Existing stadiums

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.

A final expansion phase, adding a matching third tier to the North Stand, is expected to commence some time shortly.

Stamford Bridge c. 60,000ChelseaOn 30 June 2015, Chelsea unveiled plans to expand the stadium to a 60,000 seater.

The design pays homage to the club's history as their one and only venue.

City Ground
c. 38,000NottinghamOn 28 February 2019 the club confirmed an extended lease on The City Ground.
