The stadiums set to host Euro 2028

The 2026 World Cup is in full flow across the United States, Canada and Mexico, but the next major international tournament will be far closer to home. Euro 2028 is two years away, and it will be staged across the UK and the Republic of Ireland.

The venues are already confirmed, with nine stadiums in eight cities sharing 51 fixtures. That early certainty means a betting exchange like BETDAQ and the wider football media have plenty to assess in advance, with the four host nations the natural starting point.

In this article, we run through the grounds set to stage Euro 2028, from the showpiece in London to the opening night in Cardiff.

Wembley Stadium, London

Wembley is the centrepiece of the tournament. The 90,000-seat ground will host both semi-finals on 4 and 5 July, followed by the final on Sunday 9 July 2028. England will play group games here, as they did when Wembley staged the Euro 2020 final.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, London

The capital’s second venue opened in 2019 and holds around 62,000. Having two grounds in London gives the group stage extra capacity, and the Tottenham ground will also stage a round of 16 tie. Of the nine hosts, only Wembley misses out on a last-16 fixture. Should Northern Ireland qualify, UEFA have earmarked this stadium as one of their possible group-stage bases, even though Belfast itself is not staging matches.

National Stadium of Wales, Cardiff

Better known as the Principality Stadium, the Cardiff venue gets the tournament under way. The opening Group A match takes place on Friday 9 June 2028, and the retractable roof and 74,000 capacity make it one of the larger hosts. It is also down for one of the four quarter-finals.

Hampden Park, Glasgow

Scotland’s national stadium has hosted football for well over a century and seats roughly 52,000. Hampden staged matches at Euro 2020 and returns as a quarter-final venue, alongside Cardiff, Dublin and Wembley.

Dublin Arena, Dublin

The Aviva Stadium, as it is widely known, is the only host outside Great Britain. The 51,000-capacity ground will serve as the Republic of Ireland’s base and completes the list of four quarter-final venues.

The English regional grounds

Four more English stadiums round things off. St James’ Park in Newcastle and Villa Park in Birmingham bring two of the country’s older grounds into the mix, both with capacities in the region of 40,000 to 50,000.

Manchester is represented by the Etihad Stadium, while Liverpool’s host is Everton’s new home at Bramley-Moore Dock, the Hill Dickinson Stadium, which opened in 2025 and seats just under 53,000. Each of the four stages group matches and a round of 16 tie, giving fans in the north and Midlands a route to watch knockout football without travelling to London.

It is worth noting that UEFA lists several grounds by sponsor-free names, so the Etihad appears as the Manchester City Stadium and the Aviva as the Dublin Arena in official material.

With the hosts guaranteed their place in the draw, Euro 2028 already has a clear shape two years out. The football will not begin until that Friday night in Cardiff, but the map of where it is going to be decided is already set.
