Few football grounds anywhere have a setting like Craven Cottage.

Fulham's home sits right on the bank of the River Thames in west London, where it has stood since 1896. It's a rare blend of old and new: one side holds a stand more than a century old, complete with original wooden seats, while the other features a brand-new riverside stand overlooking the water.

For more than 130 years, Everton played at Goodison Park. Then, in 2025, the club

made one of the biggest moves in English football history, relocating to the brand-new Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Built on Liverpool's historic waterfront, the stadium holds almost 53,000 fans and has quickly become one of the most striking grounds in the Premier League.

Selhurst Park has been the home of Crystal Palace for more than a

century. Tucked among the streets of South Norwood in south London, the old-fashioned ground is famous for one of the loudest atmospheres in the Premier League. Now, as the club rebuilds its historic Main Stand, Selhurst Park is entering the biggest transformation in its history.

CBS Arena Guide: Coventry City’s Long Road Home to the Premier League

Soccer ball printed with “CBS Arena” on a green pitch under stadium lights, with a white arrow pointing to it.

Few stadiums in English football have a story as complicated as the

CBS Arena. Coventry City have played there since 2005, but for much of that time, the club didn't own it, couldn't control it, and was even forced to play elsewhere. Now, with the stadium finally theirs and the Sky Blues back in the Premier League after 25 years, the CBS Arena is entering its most exciting chapter yet.

Where is the CBS Arena?

The CBS Arena sits in the north of Coventry, in the Longford area, close to the M6 motorway. Its location makes it easy to reach by car from much of the Midlands, though match-day traffic can be heavy.

The stadium has its own railway stop, Coventry Arena station, with direct trains from Coventry city centre. Many fans also use buses from the city, especially on busy match days.

Amex Stadium Guide: How Brighton & Hove Albion Fought for Their Seaside Home

Soccer ball printed with “Amex Stadium” on a green pitch under stadium lights, with a white arrow pointing to it.

Few Premier League clubs had to fight harder for a home than

Brighton & Hove Albion. The Amex Stadium, officially the American Express Stadium, opened in 2011 after more than a decade in which the club had no proper ground of its own. Today, its sweeping curved roof and roughly 31,800 seats stand as a symbol of what a determined fanbase can achieve.

Where is the Amex Stadium?

The stadium sits in Falmer, on the edge of the South Downs just outside Brighton. Its setting is unusual for a Premier League ground, with rolling green hills nearby rather than a tightly packed city neighborhood.

Falmer railway station sits right beside the stadium, making it one of the easiest grounds in the league to reach by train. On match days, extra services run from Brighton and other stations along the coast.

Brentford's home is one of the newest grounds in the Premier League, but it carries more than a century of history. The Gtech Community Stadium opened in 2020, replacing the beloved Griffin Park, where the club had played since 1904. Today, the compact 17,250-seat stadium in West London is home to one of the Premier League's great modern success stories.

Vitality Stadium Guide: Inside AFC Bournemouth’s Small but Mighty Home

Soccer ball printed with “Vitality Stadium” on a green pitch under stadium lights, with a white arrow pointing to it

AFC Bournemouth play in the smallest stadium in the Premier League, and their fans wouldn't

have it any other way. The Vitality Stadium, still called Dean Court by many supporters, holds roughly 11,300 people. Yet it has become one of the most talked-about grounds in English football, thanks to a remarkable rise, a historic first season in Europe, and ambitious plans to nearly double its size.

What makes the Vitality Stadium special?

Villa Park is the home of Aston Villa in Birmingham, and one of the most

historic grounds in English football. Opened in 1897, it has hosted more FA Cup semi-finals than any other stadium, plus matches at the 1966 World Cup and Euro 96. Its famous Holte End is the heart of the atmosphere, and a North Stand rebuild is now underway to push capacity past 50,000.

Some stadiums feel modern. Villa Park feels lived in. It has more than a century of football history in its stands, and it's about to enter a new chapter. Here's what makes Aston Villa's home one of the most important grounds in the country.
