EURO 2028 host cities and stadiums: Venue guide

The United Kingdom and Ireland are getting ready to host UEFA EURO 2028, with the tournament running from 9 June to 9 July 2028.

Games will take place across nine venues in eight different cities: Wembley Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, National Stadium of Wales in Cardiff, Manchester City Stadium in Manchester, Everton Stadium in Liverpool, St James' Park in Newcastle, Villa Park in Birmingham, Hampden Park in Glasgow and Dublin Arena in Dublin.

Most teams will play their three group stage games in three different stadiums. However, each of the six groups will also have a 'group head', who will play its three group matches at one or several pre-selected venues.

In five groups, the group heads position is reserved for one of the four hosts and Northern Ireland, if they are qualified at the time of the final draw. In the sixth group, and any others if the four hosts and/or Northern Ireland have not qualified, the group heads position(s) will be allocated by draw to a Pot 1 team or teams.

UEFA.com takes an in-depth look at the cities and stadiums set to welcome fans and players alike from around the continent.
