How to Get to Bet365 Stadium #

The Bet365 Stadium is in Stoke‑on‑Trent, Staffordshire, adjacent to the A500 road and a short distance north of Stoke city centre. From Stoke‑on‑Trent railway station the stadium is roughly 1.5-2 km away (around a 20-30 minute walk) or a short taxi/bus ride; on matchdays local bus services and special shuttle arrangements often operate to serve the ground.

By car the stadium is well connected via the A500/A50 road network to the M6 motorway; expect a short drive of under 10 minutes from central Stoke depending on local traffic.

Tips for Visiting Bet365 Stadium #

  • On match days allow plenty of time for arrival and departure-local roads get congested, so travelling by train to Stoke-on-Trent station and then taking local buses or taxis to the ground usually avoids parking delays.
  • Check the club's official match-day travel and gate information before you go so you know which turnstiles and entrances to use; arriving an hour before kickoff gives time to pass security and soak up the pre-match atmosphere.
