Getting there & parking

Select Car Leasing Stadium is an away-day destination where the final approach matters. Check the fixture information before travel because parking, segregation and coach arrangements can change.

Parking options

Compare official and private matchday parking

Official matchday parking

Most stadium spaces are reserved for seasonal permit holders. Match-by-match spaces, when released, must be pre-booked; Car Park 6 off the A33 at the Bennet Road roundabout is a separate off-site option under ten minutes' walk away.

The current visiting route recommends the free Mereoak/Shinfield park-and-ride. For the September 2026 fixture guidance, the F3 return shuttle is £7.50 for adults and £5.50 concessions; treat that as a dated fare and check the current match before travel.

Private matchday parking

JustPark lists reservable managed spaces and private driveways in Reading. Search around the stadium postcode, then check the real walking route, access window and cancellation terms before booking.

Private spaces are independent of the club; a very close driveway may still sit inside the post-match traffic queue.

Availability, prices and access arrangements can change by fixture. Always check the booking details before travelling.

By train

Reading station is roughly three miles from the stadium. The F1 football special normally links the station with the ground, while Reading Green Park station is under a mile away but has a less frequent local service. Check the match-specific bus timetable and return queue before travel.

Reading station information

By bus or coach

Check the current local timetable for the final leg to Select Car Leasing Stadium. Away coaches and minibuses should follow the instructions issued by the visiting club and must not assume a public parking bay.

Driving

Leave the M4 at Junction 11 and use the A33 towards Reading. Stadium and business-park roads become heavily congested; approach the exact booked car park or park-and-ride site and do not use surrounding commercial premises without permission.

Use RG2 0FL only for the general area, then follow matchday signs and the entrance named in your parking instructions. Allow extra time for residential roads and pedestrian traffic.

After the match

Expect the roads immediately around Select Car Leasing Stadium to move slowly while pedestrians clear. Rail users should confirm the last practical connection; drivers may prefer to wait before joining the main route.

Travel, parking, ticket allocations and stadium procedures can change by fixture. Check the latest information from both clubs and the relevant operator before travelling. Guide checked 26 September 2026.
