Euro 2028: Which stadiums are hosting games?

The nine venues hosting Euro 2028 in the United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland have been revealed.

Matches will be played across England, Scotland, Wales and the Republic of Ireland, but Northern Ireland will not be a host after Belfast's Casement Park was removed as an option.

Host nations will have to qualify for the 2028 tournament. However, they would be guaranteed to play their group games on home turf if they do so directly.

Both semi-finals and the final are set to take place at Wembley Stadium.

England were hosts in 1996, while Wembley and Glasgow's Hampden Park also hosted games at Euro 2020.

The opening game of the tournament will be held at Cardiff's Principality Stadium, with the full fixture schedule being released after the draw.

Location: London, England

Capacity: 86,000

Fixtures: Group stage, quarter-finals, semi-finals and final

The venue is the largest in the United Kingdom and the second-biggest in Europe after Barcelona's Nou Camp. It hosted the 1966 World Cup final before it was knocked down in 2003 and a new stadium built in its place.

It is the home of England's national football team and annually hosts the FA Cup semi-finals and final, EFL Cup final, Community Shield and EFL play-off finals.

It also hosted the Champions League final in 2011, 2013 and 2024, as well as the Euro 2020 final and England women's triumphant Euro 2022 final.

England will play their second and third group stage games at the stadium, should they qualify directly.

Location: Cardiff, Wales

Capacity: 73,000

Fixtures: Group stage, round of 16 and quarter-finals

The Principality was built in 1999 for the Rugby World Cup and is the current home of Wales' national rugby union team, but it has a long association with football too.

Wales played the majority of their fixtures at the venue until 2009, but Craig Bellamy's side have only featured twice at the ground since.

It also hosted the FA Cup final, EFL Cup final, Community Shield and EFL play-off finals between 2001 and 2006 whilst the new Wembley was under construction.

The opening football match of the 2012 Olympics was also held in Cardiff, as well as the 2017 Champions League final.

Location: Newcastle, England

Capacity: 50,000

Fixtures: Group stage and round of 16

Newcastle United's historic home will host four group stage matches as well as a knockout game during the 2028 tournament.

The stadium entertained three group games at Euro 1996 and also hosted fixtures during the 2012 Olympics.

England are no strangers to St James' Park having played four fixtures in the north east since the millenium, including a friendly against Bosnia-Herzegovina in 2024.

The Three Lions could play their round of 16 clash there should they top their group.

Location: Dublin, Republic of Ireland

Capacity: 50,000

Fixtures: Group stage, round of 16 and quarter-finals

The stadium officially opened in May 2011 and is home to Ireland's rugby union team and Republic of Ireland's football team.

It has been the location of two European Cup finals in rugby union and even hosted Taylor Swift during her Eras tour in 2024.

Both the 2011 and 2024 Europa League finals took place there, but Dublin missed out on hosting fixtures for Euro 2020 due to Covid-19 restrictions.
