The MKM Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium in Kingston upon Hull, England. It has a current capacity of 25,586.[1] The stadium is home to both association football club Hull City A.F.C. of the EFL Championship and rugby league club Hull F.C. of the Super League.[3][4]
It was previously known as the KC Stadium, but was renamed the KCOM Stadium as part of a major rebrand on 4 April 2016 by the stadium's sponsor KCOM.[5] In June 2021, it was renamed to its current name, the MKM Stadium, as part of a five-year sponsorship with MKM Building Supplies.[6] During UEFA competitions, the stadium is known as the Hull City Stadium due to sponsorship regulations.
Conceived in the late 1990s, it was completed in 2002 at a cost of approximately £44 million.[7] The stadium is owned by Hull City Council and operated by the Stadium Management Company (SMC), who have previously considered expanding the stadium capacity up to 34,000. The bowl-shaped stadium contains a continuous single tier of seats with a second tier on the west side.[8]
The stadium occasionally hosts international association football and rugby league competitions and acts as a venue for concerts by musical artists.[9][10][11] Previous performances at the stadium include Elton John and The Who.[12][13]
