Riverside Stadium is a football stadium in Middlesbrough, England, and is the home ground of Middlesbrough Football Club. The venue opened in the mid-1990s to replace the club’s former ground, providing modern spectator facilities.

The stadium accommodates roughly 34,742 spectators and is used primarily for league and cup football matches, plus occasional concerts and community events. Seating surrounds the pitch on all sides and the stadium includes hospitality and conference spaces.

It was constructed to provide improved matchday facilities and sightlines compared with the previous ground and has since been the club’s permanent home. The stadium is a focal point for local supporters on matchdays.

The Riverside sits on the south bank of the River Tees within the town of Middlesbrough and is accessible from local transport links into the town.

• Home club and capacity: Home stadium of Middlesbrough Football Club with a seating capacity of about 34,742.

What to See#

• Hospitality areas: Hospitality suites and function rooms used for corporate events and away-match facilities, located within the stadium’s main stands.

Riverside Stadium is in Middlesbrough on the east side of the town. From Middlesbrough railway station it’s a short taxi ride (about 10-15 minutes) or a local bus service from the town bus station that stops near the stadium; the drive from the town centre is roughly 2-3 km. By car use the local roads off Middlesbrough town centre - expect short matchday walking from the nearest bus stops or stadium parking areas.

• Public transport is usually the easiest match‑day option-Middlesbrough train station is a walk of around 15-20 minutes from the stadium, and town buses serve the area; roads and car parks become congested immediately after the final whistle.
• Buy tickets in advance and have e‑tickets or printouts ready to speed entry through turnstiles; arrive 45-60 minutes before kick‑off to avoid the busiest entry surge.
• If you're staying after the match, plan onward travel in advance-local trains and buses fill quickly, so either stay in town or check timetables for late departures to avoid long waits.
