List of football stadiums in England
Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Use British English
This is a list of football stadiums in England, ranked in descending order of capacity. There is an extremely large number of football stadiums and pitches in England, and a definitive list of stadiums would be difficult to produce. This list, therefore, is limited to stadiums that meet one of the following criteria based on current capacity:
- Used for football and have a capacity larger than 5,000.
- Used by one of the 92 clubs in the top four tiers of the English football league system<ref>This includes, for reference, stadiums located outside England; however such stadiums are not numbered below.</ref> as of the 2025–26 seasons in the (Premier League, EFL Championship, EFL League One, and EFL League Two).
- Used by one of the 12 clubs in the top tier of women's football in England, the Women's Super League, as of 2025–26.
A person who has watched a match at the stadiums of all 92 Premier League and English Football League (EFL) clubs in England and Wales may apply to join The 92 Club.

Old stadiums
{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}
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 and developments
Stadiums which are currently being built, redeveloped, or have planning approval without work having commenced include:
