List of European stadiums by capacity


This is a list of the largest European stadiums. Stadiums with a capacity of 25,000 or more are included. The list includes stadiums in European countries.
They are ordered by their audience capacity. The capacity figures are for each stadium's permanent total capacity, including seating and any official standing areas. The capacity does include movable seating - used by multi-purpose stadiums to regularly convert the stadium for different sports, and retractable seating for safe standing, but excludes any temporary seating or standing, such as for concerts. Stadiums are sorted in the list based on the largest of these capacities.
