How the warm-ups are going

The friendly results so far, before the league gets going. It steps aside once the real games begin on 21 August.

The season ahead · 2026/27

A second full season for Keith Andrews starts at home to Spurs.

Brentford go into 2026/27 as a settled Premier League side under head coach Keith Andrews, who took over from Thomas Frank last summer and guided them to ninth in his first full campaign. The squad has been reshaped again this summer, headlined by a reported club-record fee for the midfielder Mamadou Sangaré, with Callum Wilson and Jaidon Anthony freshening the forward line after Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa moved on. Nathan Collins keeps the captaincy, and the season opens at the Gtech against Tottenham.

How the last campaign finished

These figures are from the 2025/26 Premier League season that has already finished, not the one about to begin. Brentford came ninth in Keith Andrews' first full season in charge, and their points total held up steadily across the 38 games.

Brentford have stayed in the top flight every year since winning the Championship play-off final in 2021, and 2026/27 will be their sixth season in a row in the Premier League.

STATS / RECENT SEASONS

Recent seasons

Where the club has finished across its last six completed league campaigns. Brentford earned promotion to the Premier League through the 2021 play-offs and have stayed up ever since, so the top five rows are top-flight seasons and the oldest is the second-tier Championship year that took them up.

Season Division Final position Points
2025/26 Premier League 9th 53
2024/25 Premier League 10th 56
2023/24 Premier League 16th 39
2022/23 Premier League 9th 59
2021/22 Premier League 13th 46
2020/21 Championship 2nd tier 3rd 87

The 2020/21 third-place finish came with promotion through the play-offs, beating Swansea City 2-0 in the final and taking Brentford back to the top flight for the first time in 74 years.

Honours

The trophy cabinet

The honours below are the club's confirmed major titles. Brentford has not won the top-flight championship, the FA Cup or the League Cup, and holds no European trophy, so the cabinet is honest about what it holds.

1 Second Division title Won in 1934/35, the season that took the club into the top flight
2 Third-tier titles Third Division (South) in 1932/33 and the Third Division in 1991/92
1 Fourth Division title Won in 1962/63, rebuilding from the bottom tier of the Football League
1 Championship play-off Winners at Wembley in 2021, promoted to the Premier League
An honest note. Brentford has never won the top-flight league title, the FA Cup or the League Cup, and it holds no European silverware. The club's major honours are the divisional titles and the 2021 play-off win shown above. Its proudest modern achievement is reaching the Premier League and staying there.
Fan channels

Fan channels and watchalongs

Brentford does not have a huge stack of fan YouTube channels in the way some of the bigger clubs do, but it does have one genuinely well-established independent outlet alongside the club's own channel. These are run by supporters, so the opinions are their own, and every card links straight out to the real page. If you are looking for more watchalongs, a quick search will turn up smaller creators too.

Home games

Matchday at Inside the Gtech Community Stadium

Everything for a home game: getting a ticket, the ground itself, getting there and parking, and where to eat and drink around it. For away days, the travel planner is further down.

Tickets

Getting a ticket for the Gtech

The Gtech Community Stadium is one of the smaller grounds in the Premier League, so home tickets are in real demand and most seats go to season ticket holders and members before any wider sale. We do not sell tickets and we do not list prices, because availability and prices change through the season. Always buy through the club or an official channel, and start at the official ticketing page below.

General sale

Match tickets

The official tickets page is where any general sale, on-sale dates and the current ticketing terms are published. For popular fixtures, seats can sell out before reaching general release, so it is worth checking early.

Official tickets page
Membership

Membership and priority

A club membership is the usual route in for supporters without a season ticket, giving earlier access to sales and priority in the queue ahead of any general release. The membership page sets out what each option includes.

Membership options
Hospitality

Hospitality and premium

The club also sells matchday hospitality packages at the Gtech, which tend to have availability when general tickets do not. Packages, what they include and pricing are detailed and booked through the official ticketing area.

Hospitality on the ticketing page
Resale

Official Ticket Exchange

When a game is sold out, the club runs an official Ticket Exchange that lets season ticket holders list seats they cannot use so other supporters can buy them safely. It is the only resale route we would point you to, and it opens through the official tickets page.

Getting there

Travel and parking on a matchday

The Gtech sits on Lionel Road South, right by Kew Bridge, and it is built for people arriving on foot and by train rather than by car. The club asks supporters to travel by public transport and to allow extra time, because the roads and streets around the ground are busy and tightly controlled on a matchday.

By rail

Kew Bridge station

Kew Bridge is the nearest station, within a couple of minutes' walk of the stadium, on South Western Railway with services from London Waterloo. It is the simplest way in and out for most supporters.

By tube

Gunnersbury and nearby

The nearest Underground station is Gunnersbury on the District line, which also has London Overground services, a short walk from the ground. Brentford and South Ealing stations are among the other options a little further out.

Parking

Driving and parking

Matchday parking around the Gtech is very limited, and the surrounding residential streets fall under a controlled parking zone on matchdays, so casual parking is not realistic. If you have to drive, pre-booked parking through an official provider is the sensible option, but public transport is strongly encouraged.
