Madejski Stadium is a football stadium in Reading, England, that serves as the home ground for Reading Football Club. The arena opened in the late 1990s and replaced the club’s former stadium as its main venue.

It is used primarily for professional football matches and has also hosted other sporting events and occasional concerts. The stadium includes spectator stands, hospitality suites and training facilities for the club.

The stadium was developed to provide a modern venue for the club and local events and has been Reading FC’s principal home since it opened. It sits within the borough of Reading and is used year‑round for club activities and matchdays.

Located to the west of central Reading, the stadium is accessible by local roads and public transport serving the town and surrounding Berkshire area.

• Capacity and tenant: holds approximately 24,000 spectators and is the home stadium of Reading Football Club.
• Name origin: named after local businessman John Madejski, who was closely involved in the club at the time the stadium was built.

Madejski Stadium is on the western edge of Reading, Berkshire, adjacent to the A33 and close to junction 11 of the M4 motorway. Reading railway station is the nearest major rail hub; the stadium is a short drive or taxi ride from the station (a couple of miles), and local bus services link the town centre and station with the stadium on matchdays. Driving from central Reading typically takes only a few minutes via the A33.

• On matchdays the easiest way to get to Madejski Stadium is to use Reading town centre park-and-ride or public transport rather than trying to find on-site parking-check Reading Borough Council and club matchday travel pages for the current shuttle/park-and-ride options.
• Your ticket will indicate which turnstile/stand to use; arrive at least 45-60 minutes before kick-off to clear queues and security checks rather than trying to arrive at the last minute.
• Outside matchdays the stadium's public access is limited, so if you want a tour or to attend another event check the club's website for tour availability or scheduled events rather than assuming free access.
