Falkirk Stadium: Matchday Guide, Transport and What to Know Before You Go

Falkirk Stadium is the home ground of Falkirk Football Club, located at Westfield in Falkirk, Stirlingshire. It is a modern all-seater stadium that also operates as a conference and events venue on non-matchdays. The most important practical detail for visitors is that matchday parking is now permit-only for home supporters, with no pay-on-the-day spaces available, and ongoing roadworks around the stadium are causing delays . This guide covers how to get there, the parking rules, the matchday experience, and the venue’s other uses.

Where Is Falkirk Stadium and How to Get There

Matchday Parking: The Permit-Only Rule

This is the detail that catches most visiting supporters out. Since the 2026/27 season, all stadium parking is allocated to home supporters by permit only. There are no pay-on-the-day spaces available. Only away coaches and away disabled supporters with permits are allowed to park at the stadium .

The club introduced this policy to improve access for home fans and reduce congestion. If you are a home supporter without a permit, overflow parking is available at Forth Valley College, which is nearby .

Disabled parking remains unchanged. Blue Badge holders with accessible parking permits should display them to the stewarding team on arrival, who will direct them to the correct area .
