List of EFL Championship stadiums

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Since the inception of the EFL Championship, England's current second tier, in 2004, there have been 62 stadiums used in the League. Following the Hillsborough Disaster in 1989, the Taylor Report recommended the abolition of standing terraces by the start of the 1994–95 season, to be replaced by all-seater stadiums.[1] Certain grounds have had terracing in recent years.

Stadiums

Those marked in bold indicate teams playing in the 2024-25 season, while those in italics have been demolished.
