Seating
Where to sit at Stadium of Light
Roker End
The south home end, named after Sunderland's former ground, and the natural pick for atmosphere. Corners beside it can be among the better-value home seats.
West Stand
The largest side, with the tunnel, dugouts and premium halfway-line seating. Central lower blocks give the cleanest tactical view and cost more than the ends.
East Stand
A broad touchline stand facing the dugouts. Upper blocks are generally more affordable while still giving an unobstructed view across the continuous bowl.
North Stand Upper
The 2026/27 away section, approved by the Premier League for one more season. It is high behind the north goal and separate from the home support below.

Background
Sunderland club history
Sunderland are the Black Cats, a six-time champion with one of England's largest and most loyal matchday followings. The Stadium of Light channels Wearside's industrial history and the memory of Roker Park.

Stadium of Light capacity
Schoolmaster James Allan founded Sunderland in 1879. The 'Team of All Talents' became England's first great league dynasty, winning three championships in four seasons from 1891/92; three more arrived before the Second World War, followed by the club's first FA Cup in 1937.
Sunderland's most famous day came in 1973. As a Second Division side, Bob Stokoe's team beat holders Leeds 1-0 at Wembley through Ian Porterfield's goal and Jimmy Montgomery's double save, producing one of the FA Cup's defining upsets.
The club left Roker Park for the Stadium of Light in 1997 and soon posted consecutive seventh-place Premier League finishes. Relegation to League One in 2018 was captured in a global documentary; promotion in 2022 and a 2025 play-off win completed the climb back to the top flight.
Honours. 6 league titles · 2 FA Cups (1937, 1973) · FA Charity Shield (1936) · second-tier champions five times · EFL Trophy (2021).
The ground. The Stadium of Light opened in 1997 on the site of Wearmouth Colliery, four years after the mine closed. Its continuous 48,095-seat bowl is one of England's largest club grounds; the Roker End carries the old home's name and away support remains in the North Stand Upper for 2026/27.
Biggest rivalries
- Newcastle United. The Tyne–Wear derby is Sunderland's defining fixture, a north-east divide with roots far beyond football. Newcastle United vs Sunderland tickets →
- Middlesbrough. The Wear–Tees meeting is the next major regional contest, particularly fierce during shared EFL seasons.
- Coventry City. An unusual rivalry that dates to the delayed finish of the 1976/77 relegation battle and has resurfaced in modern promotion races. Coventry City vs Sunderland tickets →
Getting to Stadium of Light
Sunderland · 48,095 capacity · Opened 1997
The Stadium of Light has been Sunderland's home since July 1997, when the club left Roker Park after 99 years. It holds 48,095, the figure in the 2026/27 Premier League Handbook, and is one of the largest club grounds in England. The record football attendance is 48,335, against Liverpool in April 2002.
Public transport: Stadium of Light Metro station sits beside the ground on the Tyne and Wear Metro. St Peter's, one stop away, is the usual alternative when the queues build after full time.
Away fans: Away supporters sit in the upper tier of the North Stand, an allocation of around 3,000. The Premier League approved the club's request to keep them there for 2026/27.

Full Stadium of Light guide — seating plan, getting there, and every fixture at the ground.
Seating at Stadium of Light
The Stadium of Light is a continuous bowl, so sightlines are good almost everywhere and price tracks height and centrality more than which stand you choose. The West Stand — named after Jimmy Montgomery — is the largest side at roughly 17,000, carries the halfway line and the TV gantry, and its central lower blocks are the dearest seats in the ground.
The East Stand, about 11,000, faces it and usually costs less for a comparable view. Behind the goals, the Roker End to the south holds around 8,000 and takes its name from the club's old ground, while the North Stand, about 13,000, is the taller end and houses the away allocation in its upper tier. The upper rows of the East Stand and the corners either side of the Roker End are typically the cheapest way in.
