Wembley Parking for England Internationals: 2026 Guide
TL;DR — There is no public parking at Wembley Stadium for England internationals, so the nearest pre-bookable spaces are at Matchday Parking at Lyon Park School, Wembley HA0 1SH — a 25–30 minute walk, £24.99 per car. On event days Brent Council’s Wembley Stadium Event Day Protective Parking Scheme covers roughly 1.5 miles around the ground, and a standard residents’ permit does not exempt you. A Penalty Charge Notice is £160, halved to £80 if paid within 14 days.
Is there parking at Wembley Stadium for England matches?
No. Wembley Stadium has no general public parking on event days. Official stadium car parks are sold to permit holders, hospitality guests and Club Wembley members in advance, and the small number of accessible bays are booked separately through the stadium.
For everyone else the realistic options are a pre-booked off-site space, or the Tube.

The Wembley Event Day Protective Parking Scheme
This is the single most important thing to understand before driving to Wembley, and the reason most parking fines are issued there.
Brent Council operates the Wembley Stadium Event Day Protective Parking Scheme, introduced in 2006. On event days it covers roughly 1.5 miles around the stadium — far wider than most visitors expect.
- In streets that already have a Controlled Parking Zone, restrictions run from 8am to midnight
- In streets without an existing CPZ, restrictions run from 10am to midnight and an Event Day Permit is required
- A standard Brent residents’ permit does not exempt you — a specific event-day permit is needed
- Restrictions are triggered by OVO Arena Wembley events too, not just the stadium
A Penalty Charge Notice in Brent is £160, reduced to £80 if paid within 14 days. Vehicles parked in contravention can also be removed.
Zone entry signs and digital displays on main routes show the date of the next major event, but the responsibility to check sits with the driver. Pre-booking a space outside the zone avoids the question entirely.
Road closures on event days
On stadium event days a series of road closures separate the roads east of Wembley Stadium from those to the west, including Empire Way and Wembley Park Hill. Routes that work on an ordinary day may not be available, so allow extra time and follow signed diversions.
Getting to Wembley by Tube
Wembley Park serves the Metropolitan and Jubilee lines and is a short signed walk to the stadium. Wembley Stadium station is on the Chiltern Railways line from London Marylebone, and Wembley Central serves the Bakerloo line and London Overground.
