Headingley

Headingley holds 18350 spectators when full. A packed crowd turns the stands into a loud enclosure for the major fixtures hosted in Leeds. The ground sits in West Yorkshire and serves as a major sporting hub for the north of England.

Cricket has a long operational timeline here running from 1975 through to 2026. Yorkshire and England play their home matches at the ground regularly. Other regular users include the Northern Superchargers alongside county sides like Derbyshire Falcons and Lancashire Lightning.

The fixture list spans several distinct domestic and international competitions. Teams contest matches here across the County Championship and the T20 Blast. The venue also stages fixtures from The Hundred alongside major global tournaments like the ICC Cricket World Cup and the ICC World Test Championship.

Domestic action brings frequent encounters against visiting counties. Somerset secured a narrow two-wicket win against Yorkshire during the 2026 fixtures. Yorkshire bounced back in other matches that same season, defeating the Notts Outlaws by 18 runs and Leicestershire Foxes by 41 runs.

Further success for the home side in 2026 included a five-wicket victory over Durham and a heavy 106-run win against Lancashire Lightning. Gloucestershire managed to reverse that trend with a 56-run win over Yorkshire during the same block of games.

International and short-form tournaments bring additional matches to the schedule. Future fixtures booked for the ground include England facing Pakistan alongside matches for Sunrisers Leeds against Welsh Fire and London Spirit.

The operational scope of the venue covers domestic red-ball and white-ball cricket alongside international series. Teams travel to Leeds to compete under the governance of various national and global cricket bodies.
