How to get to Turf Moor in 2026: Best ways for fans to travel to the home of Burnley

Turf Moor is one of the most traditional grounds in English football, located close to the town centre and well connected by road and rail from across the North West.

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 Burnley in 2026.

Getting to Turf Moor by Car

Turf Moor is accessible via the M65, with routes into Burnley depending on your direction of travel.

From the East, leave the M65 at Junction 12 and follow signs for Burnley North (A682), continuing over roundabouts onto Colne Road before joining Casterton Avenue. From here, follow signs towards the A6114 and continue onto Belvedere Road, where the stadium will come into view.

From the West, exit the M65 at Junction 9 and follow signs for Halifax (A679). Continue through Accrington Road and Rossendale Road before joining Glen View Road and then Todmorden Road, where Turf Moor sits at the foot of the hill.

From the North or South, leave the M6 at Junction 29 and join the M65. Exit at Junction 10 and follow signs for Towneley Hall, continuing along local roads directly past Turf Moor.

Matchday traffic can build up quickly, so supporters are advised to allow extra time for arrival.

Car Parking at Turf Moor

Parking around Turf Moor is limited, and many surrounding streets operate matchday restrictions, meaning residential parking is heavily controlled.

Supporters are encouraged to use official or pre-booked parking options where possible, including:

• Woodgrove Car Park (Towneley Park, BB11 3RQ) – around a 5-minute walk
• Deanmill Car Park (Plumb Street, BB11 3AG) – around a 4-minute walk
