Whilst appealing to a worldwide audience of fans watching from across the globe, the atmosphere of the Premier League is built by match-going supporters, who spend their hard-earned money to travel the country, cheering on their team.
Over the past three decades, a total of 51 teams that plied their trade at some point in the Premier League, with the current crop of 20 consisting of English powerhouses, historic giants and clubs punching above their metaphorical weight.
Given the variability in stature of the clubs, there are also major difference betweens the stadiums that provide the venues for the drama of England's top division, meaning that some fans make it their mission to travel the span of the land to experience all of the grounds.
But that begs the question, what are the best current away days in the Premier League?
Here, we rank the top 10 Premier League away days, taking into account factors such as atmosphere, facilities and location.
10. American Express Stadium (Brighton & Hove Albion)
Falmer Stadium – currently known as the American Express Stadium for sponsorship reasons – brings up the rear in our top 10, providing a unique backdrop for Premier League football and a South Coast base for Brighton & Hove Albion.
Opened over 14 years ago in July 2011, the Amex is located North-East of Brighton's centre, allowing the venue to be surrounded by plenty of greenery, making it a picturesque place to watch your team play top-flight football.
Given its relative moderness, the home of the Seagulls possesses great facilities inside the ground, although you will struggle to find a plethora of pubs around the ground due to its isolation from the main part of Brighton.
There are also issues for away fans in the area of transport during trips to the Amex because of its location on the South Coast, however the stadium's interesting location and facilities allow it to squeeze onto our list.
9. Hill Dickinson Stadium (Everton)
Simply referred to as ‘Everton Stadium' during its recent construction, Hill Dickinson Stadium in the newest ground in the Premier League, with the Toffees beginning their era at the venue at the beginning of the 2025-26 season.
Learning from the failures of West Ham United's switch to the London Stadium from Upton Park, Hill Dickinson is a modern arena done right for the most part, enhancing supporter acoustics with clever structure designs and steep stands.
There have been well-documented issues around the Bramley-Moore dock area on matchdays, including problems with transport links, lack of disabled parking areas and traffic congestion, however they should not put away supporter off visiting the stadium for potentially the first time.
On top of that, the city of Liverpool is a vibrant hub of football on the weekends thanks to Everton and their local rivals from Anfield, with a wide range of pub and restaurants options just a brief walk away from the docks.
8. St James' Park (Newcastle United)
Opened in 1892 and since renovated on three separate occasions, St James' Park is an iconic ground in Premier League history as the fortress of Newcastle United, who have enjoyed a remarkable rise in recent times under Saudi ownership.
A one-club city, the whole of Newcastle gets behind Eddie Howe's Magpies on matchdays, with over 52,000 supporters packing out the stands at the North-East arena, providing one of the best atmospheres in the top flight.
Adding to the positive experience, there a plenty of pub options around the arena, which sits slightly North-West of the city centre, making it easy to navigate to once in the area on the day of a top-flight fixture.
There are some pretty big downsides to an away day at St James' Park, which is often one of the longest trips for away supporters in the Premier League, whilst the housing of travelling fans in the top tier of the Leazes End means that you might be smart to bring a pair of binoculars.
7. Villa Park (Aston Villa)
Following a similar theme as the base of Newcastle United, Villa Park is a historic Premier League venue, home of Aston Villa, the club that has enjoyed the most success in England's second city during its 151-year history.
The ground's location at the heart of the Midlands makes it one of the most accessible trips for travelling fans in the top flight, boasting great transport links courtesy of stations such as Birmingham New Street and Birmingham Moor Street.
One negative of the matchday experience involving Villa Park is that the stadium is not in walking distance of the Second City's hospitality hubs such as Brindleyplace, Digbeth and New Street, with limited pub options in Aston itself.
Whilst Birmingham City's new planned home in the Bordesley Green area of the city will eclipse Villa Park in terms of capacity, the base of Aston Villa will always win the battle of history, making it a must-visit ground for many supporters.
6. Selhurst Park (Crystal Palace)
Home of the one-time FA Cup winners, Selhurst Park is one of seven London venues in the Premier League and the first to appear on our list, with the ground boasting an EFL feel due to its lack of modern updates.
Almost in direct response to cries of poor support at stadiums in the top flight, fans of the Eagles attempt to provide a more continental atmosphere, including constant chanting, drums and large flags behind the Whitehorse Lane stand.
As a result, a trip to Selhurst Park is one of the more interesting and unique experiences currently available in the Premier League, with away teams also having a relatively decent chance of witnessing a win for their side.
Surrounded by rows of houses and situated between Croydon and Sydenham in the capital, the home of Crystal Palace is not the easiest to find, meaning that it is unable to crack the top five in our list of Premier League away days overall.
5. Old Trafford (Manchester United)
The largest stadium in the Premier League with a capacity of over 75,000, Old Trafford is the iconic of Manchester United, who – like the state of their ground – has experienced a standout decline since the departure of legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson in 2013.
Despite constant digs from rival fans following comical leaks from the roof of the arena during spells of consistent rainfall, the Theatre of Dreams remains as one of the most impressive stadiums in the top flight of English football.
There are plenty of pub options around Old Trafford and a short tram trip away in the main city centre, with the city itself connected well to the Midlands, Yorkshire and other parts of North-West England, making travel on a matchday pretty simple.
The concourses of Old Trafford are a little tired and you can see why Man United are planning to move into a new ground, however given its history, it is hard to describe a trip to the Theatre of Dreams as anything other than enjoyable.
4. The City Ground (Nottingham Forest)
On the banks of the River Trent, the City Ground might be a surprise selection in the top four for some readers, however those that have visited the East Midlands venue on a Premier League matchday will understand the appeal.
After over two decades outside of the first division, Nottingham Forest returned to the top table of English football recently, bringing back a surprisingly-hostile atmosphere, with all four sides of the arena known for their passionate and boisterous support.
Food and drink prices are relatively reasonable at the City Ground, while the base of Notts County is often used as an designated fan zone for away supporters whilst also providing additional secure parking close to the action.
Not performing the best in the Premier League this season, Forest are likely to give away supporters the chance of cheer in the East Midlands, which has great transport links to the rest of the country including London and the West Midlands.
3. Anfield (Liverpool)
A must-experience ground of fans of football across the globe, Anfield is the infamous home of Liverpool, who enjoyed a resurgence in power over the past decade courtesy of legendary head coach Jurgen Klopp.
The Merseyside venue provides the backdrop for arguably the best pre-match anthem in the game, with supporters of the Reds stunning away supporters into silence with a passionate rendition of ‘You'll Never Walk Alone'.
Anfield is high up on our list for its aura alone, however the atmosphere during the actual match is often described as lacklustre, with large sections of the venue filled by tourists who are less likely to belt out songs at maximum volume.
Nevertheless, given its deep tradition and good location in the North-West region of Liverpool, Anfield is undoubtedly a standout away day for Premier League supporters, although fans should not pin their hopes on an away victory.
2. Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (Tottenham Hotspur)
Another example of a modern stadium done right, Tottenham Stadium is the third-largest football stadium in England and the biggest football club stadium in London, making it a standout arena on paper already.
Opened in 2019, the North London venue is home of relegation-threatened Tottenham Hotspur, who would possess facilities way too good for the second tier of English football should they suffer the dreaded drop in May.
The sheer size of the ground is impressive, on top of the brilliant atmosphere generated by the single-tier stand at the other end compared to where the away supporters are housed.
The North London ground is only bested on our list by a single stadium, making it a must-see arena for fans of the Premier League.
1. Craven Cottage (Fulham)
On the banks of the River Thames, Craven Cottage is the most unique place to watch football in the Premier League at the time of writing, with the West London venue instantly recognisable to avid fans from around the world.
Away supporters can enjoy a scenic boat trip up the River Thames before arriving at the stadium, an experience that stands out like a sore thumb in a country full of stadiums surrounded by retail parks and lifeless city centres.
There is an interesting “neutrals” section in one of the stands at Craven Cottage, essentially making it easier for away supporters to secure a spot at the match even if they miss out on their club's official allocation.
