Biggest National League Stadiums

Brunton Park, home of Carlisle United, is the largest venue among the National League stadiums in 2026-27, with a certified capacity of 17,949. The ground opened in 1909 and has hosted Football League fixtures for much of its history. Roots Hall, Southend United’s home since 1955, holds 12,392 and hosted Football League matches until the club’s relegation in 2021. Gateshead International Stadium, with a capacity of 11,800, is notable for being an athletics venue rather than a purpose-built football ground.

The Shay in Halifax, capacity 10,400, was home to Halifax Town from 1921 and has hosted their successors, FC Halifax Town, since 2008; it is also used by rugby league. Huish Park, Yeovil Town’s ground since 1990, holds 9,566 and previously hosted EFL football. Together, these five grounds illustrate the variety found across the National League stadiums, from historic EFL venues to multi-purpose facilities.

 

Smallest National League Stadiums

At the other end of the scale, Hornchurch Stadium is the smallest of the National League stadiums, with a capacity of approximately 3,500. Worthing’s Woodside Road holds 4,000, while Wealdstone’s Grosvenor Vale accommodates 4,085 and Boreham Wood’s Meadow Park holds 4,500. National League clubs must hold Grade A status under the FA’s ground grading rules, which includes a minimum capacity of 4,000 with covered and seated accommodation. Woodside Road, Grosvenor Vale and Meadow Park already meet this minimum, while newly promoted Hornchurch are redeveloping their ground to meet the standards by the end of March 2027.

 

New Grounds in the National League This Season

Six clubs are new to the division for 2026-27. AFC Fylde return as National League North champions, playing at Mill Farm Sports Village. Kidderminster Harriers join them after play-off success, playing at Aggborough Stadium. Worthing, the National League South champions, make their fifth-tier debut at Woodside Road, and Hornchurch enter the National League for the first time at Hornchurch Stadium. Barrow and Harrogate Town drop down from League Two after six years in the EFL, bringing Holker Street and Wetherby Road respectively into the division. With four promoted and two relegated clubs, the 2026-27 season brings six new grounds to the list of National League stadiums.
