List of football stadiums in England facts for kids

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
Stadiums which are currently in development include:
| Stadium | Expected capacity |
Club | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| City of Manchester Stadium (redevelopment) | 61,474 | Manchester City | In August 2015 construction of the first two phases of stadium expansion were completed and subsequently passed all safety requirements at a specially organised test event on 12 August 2015. The South Stand has been extended with the addition of a third tier of seats and three rows of additional pitchside seating have also been added to all stands, expanding the current capacity of the City of Manchester Stadium to 55,097. A final expansion phase, extending the second tier back with an additional 7,900 seats, will commence in 2023 for completion in 2026. The stadium's capacity after the third phase is expected to exceed 61,474. |
| Stamford Bridge (redevelopment) | c. 60,000 | Chelsea | On 30 June 2015, Chelsea unveiled plans to expand the stadium to a 60,000 seater. The exhibition held at Stamford Bridge, for local residents, businesses, season ticket holders and members provided a glimpse for Chelsea fans of blueprints for a rebuilt 60,000-capacity stadium. |
| Villa Park (redevelopment) | c. 55,000 | Aston Villa | The first stage of a 10-year long project to redevelop Villa Park involves plans for a rebuild of the North Stand, starting at the end of the 2022–23 season. The development would see the 7,000 capacity North Stand demolished and a new, 15,000 capacity stand built: with a hotel, museum and store built behind it. This would see the capacity of Villa Park increased to around 55,000. |
| Everton Stadium | c. 52,888 | Everton | On 24 March 2017, Everton announced they had agreed to purchase the land at Bramley-Moore Dock located in Vauxhall, Liverpool with intent to build a new £300m-plus stadium to build community sights near to the new ground as well. |
| King Power Stadium | c. 40,000 | Leicester City | In September 2022, Leicester City Council approved plans for Expansion of the King Power Stadium subject to finance. |
| City Ground (redevelopment) | c. 38,000 | Nottingham Forest | On 28 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 City Ground and surrounding area. Central to this redevelopment will be the replacement of the current Peter Taylor Stand with a new 10,000-seater stand, and improvements to the Trentside area, Brian Clough and Bridgford Stands.
The club are hopeful that building work will commence at the end of the 2019–20 season. The new, modern, state-of-the-art structure will see The City Ground's capacity become the highest in the East Midlands, reaching 38,000 after completion. |
| Power Court Stadium Project | c. 23,000 | Luton Town | Proposed new stadium for Luton Town on the Power Court area of Luton town centre. Aiming for completion by the start of the 2020–21 season. Plans were approved for a 23,000 stadium to be built in 2021. |
| Kidlington Triangle | c. 16,000 | Oxford United | Proposed new stadium for Oxford United in Kidlington, Oxfordshire. Due to the lease agreement of Oxford's current ground the Kassam Stadium, expiring in 2026, the aim for completion of the new stadium is estimated for the start of the 2025–26 season. An agreement has been reached on heads of terms for Oxfordshire County Council to lease land near Oxford Parkway train station. Though plans are still in progress. |
| Eco Park | c. 5,000 | Forest Green Rovers | Proposed new stadium for Forest Green Rovers in Eastington, Goucestershire.
