Birmingham City Football Club has unveiled a new stadium design. The 62,000-capacity stadium features 12 towering chimney-like structures inspired by the city's industrial roots.

What's in the design?

The design from Heatherwick Studio and Manica Architecture includes a retractable roof and a moveable pitch. The chimneys will support the roof and include elevators and staircases.

Why it matters for Birmingham City

The stadium's design is a statement of intent for the club, reflecting its ambition to compete at the highest level. As of June 25, 2026, Birmingham City stands 10th in the Championship, with 64 points from 46 games, and a recent form of DWWDW.

What comes next?

The new venue will anchor the Birmingham Sports Quarter in East Birmingham, with a training center and mixed-use developments. The team aims to have the new stadium ready for the start of the 2030/2031 soccer season.
