United Kingdom · By country
UK stadiums
The 24 grounds in the United Kingdom with a page here, grouped by country rather than ranked, and each one carrying the thing that page actually answers. Every capacity is attributed to the club, venue operator or governing body that published it.
Each card carries the capacity, the club or operator, and the one thing that page settles that the club's own site does not. England, Scotland and Wales below; Northern Ireland has no written-up ground yet.
England
-
Allianz Stadium
England national rugby union team
82,000

Amex Stadium -
Anfield

Anfield seating plan -

Emirates Stadium

Arsenal stadium tour -
Etihad Stadium
Manchester City
Disputed
City renumbered the whole ground for 2025/26, so most published plans describe a stadium that no longer exists.

Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford

Brentford publish 17,250 fans rather than 17,250 seats, and the word is doing work.

Hill Dickinson Stadium capacity -

Manchester United
74,233

Grounds without a page
Not every UK ground here has one. A stadium gets a page only when the club or venue publishes enough for the page to say something a reader cannot get from the club's own site — otherwise it stays a row on a ranking, which is the honest place for it. The Premier League ranking lists all twenty grounds whether or not they are written up.
The rankings
Every ground in the datasets appears on one of these, whether or not it has a page of its own.
- Premier League stadiumsAll twenty grounds for 2026/27, ranked — including the two sourced from someone other than the resident club.
- Largest stadiums in EuropeWembley leads at 90,000, not Camp Nou, which is operating at 62,652 during rebuilding.
- Biggest stadiums in the worldThe largest venue on earth is a cricket ground, and twelve of the top twenty are American college stadiums.
- Largest stadiums in the USAEight of America's ten biggest belong to universities rather than professional franchises.
- Danish Superliga stadiumsTwo grounds stand apart and the other ten sit within about thirteen hundred places of each other.
Guides
- Stadium capacity explainedWhy two sources print different numbers for one ground and both are right.
- Stadium seating and sectionsBlocks, away ends, safe standing, and why the accessible entrance is often not the one on your ticket.
- Stadium tours and ticketsAway tickets come from your own club, and tours stop on days you would not expect.
