\n\n

Fans are returning to Premier League stadiums in their thousands in 2021\/22 following a season where coronavirus restrictions meant very few of the 380 games on show were actually attended.<\/p>\n

While we spent most of last season watching Premier League fixtures<\/a> on TV, it\u2019s time to get back into the grounds and make some noise as a sense of normality returns to the top flight.<\/p>\n

Ticket sales across the league are high this summer with the clamour to watch live sport showing no sign of easing up.<\/p>\n

And 2021\/22 sees a new Premier League stadium join the list in the form of the Brentford Community Stadium, which opened for the start of last season\u2019s Championship campaign \u2013 and which oversaw the Bees\u2019 promotion to the top flight.<\/p>\n

RadioTimes.com<\/a> has rounded up the complete list of Premier League stadiums to be used in 2021\/22 including those of teams promoted from the second tier. Plus check out the full Premier League TV schedule<\/a>.<\/p>\n
