1. London
There’s so much to see and do in London you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to designing your itinerary, whether you want a beer in a traditional brewery before the match or want to hit all of the tourist destinations between fixtures.
The capital is home to 7 Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, so it’s never been easier to explore national football stadiums like Wembley with a private tour and catch an EPL match that coincides with your tour.
Off the pitch, all of the most popular tourist destinations are right on your doorstep, including the 13th-century Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace, and the Tower of London, which houses the Crown Jewels. Explore our London Soccer Getaways.
2. Manchester
Whether you’re a City fan or a United fan, Manchester is a top destination for footy fans from across the pond. The city is alive on match days with an electric atmosphere, and there’s no better place to experience it than at Old Trafford or the Etihad Stadium, which have decades of sporting history.
Stadium tours are an excellent way to see the history of the club and its famed players, and you can even take a detour to the National Football Museum for even more one-of-a-kind memorabilia and interactive games.
To expand your cultural horizons, you can pair this city trip with an art or science museum tour, or simply take in the Northern Quarter with a proper British pub pint, or a coffee in one of the many independent cafes. Pair this with neighboring Liverpool for an exclusive Liverpool & Manchester Football Tour.
3. Liverpool
One of the most recognizable clubs in the Premier League, Liverpool is on the to-do lists of many football fans visiting this region of England. You can cheer on The Reds from the stands at one of their home fixtures at Anfield alongside thousands of other supporters, as well as taking in a public or private tour of the stadium.
With a rich maritime history, Liverpool offers so much more than football experiences, including a satisfying walk around the Royal Albert Dock, multiple museums, and a cruise along the River Mersey to take in all of the most prominent landmarks.
The city is also famous for being the birthplace of The Beatles, so you can guarantee evenings of splendid live music in the Cavern Quarter, as well as lots of shopping opportunities in both Liverpool and Manchester.
4. Newcastle
Located in the northern reaches of England, Newcastle boasts its home stadium right in the centre of the city, so you can explore before and after matches without the need for transport.
Between games, you can take a stroll through the city centre and take in the historic architecture of Grey Street, or simply enjoy a beer along the Quayside. Matches are played throughout the week, meaning you can take advantage of timing that suits your itinerary when you want to explore street markets and nearby areas such as the many castles of Northumberland.
You can even enjoy a stroll along the beach in the morning, a football match in the afternoon, and a fancy evening meal to make the most out of your day.
5. Brighton & the Southern Coast
Brighton sits on the southern coast, around an hour from London, and offers a unique experience for football fanatics who want to enjoy everything the English Premier League has to offer, but also what England is known for too.
As it’s a seaside location, there’s no better place to enjoy authentic fish and chips, and there’s plenty of time to explore shopping locations such as The Lanes. For jaw-dropping architecture, a visit to The Royal Pavilion is a must, and the main Brighton & Hove Albion stadium is located in Falmer, just a short ride away.
On this tour, you can take in so much more than football matches, with connections to the White Cliffs of Dover, Windsor Castle, and Stonehenge all possible.
6. Yorkshire & Sheffield
A visit to Yorkshire in the heart of England is an unforgettable experience, as you can take in historic towns such as Leeds and York, as well as exciting football matches in Sheffield, which has a history of the sport dating back to the 1850s.
There’s so much to see and do in this region of England known as ‘God’s Own Country’, including the sprawling Yorkshire Dales National Park, the medieval streets of York with quaint coffee shops, and towering cathedrals.
Alongside match fixtures, you’ll be able to make memories in village pubs set among stone cottages, and the best part is your whole itinerary is tailored to you so nothing is off limits.
7. Birmingham, Leicester & Nottingham
Central England offers footy fanatics three Premier League clubs in Aston Villa, Leicester City and Nottingham Forest. The area is known as the Midlands, and you can combine your football adventure with any number of exciting trips.
Whether you want to experience Indian food on the famed Golden Mile in Leicester, enjoy a traditional pub meal at a canalside restaurant in Birmingham, or stroll through Robin Hood’s Sherwood Forest near Nottingham, this is an adventure that can be enjoyed by the whole family. It’s just one of the many reasons to consider our family soccer Tours in England.
If you’re planning on taking in multiple football matches in both London and the north of England, the Midlands is an excellent way to connect them to extend your experience.
Beyond the Football Cities
Although England has dozens of football stadiums and matches to take part in and enjoy, England offers so much more to visitors who thrive on the history and culture of a location in addition to its sporting activities.
As EPL Soccer Tours builds your itinerary around you, you can add in any number of extras including visits to century-old Roman Baths, a tour of the royal Windsor Castle, and even the mystical monoliths of Stonehenge.
There are also hundreds of picture-perfect Cotswold villages to explore, the historic streets and cathedrals of the North, including York Minster, and walks in national parks such as the Lake District and Peak District, which have inspired classic English literature.
Whether you prefer a guided sightseeing tour of British landmarks, relaxed afternoons strolling market towns, or a luxury countryside retreat with football matches worked in, EPL Soccer Tours is here to deliver your perfect vacation.
