The Hawthorns is the home ground of West Bromwich Albion Football Club, set in West Bromwich in the English Midlands. With a capacity of roughly 26,000, it is a stadium built around the match day itself, where the noise and rhythm of a crowd are the main draw.
What a visit offers
- Live football at a club with a long history in English football
- A ground that has hosted top-flight matches for much of its existence
- A venue also remembered for international fixtures
The stadium opened in 1900, so it carries more than a century of matches, supporters and seasons. Walking around it on a match day gives a clear sense of how English football has been watched and followed over that time.
Planning your trip
Because the stadium is the focus, plan your visit around a fixture if you want to see it at its fullest. West Bromwich sits within the wider Black Country area, so a day here can be combined with other towns and attractions in the region.
