Stadium of Light is Sunderland's home in Sunderland. Here is how to get there, where the away end is, what to expect on parking, and every official ticket and travel link in one place, all checked against the club's own pages. It is an away-day primer, not a substitute for the official site, so confirm the details before you travel.
Getting to Stadium of Light
By train and public transport
The Tyne and Wear Metro's Stadium of Light and St Peter's stations are adjacent to the ground, and Sunderland mainline rail station is a 10-15 minute walk away in the city centre.
Plan the exact door-to-door journey with Nexus (Tyne and Wear Metro).
By car and parking
There is no public matchday parking at the stadium or on surrounding streets, so fans must use the signposted University of Sunderland park-and-walk sites at Chester Road (A183) and St Peter's or public transport.
The away end
Visiting supporters are housed in the North Stand (upper tier), with a typical allocation of around ~3,000 (varies by game). Away tickets usually go on sale to season-ticket holders and members first, so check how your club handles away allocations well before the game.
Tickets, tours and official links
Every link above goes to Sunderland's official site. We never sell or resell tickets. Prices, availability and kick-off times all live on the club's own pages, and televised games can move, so confirm there before booking travel.
Plan your matchday
Give yourself time. The area around Stadium of Light and its nearest stations get busy from roughly an hour before kick-off, and again all at once at full time, so an early arrival and a plan for the way home both pay off.
Check the kick-off before you set off. Televised fixtures move from the standard Saturday 3pm slot, sometimes only a few weeks out, so the date and time on Sunderland's official site is the one to trust. For the live build-up, score and team news on the day, the Sunderland match centre keeps the next game, the table and where to watch in one place.
