As the home of football, England has its fair share of incredible places to go and watch the beautiful game. From huge, brand-new arenas to old-school stadiums that feel like they might not be around for too much longer, there are so many amazing spots throughout the football pyramid.
With the World Cup taking place in the middle of the season, fixtures are going to be crammed in either side. It won’t be great for the players, but it means supporters will have regular opportunities to get out to the grounds and cheer on their favourite teams.
If you want to make sure you’re sampling the best of what the country has to offer, make sure you check out these stadiums.
Anfield
It gets said a lot, but there really isn’t anything like a European night under the floodlights at Anfield and it’s certainly one of the best football stadiums in England to visit. It’s been the home of Liverpool since they were founded in 1892 and provides an atmosphere that is unrivaled in the country.
Don one of their famous red home shirts, rise to your feet, and belt out “You’ll Never Walk Alone” before watching one of the finest teams in the world.
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
There were heavy hearts when the time came for Tottenham to move out of White Hart Lane, but the pain of that and almost two full seasons at Wembley soon proved worthwhile.
Brentford may now have the newest stadium in the Premier League, but the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been the benchmark since it opened in 2019.
Inspired by the “Yellow Wall” of Borussia Dortmund, the south stand is a sweeping single tier that can house 17,500 home fans, providing an experience like no other in the country.
Kenilworth Road
This might be one for fans looking for a bit of nostalgia and is a must on our list of best football stadiums in England to visit.
In contrast to the glitz and glamour of Tottenham’s new ground, Kenilworth Road is an example of a dying breed of stadia – it almost feels like going back in time with the support poles coming down from the roofing and the mismatched stands.
Away fans will get the unique experience of entering the ground through a row of houses before ascending steps that overlook the back gardens of the entire road!
Villa Park
Aston Villa have been playing at Villa Park for 125 years, so there are few other stadiums in the country with as much history; you get a sense of that as you approach the imposing Holte End.
It has hosted World Cup and European Championship games as well as FA Cup semi-finals and produces a phenomenal matchday atmosphere.
Wembley
Of course the national stadium features on the list of best football stadiums in England to visit!
The iconic arch hosts some of the most important games in English football – the FA Cup semi-finals and final, and international matches.
The anticipation builds as you walk down Olympic Way and the interior of the stadium certainly doesn’t disappoint. It’s a must for any football fan.
