EURO 2028 stadiums

From the opening match in Cardiff to the final at Wembley, each ground has a different part to play.

Choose a venue by its role

Wembley hosts the final week and a quarter-final, but no round-of-16 match. The other eight stadiums each have a last-16 tie. Cardiff, Dublin, Glasgow and Wembley then share the four quarter-finals. If you want to watch a particular stage, that distinction matters more than a stadium’s club reputation.

Tournament names and familiar names

UEFA’s competition calendar may use a venue name different from the name on a sponsor’s sign or a transport guide. The page heading follows the tournament name. Verified everyday names belong beside it as aliases, so you can recognise the ground without splitting its fixtures across two pages.

What to check before visiting

Start with the match date and published time, then use the stadium’s official travel guidance. Club-match entrances, supporter allocations and bag policies should not be assumed to apply unchanged at EURO 2028. Tournament arrangements will be added when they are announced.

Compare programmes rather than names alone

The venue cards show the number of fixtures, stages and the first and last scheduled dates. Together they explain whether a ground suits one matchday, a sequence of group games or a visit that continues into the knockouts. The fixture list on each stadium page then identifies the individual games.

A familiar club ground can have a tournament programme involving several different groups. That variety is useful to a local visitor, but a supporter following one country should read its draw position and bracket route as well as the venue name.

A guide to the ground and its surroundings

Each venue page brings its tournament programme together with a short stadium history, familiar alternative names, a photograph and official transport links. The name used on a ticket or journey planner can differ from the competition name, so the aliases belong beside the same venue entry.

The city page provides a wider view: all local fixtures, the stadium journey and places to spend a gap between matchdays. For London, it also keeps Wembley and Tottenham’s schedules together while preserving the separate grounds.
