Bimsmith 2022 Five Largest Stadiums List __top__ May 2026

Source: BIMsmith Market Insight (2022) Ranking Criteria: Official seating capacity (excluding standing room or temporary seating) Primary Use: Multi-purpose sports (mostly American football, soccer, and cricket) Overview In 2022, the world’s five largest stadiums remained concentrated in Asia and the United States. The list was dominated by college football venues in the U.S., with one historic cricket ground in India. Notably, no soccer-specific stadium (e.g., Camp Nou or Wembley) made the top five due to their smaller permanent seated capacities.
