Sixways Stadium

Sixways Stadium is a stadium in Worcester, England. It is currently used for rugby union and association football matches and is the home stadium of Champ Rugby side Worcester Warriors and Southern League Premier Division Central football side Worcester City and West Midlands Regional Women’s Football League side Worcester City Women F.C. It was also previously home to Worcester Warriors Women. Prior to their administration and suspension in 2022 Warriors competed in Premiership Rugby before reforming in Champ Rugby ahead of the 2025–26 season . The stadium is able to hold 12,067 with parking for 1,000 cars, Sixways has 60 modern meeting and event rooms . The ground opened in 1975 and is located off junction 6 of the M5 motorway, which splits into six directions, hence the name Sixways. The Stadium commenced building on the site of the old 3rd team pitch and club house after a lottery grant in 1998. On 7 April 2016 it was announced that Sixways' pitch would be converted to the latest technology artificial grass ahead of the 2016–17 season. Sixways would become the third Premiership Rugby venue with an artificial pitch after Copthall stadium and Kingston Park but the first to feature organic infill rather than rubber crumb.

Below the stand is the Slick Systems Supporters bar area for fans as well as food outlets and programme booths. In 2025 the stand was renamed as ‘The Cecil Duckworth Stand’ after the previous owner of the Worcester Warriors.

Opposite is the Hallmark Bar which hosts an exclusive bar and dining area open to West Stand Debenture holders. The West Stand is also home to the indoor training centre, changing rooms and rugby department offices which become the main training area for the Warriors during the week.
