Heading to the Swansea.com Stadium to watch the Swans in action?

Here's everything you need to know about making your way there without any hassle - especially handy for our Global Jacks who might be visiting for the first time!

Driving to the Stadium

Coming via the M4? Take Junction 45 and follow the brown "Stadium" signs, you can't miss them! Pop SA1 2FA into your Sat Nav to lead you straight there.

Watch out for the match-day buzz about 90 minutes before kick-off around Morfa Road and New Cut Road, traffic can build up quickly.

This is a heads-up for visitors: Wales introduced a 20mph limit on most urban roads in 2023, so keep an eye on your speed.

From Swansea city centre, you're looking at a 10-25 minute drive depending on match day traffic.

  • Virgin Media Site: A popular choice just 10-15 minutes' walk away on Matrix Court, Enterprise Park. It'll set you back £10 and booking ahead at swanseaparking.co.uk is your best bet. Use SA7 9BB for your sat nav.

Landore Park and Ride:

Park up for £5 and hop on the shuttle bus to the ground - easy!

Disabled parking spaces are limited, so contact the club's Disability Liaison Officer as early as possible. Email: [email protected]

Watch out for those parking restrictions on residential streets - the traffic wardens know it's match day too!

Buses and Trains

You can catch the special match-day bus (Service 9) from the city centre, which runs two hours before kick-off.

Regular buses (4 and 4A) also stop nearby, but they get packed on match days.

Coming by train? Swansea Railway Station is about a 35-minute walk away, and it has direct connections to Cardiff, London, and other major cities.

A taxi from the station will cost around £10-£15 and take 10-15 minutes, traffic permitting.

After the match, you'll find taxi ranks by the West Stand for your journey back.

Walking to the Ground

Fancy stretching your legs? It's a pleasant 30-40 minute walk from the city centre.

Follow the River Tawe path from the Sailbridge - it's flat and straightforward.

Evening match? The main routes are well-lit, but some areas near the industrial estate can be darker.

Keep an eye on the Global Jacks website for our group walks - a great way to meet fellow fans before the match!

Timing Tips
  • For Saturday 3pm kick-offs, aim to be in the area 90 minutes early if you're driving.
  • Taking public transport? Get there about an hour before kick-off.
  • Midweek games tend to have lighter traffic than weekends, but watch out for that rush hour.
Turnstiles open 1.5 hours before the match starts - beat the rush by arriving early.

The 30 minutes before kick-off see the biggest queues, so time your arrival to avoid them.

Tips for Our International Jacks

First visit? Pre-book your parking to save stress on the day.

Not sure about driving? Public transport might be your easiest option.

Give yourself plenty of extra time if you're not familiar with Swansea.
