North Stand closure. Villa have stated that the stadium will operate at just over 37,000 for the season while work takes place. That is a temporary, approximate figure and should not be presented as Villa Park’s normal long-term capacity.

AFC Bournemouth — Vitality Stadium

AFC Bournemouth play at Vitality Stadium in Kings Park, Bournemouth. The ground remains the club’s permanent home and sits within a parkland setting close to residential areas.

Its redevelopment is the important current context. Work continues during 2026/27, so the safest wording is that the stadium’s capacity is affected by redevelopment during 2026/27. Future expansion targets are not a substitute for a current certified matchday number.

Brentford — Gtech Community Stadium

Brentford’s Gtech Community Stadium is in west London and has a capacity of 17,250. The club moved there in 2020 after 116 years at Griffin Park.

The stadium is a compact modern venue and a useful example of a club retaining its local identity through a nearby move rather than relocating far from its traditional area. It is Brentford’s permanent home in 2026/27.

Brighton & Hove Albion — American Express Stadium

Brighton & Hove Albion play at the American Express Stadium in Falmer, East Sussex. The ground is also widely known as the Amex Stadium and has a published capacity of 31,876.

Falmer sits between Brighton and Lewes, giving the club a location distinct from the central-city settings of many Premier League rivals. The stadium has been Brighton’s permanent home since 2011.

Chelsea — Stamford Bridge

Chelsea’s Stamford Bridge is located in Fulham, west London, and has a current published capacity of 40,022. It has been Chelsea’s home since the club was founded in 1905.

The ground predates the club and originally opened as a sporting arena in 1877. Its west London location, long history and constrained urban surroundings make it one of the most recognisable stadium settings in the division.

Coventry City — Coventry Building Society Arena

Coventry City play at the Coventry Building Society Arena in Coventry, West Midlands. The venue’s stadium bowl has a capacity of 32,609 and is the club’s permanent home.

Coventry moved to the stadium in 2005. Their return to the Premier League means the arena is back in the top-flight stadium list, providing one of three promoted-club venues in the 2026/27 season.

Crystal Palace — Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace’s home is Selhurst Park in Selhurst, south London. The current published capacity is 26,000, while the club’s Main Stand redevelopment is intended to lift the eventual figure beyond 34,000.

For 2026/27, the key distinction is between present and future. Selhurst Park remains operational during the project, and the article should use the current 26,000 capacity rather than the planned post-redevelopment total.

Everton — Hill Dickinson Stadium

Everton play at Hill Dickinson Stadium, located at Bramley-Moore Dock on Liverpool’s waterfront. Its published capacity of 52,769 makes it one of the largest current Premier League stadiums.

The ground became Everton’s permanent home for 2025/26, ending the club’s long association with Goodison Park as its first-team stadium. It is one of the clearest examples of the league’s current move towards major new venue development.

Fulham — Craven Cottage

Fulham remain at Craven Cottage in west London. The club’s riverside ground has a current published capacity of 29,600 and remains one of the league’s most distinctive traditional stadium locations.

The venue combines historic continuity with recent development work. For this guide, its practical significance is simple: it is Fulham’s permanent 2026/27 home, not a temporary venue.

Hull City — MKM Stadium

Hull City play at MKM Stadium in Kingston upon Hull. The ground has a published capacity of 25,586 and remains the club’s permanent home on their return to the Premier League.

The stadium’s current commercial name should be used rather than older names. Its inclusion gives the league another major regional venue beyond the better-known metropolitan grounds.

Ipswich Town — Portman Road

Ipswich Town’s home is Portman Road in Ipswich, Suffolk. The current published capacity is 30,056, and the ground remains the club’s permanent home for 2026/27.

Portman Road brings an established East Anglian football setting back into the Premier League. The article should keep the profile focused on its current role and avoid importing outdated Championship-era capacity references.

Leeds United — Elland Road

Leeds United play at Elland Road in Beeston, Leeds. Its current capacity is 37,645, and the ground has been Leeds’ home since 1919.

Leeds have confirmed plans to expand Elland Road to around 53,000 in the future. That development is important context, but it is not the stadium’s 2026/27 capacity; the current figure remains 37,645.

Liverpool — Anfield

Liverpool’s Anfield ground has a current capacity of 61,276 following the redevelopment of the Anfield Road Stand. It remains the club’s permanent home in the Anfield district of Liverpool.

The current capacity places Anfield among the league’s largest stadiums while retaining an established historic setting. The club’s expansion increased the ground beyond 60,000 without a move away from its traditional home.

Manchester City — Etihad Stadium

Manchester City play at Etihad Stadium in east Manchester. The club’s North Stand expansion means the stadium now has capacity of more than 60,000.

The exact current matchday figure should not be invented where the club’s published wording is approximate. Wider work around the Etihad Campus continues, so this is one of the stadiums whose capacity and facilities deserve a final check whenever the guide is updated.

Manchester United — Old Trafford

Manchester United play at Old Trafford in Trafford, Greater Manchester. Its current published capacity is 74,310, making it the largest ground in this 2026/27 guide.

Old Trafford has been United’s home since 1910. Future-stadium proposals and wider regeneration discussion do not alter the basic current fact: United remain at Old Trafford for the 2026/27 Premier League season.

Newcastle United — St. James’ Park

Newcastle United play at St. James’ Park in central Newcastle upon Tyne. The stadium has a published capacity of 52,361 and remains the club’s permanent home.

Its central-city setting makes it one of the Premier League’s most immediately identifiable stadium locations. Any future development discussion should be kept separate from the current 2026/27 venue information.

Nottingham Forest — City Ground

Nottingham Forest’s home is City Ground in West Bridgford, Nottingham. The current published capacity is 31,042.

The ground sits beside the River Trent and remains Forest’s permanent home. Use the club-preferred reader-facing form “City Ground” in the table and main article text.

Sunderland — Stadium of Light

Sunderland play at Stadium of Light in Monkwearmouth, Sunderland. Its published capacity of 48,707 makes it one of the larger stadiums in the current Premier League.

The venue opened in 1997 to replace Roker Park and remains Sunderland’s permanent home. Its return to the Premier League restores a major Wearside stadium to the top-flight landscape.

Tottenham Hotspur — Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is in Tottenham, north London, and has a capacity of 62,850. It opened in 2019 on the site of Tottenham’s former White Hart Lane home.

The stadium is one of the competition’s largest modern arenas. Its scale places it alongside Anfield, Emirates Stadium, Etihad Stadium and Old Trafford in the league’s upper capacity group.

Stadiums Changing in 2026/27

Villa Park: Aston Villa’s North Stand is closed for the full season. The temporary capacity is just over 37,000, with a larger future stadium planned after the redevelopment.

Vitality Stadium: Bournemouth’s stadium is undergoing phased redevelopment. The project has a future capacity objective, but the current 2026/27 capacity should remain unstated precisely unless the club publishes a certified figure.

Etihad Stadium: Manchester City’s North Stand expansion has taken capacity beyond 60,000. The wider campus project continues, so the stadium’s current description should remain “more than 60,000” rather than a fabricated exact total.

Selhurst Park: Crystal Palace’s Main Stand redevelopment is designed to take capacity beyond 34,000. The current published capacity remains 26,000 while the existing ground continues to operate.

Elland Road: Leeds’ expansion plans would take the ground to around 53,000 in the future. For 2026/27, Elland Road’s capacity remains 37,645.

The Promoted Clubs’ Stadiums

Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Hull City bring three established stadiums into the 2026/27 Premier League. Coventry Building Society Arena has a capacity of 32,609, Portman Road holds 30,056 and MKM Stadium holds 25,586.

Each is a permanent club home rather than a temporary top-flight arrangement. Stadium size does not determine a club’s prospects, but these venues form an important part of the season’s new landscape.

Final Thoughts

The Premier League’s stadium map is defined by variety. Old Trafford and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium show the scale available at the top of the game; Craven Cottage, Portman Road and Selhurst Park reflect the value of established local homes; Hill Dickinson Stadium shows how quickly the landscape can change.

Redevelopment adds another layer to the 2026/27 season. Villa Park, Vitality Stadium, Etihad Stadium, Selhurst Park and Elland Road each demonstrate that a stadium guide is never entirely static. The essential facts may be simple, but the grounds themselves continue to evolve.

Stadium names, capacities and redevelopment details were checked as of 21 August 2026. Capacity figures can change through safety certification, construction phasing and seating configuration.
