Premier League stadiums vary enormously, from Bournemouth’s compact Vitality Stadium to Old Trafford and the league’s modern 60,000-seat arenas. However, the difference between the playing surfaces is much smaller than the contrast between their capacities.
Fourteen of the 20 clubs have registered pitches measuring 105 metres long and 68 metres wide for 2026/27. That produces a playing area of 7,140 square metres and matches the dimensions commonly used in UEFA competitions.
The six exceptions are Fulham, Liverpool, Crystal Palace, Chelsea, Ipswich Town and Hull City.

Fulham have the smallest pitch
Craven Cottage has the smallest Premier League playing surface in 2026/27.
Its pitch measures 100 by 65 metres, creating an area of 6,500 square metres. That makes it 640 square metres smaller than the standard surface used by most clubs.
The difference is equivalent to removing almost two full penalty areas from a standard Premier League pitch.
Fulham’s surface is five metres shorter and three metres narrower. A narrower pitch reduces the distance a defensive block must cover from one touchline to the other, making it easier to remain compact.
