Brentford home ground
Gtech Community Stadium
Brentford, London
17,250
capacity
Opened 2020
Opened in 2020, the Gtech Community Stadium is one of the newest grounds in the Premier League and sits just yards from Brentford's former home at Griffin Park, which the club vacated after 116 years. The stadium's design emphasises steep stands close to the pitch, creating an intense atmosphere despite its modest capacity of 17,250. Its location beside the M4 motorway and close to Kew Bridge rail station makes it one of the more accessible grounds in west London.
