Upcoming Events at Selhurst Park

Welcome to Selhurst Park, the home ground of Crystal Palace FC. With a current capacity of approximately 25,486 and plans to surpass 34,000 after the Main Stand redevelopment, this storied London stadium combines football tradition with modern improvements. Nicknamed by some fans as Whitehorse Lane, Selhurst Park sits in London with convenient access by rail and bus, and a variety of nearby hotels and dining options to suit matchday needs. Wea0have you covered with seating layouts, parking guidance, transit tips, and trusted hotel/restaurants to help you secure your seats and plan a smooth visit.

Note: The Main Stand is undergoing redevelopment to increase capacity, but the ground remains active for matches and events. Public transport and local streets adjacent to the stadium are designed to handle matchday crowds, with disabled bays available in nearby car parks for those who need them.

Selhurst Park hosts notable football history, including matches from the 1948 Summer Olympics and connections to clubs such as Wimbledon FC and Charlton Athletic. It has also featured in popular culture, famously referenced in Ted Lasso. When you choose to attend a match here, you can rely on straightforward ticketing, clear transit options, and practical nearby dining and lodging recommendations to make your visit easy and enjoyable.

Seating and Viewing

The stadium comprises three main stands: Holmesdale Road Stand (~8,329 seats), Arthur Wait Stand (~9,574 seats), and Main Stand (~5,460 seats, plus press seats bringing the total to about 63 in the area). As the Main Stand redevelopment progresses, expect capacity improvements and updated facilities, while still prioritizing clear sightlines and a spirited matchday atmosphere.

Parking

Selhurst Park does not offer on-site matchday parking. Local streets operate under time and permit restrictions, so planning ahead is essential. Disabled bays are available in nearby car parks.
