UEFA has confirmed the nine stadiums that will host the 2028 European Championship, bringing the tournament to the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.The 51-fixture tournament will take place across four host nationsโEngland, Scotland, Wales, and the Republic of Ireland. The tournament opener is set to take place at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, with the semi-finals and final to be held at London’s Wembley Stadium.Northern Ireland, originally part of the joint bid, will not host any matches after Belfast’s Casement Park was formally removed from the confirmed venue list due to delays and rising costs associated with its redevelopment.While the host nations are provided with guaranteed home-based group games should they qualify, they must all successfully navigate the qualification process to participate in the tournament.Here is a detailed guide to the nine stadiums that will host the Euro 2028 tournament. pic.twitter.com/GbjgCp4vdHโ UEFA EURO (@UEFAEURO) November 12, 2025Which Stadiums Are Hosting Euro 2028?Wembley StadiumLocation: London, EnglandCapacity: 86,000Fixtures: Group Stage, Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals, FinalWembley is the UK’s largest stadium and the undisputed home of English football.

Although builders originally constructed it for the 1999 Rugby World Cup, the stadium has a strong football heritage. For instance, it hosted the FA Cup finals from 2001 to 2006. It also hosted the 2017 Champions League final.A key feature is its fully retractable roof. At the time of its construction, it was only the second stadium in Europe to have one. Furthermore, if Wales qualify for the tournament, they will play all three of their group matches here in Cardiff.Tottenham Hotspur StadiumLocation: London, EnglandCapacity: 60,000Fixtures: Group Stage, Round of 16Opened in 2019, the state-of-the-art home of Tottenham Hotspur will be one of two London venues for the tournament. The stadium is famed for its 17,500-capacity single-tier South Stand.However, its most famous innovation is the world-first dividing retractable pitch. For NFL games, the grass surface splits into three sections. It then slides away under the stand to reveal a synthetic pitch beneath.Etihad StadiumLocation: Manchester, EnglandCapacity: 58,000Fixtures: Group Stage, Round of 16The home of Manchester City, originally constructed for the 2002 Commonwealth Games, is provisionally slated to host England’s opening group game, should the Three Lions qualify.Furthermore, the stadium is currently undergoing an expansion of its North Stand.

For instance, it was a host venue during Euro 1996. It also staged football fixtures during the 2012 Olympics.Villa ParkLocation: Birmingham, EnglandCapacity: 48,000Fixtures: Group Stage, Round of 16Villa Park is one of English football’s most traditional grounds.
