Fratton Park is a football stadium in the Fratton area of Portsmouth, England, and the long-standing home ground of Portsmouth Football Club. It is one of the older professional football stadiums in the English league system.

A compact traditional football ground with four main stands, matchday facilities, and club hospitality areas; match atmospheres are closely concentrated around the pitch. Supporters attend League and domestic-cup fixtures and local club events throughout the season.

Opened at the end of the 19th century, Fratton Park has served as Portsmouth FC’s primary stadium for well over a century and has been modified and modernised incrementally. The ground retains older stands alongside later upgrades to seating and amenities.

Situated in the Fratton district of Portsmouth, the stadium is a short walk from Fratton railway station and lies within the city’s urban residential area north of the city centre.

• Capacity and use: Home ground of Portsmouth Football Club with a current seating capacity of about 20,000, making it one of the older continuously used Football League stadia.

Fratton Park is a short walk from Fratton railway station (about 5-10 minutes). Portsmouth and Southsea station is also walkable (20-30 minutes). Local buses serve the area; on match days follow signage and stewards to official entry gates.

• For the truest Fratton Park experience sit in the Fratton End or South Stand where local supporters concentrate.
• Note the stadium's low, crenellated terraces - they are among the oldest in the Football League and give the ground a terraced, authentic feel.
• If possible, book a stadium tour to learn about the ground's pre-war origins and its quirky spatial constraints.
