Directions by Car to The Sunderland Stadium of Light

Exit the A1 at Junction 62, the Durham/Sunderland exit and take the A690 towards Sunderland. After approx eight miles, you will reach a roundabout at which you turn left onto the A19. It is signposted for the Tyne Tunnel. Stay in the left hand lane and take the second slip road towards Sunderland (signposted Stadium Of Light, A1231 Sunderland). This takes you onto a bridge crossing over the River Wear. Turn right onto the A1231 following the signs for Sunderland. Go straight over four roundabouts into Sunderland.

You then go through two sets of traffic lights (keeping in the left hand lane at the second set, going straight on towards Roker rather than the city centre) and you will see the Stadium car park on your right, about a mile after the traffic lights. However there is only limited parking at the ground, so alternatively, you can park in the city centre and walk to the ground (about 10-15 minutes). The traffic can be bad so you want to get parked ahead of time.
