List of Football League Championship stadiums

Since the inception of the Football League Championship, England's current second tier, in 2004, there have been 49 stadiums used in the League. Following the Hillsborough Disaster in 1989, the Taylor Report recommended the abolition of standing terraces by the start of the 1994–95 season, to be replaced by all-seater stadiums.^[1] Certain grounds have had terracing in recent years.
