About Abbey Stadium
Abbey Stadium, officially branded as the Cledara Abbey Stadium for sponsorship, is Cambridge United FC’s home ground since 1932. With a capacity of 8,127 (about 4,376 seated), the stadium features four stands and a mix of seating and terraced areas designed to welcome home supporters, visiting fans, and event crowds. Located on Newmarket Road in Cambridge, the venue is easily reachable by car, rail, and bus, with nearby hotels and dining options to suit varied budgets. Whether you’re catching a league match, a concert, or a special event, we’ve got you covered with practical tips to secure your seats and plan a smooth visit.
Note: The venue has hosted a range of events beyond football, including concerts and university fixtures. The name is sometimes presented as The Abbey Stadium; in 2017 the name was restored for certain events, while redevelopment plans aim to raise capacity toward just under 12,000. Always check the event page for the exact naming and seating details for your visit.
