Biggest football stadiums in England: Where Leeds United's Elland Road sits in top 20

England's biggest football stadiums list includes some of the finest that Yorkshire has to offer

England has some of the best football stadiums in the world, both new and old, and Yorkshire is proud to boast a few of the country's top 20 stadiums by capacity.

The North West, North East, and London dominate the top 20, accounting for 12 of the 20 stadiums, but Yorkshire still holds some key spots on the list.

29 football stadiums in England hold capacities of over 30,000 people, with the likes of Yorkshire sides Leeds United, Sheffield Wednesday, and Sheffield United all taking their rightful place in this top 20 below. Depending on who you speak to, Middlesbrough is also in Yorkshire and is on this list.

Let's take a look at the top 20 English football stadiums list courtesy of Betsson, the home of betting. It’s worth noting we’re including only stadiums where either men’s or women’s football clubs reside, therefore ruling out Wembley.
