List of Premier League stadiums facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

The Premier League is England's top football league, where teams play each other every year. Since it started on August 15, 1992, over 60 different football stadiums have been used to host matches!

Back in 1989, after a sad event called the Hillsborough disaster, a report suggested that all stadiums should have seats for everyone, instead of standing areas. This rule was supposed to start by the 1994–95 season. However, when Fulham joined the Premier League in 2001, they were given extra time to change their stadium, Craven Cottage, to all-seater. They had to play at Loftus Road for a while because their home ground wasn't ready. But they returned to Craven Cottage for the 2004–05 season once the work was done.

Burnley's Turf Moor stadium became the 50th Premier League stadium when it hosted its first match on August 19, 2009, against Manchester United. The newest stadium to join the list is Kenilworth Road, which hosted its first Premier League game on September 1, 2023. Did you know that Liverpool holds the record for winning at the most different Premier League stadiums? They've won at 59 out of the 61 grounds they've played at!
