Premier League biggest stadiums: Full list of largest, smallest venues for 2025/26 season image

The Premier League is home to some of the biggest clubs in world football and some of the most impressive stadiums in Europe.

With most sides boasting millions of fans from all around the globe, ticket sales are never a problem for top-flight sides, with supporters keen to grab a chance to cheer on their team in person. 

As a result, Premier League capacities have continued to increase, with the majority of top-flight stadiums undergoing various forms of redevelopment across the last decade, and teams even committing vast sums of money to build brand new grounds.

The 2025/26 campaign offers up some of the biggest arenas in club football, with a new ground opening in place of an iconic old venue.

What is the Premier League's biggest stadium this season?

As it is most seasons, Old Trafford, home to Manchester United, remains the largest stadium in the Premier League for the 2025/26 season. The historic ground has a current capacity of 74,879 spectators and was officially opened in 1910.

Being the second-largest football venue in England behind only Wembley Stadium, it is the biggest club-specific ground in the nation. The Red Devils' stadium has undergone some serious updates over the past century with an expansion in 2006 adding 8,000 more seats, but could be on its last legs as United have plans to demolish the famous ground and build a new venue that could become one of the largest ever built.

Two much newer stadiums in the form of the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and West Ham's London Stadium boast the next highest capacities with both holding more than 62,000 fans. Starting this season, Everton moved into their brand new home Hill Dickinson Stadium, which sees their ground increase in capacity by nearly 13,000 seats over their old Goodison Park home.

What is the Premier League's smallest stadium this season?

As the Premier League's bigger sides try to host more than 50,000 fans each weekend, others struggle to cram in less than a quarter of that.

This season, Bournemouth are home to the smallest ground with the Vitality Stadium — otherwise known as Dean Court — able to hold just 11,364 supporters

However, the all-time record is held by Luton Town after the Hatters completed a first-ever Premier League promotion at the end of 2022/23.

The smallest venue in Premier League history was set in the 2023/24 season as Luton's Kenilworth Road home had a capacity of just 10,356. It required a summer of redevelopment prior to the campaign just to get the ground up to Premier League standards after the club was promoted the season before.

Where will proposed new Man United stadium rank?

Twenty-time English champions Manchester United currently play at their long-time home Old Trafford, but the famous venue's days could be numbered. The Red Devils announced plans in March of 2025 to demolish the 'Theatre of Dreams' and build a brand new arena, which is expected to seat over 100,000 fans.

If that plan comes to pass, it would make the new stadium one of the largest not only in England but indeed the world.

No detailed plans have been revealed since the renderings of what the proposed ground would look like once completed and in use.

Arsenal redevelopment could see Emirates Stadium rank higher

First reported by The Telegraph in October 2025, Arsenal have revealed plans to redevelop Emirates Stadium hoping to increase capacity above 70,000.

The overhaul would see the Emirates restored as the biggest club-specific ground in London, overtaking West Ham and Tottenham who have both moved into new homes since Arsenal first relocated from the old Highbury Stadium 19 years ago.

The proposed plan would see the Gunners temporarily move into Wembley Stadium during the rebuild, as it would take significant time to complete.

According to The Telegraph, the redevelopment would involve construction on every part of the stadium, costing "hundreds of millions [of pounds] to complete." The hope is that Arsenal would not only add significant matchday revenue to their balance sheet by increasing capacity, but also alleviate a growing waiting list for season tickets, which has reportedly ballooned to exceed 100,000 individuals.

The report claims that the redevelopment has "not yet reached the stage of seeking planning permissions," so there is quite some way to go in that regard.
