Wembley Stadium tours run most non-matchdays and include the dressing rooms, the players' tunnel and the Royal Box.
Stands and where to sit
Wembley has three tiers, all of which give excellent sightlines. Club Wembley (middle tier) houses the premium seats; the upper and lower tiers are general admission.
For finals, the stadium is split down the middle between the two competing teams' supporters. Take note of which end your section is allocated to.
Getting to Wembley
Three nearby stations serve Wembley: Wembley Park (Jubilee and Metropolitan lines), Wembley Stadium (Chiltern Railways from Marylebone) and Wembley Central (Bakerloo and Overground). Wembley Park is the largest and most-used.
