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.
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. As of June 25, 2026, Birmingham City stands 10th in the Championship, with 64 points from 46 games, and a recent form of DWWDW.
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.
