Find your matchday job at the UK's biggest grounds

Pick a job listing, read the role and follow the link to the employer's application page. Most matchday roles are part-time/casual contracts, so you typically apply directly with the catering, hospitality or stewarding company that operates inside the ground.

For most entry-level roles like bar staff, kiosk assistants, ushers or cleaning team, prior experience is not required. Stewarding roles usually require an SIA Door Supervisor or SIA Public Space Surveillance licence – or you'll be supported through an NVQ-level training programme to get one.

Pay depends on the role and venue. For 2025/26, casual matchday roles in the UK typically pay between £12.21 and £15 per hour, with premium hospitality roles, supervisor roles and shifts at large London venues paying more.

No. Big venues like Wembley, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Old Trafford and the Principality Stadium also host concerts, rugby, NFL games, conferences and tours, so there is usually work outside the football season too.

Yes, with limits. 16 and 17 year olds can often work food kiosks, retail and some junior stewarding roles, but cannot sell alcohol or hold an SIA licence. Most bar, hospitality and licensed security jobs are 18+. University students who are 18+ can apply for almost every casual matchday role; Student visa holders must stay inside their weekly hour cap.

You'll need proof of right to work in the UK (passport, BRP, or share code), bank details for payroll, and National Insurance number. Stewarding roles also require a valid SIA licence and may need an enhanced DBS check.

Many employers run rolling recruitment ahead of the season and during big event spikes. For casual catering and stewarding roles, you can often go from application to first shift within 2–4 weeks once your right-to-work checks and (where relevant) SIA licence are in order.
