Biggest Premier League stadiums ranked by capacity 2021/22
Premier League stadiums will welcome back fans this season after a year with very few supporters coming through the turnstiles – we’ve rounded up everything you need to know about the EPL grounds in 2021/22.
Premier League stadiums are things of great beauty. They come in all shapes and sizes, crafted in all manner of time periods with constant upgrades and modernisations.
There are, of course, 20 grounds across the country that are continually lit up by the best players in the Premier League on a regular basis with thousands of fans across the land piling into these steel behemoths.
The sheer variety and range of stadium types, and the lack of an objective 'best stadium' criteria, adds plenty of fuel to debates around the finest in the league, but we can rank the biggest.
RadioTimes.com has rounded up the complete list of Premier League stadiums to be used in 2021/22 including those of teams promoted from the second tier. Plus check out the full Premier League TV schedule.
