List of football stadiums in England

This list, therefore, is limited to stadiums that meet one of the following criteria based on current capacity:

Old stadiums

Following crowd troubles in the 1980s, and regulations imposed after the Taylor Report, several English league stadiums have been built or completely redeveloped in the last few years. Prior to 1988, however, the last newly built Football League ground in England was Roots Hall, Southend, which was opened in 1955.

Future stadiums and developments

Stadiums which are currently being built, redeveloped, or have planning approval without work having commenced include:

StadiumExpected
capacity		ClubNotes
New Trafford Stadium (new build)100,000 Manchester United New stadium proposed to replace Old Trafford, announced in March 2025. [70]
Leazes Park Stadium (new build)c. 65,000 Newcastle United Possible new stadium proposed to replace St James' Park, with a tentative completion date of 2031. [71]
New Birmingham City Stadium (new build)c. 62,000 Birmingham City On 9 April 2024, Birmingham City purchased a plot of land in Bordesley Green to use to build a 62,000-seat "super stadium", complete with a "Sports Quarter" that will house all of the club's teams and their training facilities. Costing £3bn, it will replace St Andrew's and has the optimistic goal of completion in time for the 2029–30 season. [72] [73] [74]
City of Manchester Stadium (redevelopment) (under construction)61,474 Manchester City A final expansion phase, extending the second tier back with an additional 7,900 seats commenced in 2023, with completion aimed for 2026. The stadium's capacity after the third phase is expected to exceed 61,474. [75] [76]
Stamford Bridge (redevelopment)c. 60,000 Chelsea In June 2015 Chelsea unveiled plans to expand Stamford Bridge to a capacity of 60,000, [77] however in January 2018, in spite of the local councils' approval of the £2bn development, plans were blocked due to objections of a single local resident, referencing light restrictions of the build; so the plans were shelved. [78]

Under new ownership though, Chelsea have continued to explore their options with regards to potential redevelopment, rebuilding or relocation to a new site; even going as far as to implement a task force to oversee the potential viability of these options. [79] In October 2023 Chelsea completed an £80m purchase of the Sir Oswald Stoll Mansions adjacent to the ground, though any redevelopment works are still a long way off being rubber stamped. [80]

Elland Road (redevelopment)c. 53,000 Leeds United Leeds United's Elland Road expansion plans for a phased project to give the ground Uefa’s elite status and retain unique atmosphere. This would mean it would become one of the top 10 stadiums in England should it be allowed, though this would depend on their chances of promotion to the Premier League. [81] [82]
Villa Park (redevelopment)c. 50,000 Aston Villa In January 2023, plans were approved by Birmingham City Council to redevelop Villa Park and the surrounding area, involving the demolition and rebuild of the North Stand, increasing capacity from 7,000 to 15,000 seats. In addition to this, the developments also included a hotel, museum and club store among other amendments in the surrounding area. The ground would see capacity increase to approximately 50,000. [83] However in January 2024, the proposals were officially shelved by the club, citing their desire to not reduce capacity in the time-span of the build, putting these proposals at risk. [84] A reduced expansion of the stand, bringing overall to 48,909, was approved by the Birmingham City Council on 28 August 2025, [85] [86] with plans to increase stadium over 50,000 via other areas by 2028.
King Power Stadium (redevelopment)c. 40,000 Leicester City In September 2022, Leicester City Council approved initial plans for expansion of the King Power Stadium as well as wider developments of the land around the ground, including a fanzone, hotel, indoor arena and residential tower among other works. The plans were fully approved in December 2023 by LCC, [87] however a date for when the development could break ground has yet to be confirmed, due to the project being subject to finance. [88]
City Ground (redevelopment)c. 35,000 Nottingham Forest In February 2019 the club confirmed an extended lease on The City Ground. This extended lease meant the club was now able to proceed with plans to redevelop the stadium and surrounding area. Central to this redevelopment was the replacement of the Peter Taylor Stand with a new 10,000-seater stand, and improvements to the Trentside area, Brian Clough and Bridgford Stands.

The club submitted plans for these developments of the ground, with the proposed capacity increase up to 38,000 after completion. [89] A modified planning permission with 35,000 capacity was approved by the council in June 2025. [90]

Selhurst Park (redevelopment)c. 34,000 Crystal Palace Plans for a new 13,500-seater Main Stand were approved by Croydon Council in April 2018 [91] with plans even scheduled to commence as early as January 2019, however due to Covid-19 restrictions, the financial constraints this brought along and amendments to the initial proposal, the development has been delayed significantly. In October 2022 however, the revised plans were once again approved, [92] though the club are still awaiting final approval before any work can commence. [93]
