Barcelona (Camp Nou)
Currently under renovations is the long-time home of FC Barcelona, Camp Nou. The storied club’s home since 1957 will have a capacity of 105,000 attendees when the work is done, cementing it as the largest stadium in Europe and one of the few largest in the world. Matches have finally resumed here, but the work will not be fully complete until 2027.

Liverpool (Anfield Stadium)
The fifth-largest stadium in England is not in London but in Liverpool, where the local mega-popular football club plays its home matches. Though star player Mo Salah is reportedly leaving the club at the end of this season, the squad finds itself near the top of the UEFA standings with a real chance for a title. They’ll face Paris Saint-Germain on April 8 in knockout play.

Tottenham Hotspur (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium)
Only finished in 2019, one of the largest and most state-of-the-art stadiums in all of England is the Tottenham Hotspur home stadium. This 60,000+ event space has a fully retractable grass pitch with a turf surface beneath it, which is often used for NFL games in London. Tottenham was actually eliminated from this year’s competition but we really wanted to show you this cool stadium!
