About Bloomfield Road

Bloomfield Road

If you're planning a football trip to England's iconic northwest coast, Bloomfield Road offers something truly special—a genuine seaside football experience that's been welcoming fans for well over a century. Nestled in the heart of Blackpool, this atmospheric ground has served as the Tangerines' fortress since 1901, making it one of the country's most enduring football venues. The stadium sits just a stone's throw from the famous Golden Mile and Blackpool Tower, meaning you can combine your match day with classic British seaside attractions.

What makes visiting Bloomfield Road particularly rewarding is its authentic character. This is Blackpool FC's third home after outgrowing Raikes Hall Gardens and the Athletic Grounds in their early years, and the club has put down deep roots here over more than 120 years. Whether you're catching a League One clash or simply touring the ground, you'll feel the weight of history mixed with the bracing Irish Sea air. The surrounding area pulses with pre-match energy on game days, with local pubs and chippies providing the perfect warm-up before you take your seat among the passionate Seasiders faithful.
