Ranking the 10 biggest stadiums in League Two for the 2026/27 campaign
The League Two season got underway this month in what is set to be a fiercely competitive year ahead.
The fourth division has seen York City and Rochdale earn promotion from the National League to make their returns to this level.
Meanwhile, Exeter City, Rotherham United, Port Vale and Northampton Town have all dropped down from League One.
And the likes of Salford City, Chesterfield and Grimsby Town will all be among them trying to earn promotion after missing out through the play-offs last season.
Fans up and down the country will be attending games across the division this year hoping their team can enjoy a strong campaign.
Here we use figures from Transfermarkt to rank the teams’ stadiums to see which 10 have the biggest in League Two in 2026/27.

Rochdale are back in League Two after earning promotion from the National League last season in a dramatic campaign.
The club finished second in the table, but advanced to the fourth tier after securing play-off success, making their return to the EFL for the first time since 2023.
The Crown Oil Arena is now the 10th biggest ground in the fourth division, with a capacity of 10,249.
Rochdale will be aiming to survive in the league long-term, and re-establish themselves as a member of the Football League.

Chesterfield returned to League Two in 2024 after winning the National League title, and have cemented themselves in the division.
The club immediately earned a place in the play-offs in their first year back, and again in 2025/26, but have failed in their attempts to earn promotion to League One.
Defeat to Notts County in the semi-finals last season ended their hopes of a place in the third tier, but they will be keen to go again in 2026/27, with their sights set on another promotion battle.
And the SMH Group Stadium will be an asset in their fight to get back to the top end of the League Two table, with the ground capable of hosting 10,504 supporters.

Walsall have been competing in League Two since their relegation from the third division in 2019.
The club initially struggled in the fourth tier, finishing 19th, 16th and 16th before coming 11th in 2024.
But the Saddlers earned a place in the play-offs with a fourth place finish in 2024/25, albeit the team fell to 13th in the subsequent campaign after their failure to gain promotion.
Walsall will be keen to get back into promotion contention in 2026/27, and they will be hoping to receive the full backing of the Pallet-Track Bescot Stadium, which has a capacity of 11,300.

Gillingham are in their fifth season back in League Two after suffering relegation from League One in 2022.
The Gills finished 17th in the table in 2025/26, so will be keen to compete at a higher level over the next 12 months.
Their best result since returning to this level was their 12th place finish in 2023/24, as they have come 17th on each other occasion.
Priestfield Stadium is the seventh biggest stadium in the fourth tier this season, with the ground capable of hosting up to 11,582 supporters.

Bristol Rovers have been overshadowed by their local rivals Bristol City for quite some time, and their relegation to League Two in 2025 only made matters worse.
The Gas are in their second season at this level, and they finished a lowly 14th in 2025/26, so will be keen to return to a more competitive level over the following campaign.
The Memorial Stadium is capable of hosting up to 12,000 fans, making it the sixth biggest ground in the division.
But it pales in comparison to the capacity of Ashton Gate, which can hold 27,000 Bristol City fans, with the Robins competing in the Championship.

Rotherham United are competing in League Two for the first time since 2013 after suffering relegation from League One in the previous campaign.
The Millers have been relegated in five of the last 10 seasons, and have been promoted on three occasions in that timeframe as well.
The Yorkshire outfit will be hoping to make it four from 11 in 2026/27, as they seek an immediate return to the third tier.
The New York Stadium will be a big asset for the team in their promotion bid, as its capacity of 12,000 makes it the fifth biggest venue in the league.

Oldham Athletic made their return to League Two in 2025/26 after earning promotion from the National League.
The Latics finished 10th in the table, and will now be aiming to improve on that position and potentially even fight for promotion to the third tier in 2027.
The club haven’t competed in League One since 2018, but a promising first year back in the EFL will have given fans plenty of reason to be optimistic about the future.
And Boundary Park will also be an asset for the team going forward, with the ground holding a capacity of 13,513.

Swindon Town are in their sixth season back in League Two after suffering relegation to the division in 2021.
The Robins narrowly missed out on a play-off place in 2025/26, which was the closest they came to fighting for promotion since 2022 when they reached the play-offs.
The club will be aiming to bridge the gap to the top teams in 2026/27 after missing out on the top seven by just three points.
Swindon will be targeting a promotion push while having the third biggest ground in the division, with the County Ground capable of hosting up to 15,728 fans.

Tranmere Rovers have been in League Two since they were relegated from League One as a consequence of the pandemic, which saw them finish 21st in the table.
And the club almost fell out of the EFL entirely in the previous campaign, coming 21st in the table, just two points clear of Harrogate Town in the relegation zone.
Rovers will be hoping to turn things around over the next 12 months, as they look to get back to a stronger competitive position, having finished as high as 12th as recently as 2023.
Tranmere could be able to leverage Prenton Park as a potential advantage in this campaign, as its capacity of 16,789 makes it the second biggest ground in the division.

Port Vale suffered relegation to League Two last season, coming 22nd in the third tier table with 42 points.
Their sights will be set on returning to League One as quickly as possible, as they have become a yo-yo club in recent years and they will want to avoid getting stuck in the fourth division.
Port Vale were relegated in 2024 and promoted in 2025, as well as 2022, and it has left them with Vale Park as now being the biggest stadium in League Two.
The ground has a capacity of 18,947, and the Valiants will be hoping that it can help them in their bid to finish inside the top three in 2026/27.
