For Wolverhampton Wanderers fans heading to Molineux Stadium, getting to the ground is relatively simple thanks to its central location in Wolverhampton.

With strong rail, bus and metro connections, and the stadium just a short walk from the city centre, public transport is the preferred option for most supporters.

Whether you're travelling locally or arriving from further afield, FootballGroundGuide provides a complete guide to the best ways to get to the home of Wolves in 2026.

Getting to Molineux by Car

Driving to Molineux is straightforward, with clear routes from wherever you are heading in from.

If travelling from the South, then leave the M6 at Junction 10 and take the A454 to Wolverhampton, following signs into the city centre, while if you are coming from the North, then leave the M6 at Junction 12, take the A5, then join the A449 to Wolverhampton.

Once you reach the ring road, follow the signs for football parking. The stadium is located just off the ring road.

While driving is possible, traffic can build up on matchdays, particularly close to the ground.

One of the most convenient is the Civic Hall Car Park, which is located just off the ring road, with reasonable pricing.
