Murrayfield Stadium

Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium is the iconic home of Scottish Rugby and one of Scotland’s premier sporting venues.

Opened on 21st March 1925, it has hosted countless international rugby matches, including Scotland’s historic first Grand Slam on its debut, and remains the largest stadium in the country.

With a seating capacity of 67,144, it’s the go-to spot for Guinness Six Nations fixtures, Edinburgh Rugby games, major concerts, and events.

The stadium offers excellent facilities, including diverse food and drink options (from classic pies and burgers to vegan and street food stalls), bars serving Guinness and more, and a cashless environment for smooth match days.

It’s easily accessible via public transport, with a dedicated Edinburgh Trams stop right outside (Murrayfield Stadium tram stop), Haymarket train station just a 10-minute walk away, and good bus links from the city centre.

Parking is limited on event days (often none for major matches—use Park & Ride or public transport), but accessible/Blue Badge parking can be arranged in advance for eligible visitors.

Murrayfield is family-friendly, with concessions available for many events, plus accessibility features such as wheelchair spaces, hearing loops, wheelchair storage, and prior-arranged support.
