As Coventry’s Coventry Building Society Arena becomes the latest stadium to stage a Premier League match this weekend, we take a look at every ground used in the competition’s 33-year history to date.
Every stadium to host Premier League football
The CBS Arena, where Coventry moved four years after relegation from the top flight in 2001, will be the 62nd stadium to host Premier League football when the Sky Blues entertain fellow newly promoted side Hull on Saturday.
Before the CBS Arena, Everton’s Hill Dickinson Stadium was the most recent ground to join the list when the Toffees moved there from Goodison Park last season.
Including Coventry, thirteen Premier League clubs have had two (either permanent or temporary) home stadiums – while Tottenham technically hold the distinction of having had three, temporarily playing at Wembley while their current Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was being constructed on the site of former home White Hart Lane.
Two grounds have been home to two Premier League clubs: Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park and QPR’s Loftus Road, with Wimbledon and Fulham respectively ground-sharing.
Here is the full list of every stadium to host Premier League football, with the grounds’ current names given and a club’s first ground listed first in the event they’ve played at more than one permanent home.

What was the first stadium to host Premier League football?
Nine stadiums can jointly claim the honour of being the first venue for Premier League football, with the competition’s first nine games kicking off simultaneously on 15th August 1992.
Those grounds were: Highbury (Arsenal), Stamford Bridge (Chelsea), Highfield Road (Coventry), Selhurst Park (Crystal Palace), Goodison Park (Everton), Portman Road (Ipswich), Elland Road (Leeds), Bramall Lane (Sheffield United) and The Dell (Southampton).
Two other stadiums played host to Premier League action on its inaugural weekend: the City Ground (Nottingham Forest) and Maine Road (Manchester City).
Which stadiums have hosted matches in every Premier League season?
Only three stadiums have been ever-present in the Premier League: Anfield, Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge.
What could be the next Premier League stadium?
Five current Championship clubs have either not played top-flight football in the Premier League era or at any point.
If any of Bristol City, Lincoln, Millwall, Preston or Wrexham are promoted this season, they will join the list.
Manchester United have a new 100,000-capacity stadium in the pipeline to replace Old Trafford, though construction has yet to begin and it’s not expected to be completed until at least 2035.
