Inclusive DESIGN Index - Stadiums 2025

The Inclusive Design Index: Stadiums 2025 highlights emerging global trends in accessibility and inclusion across major sporting and entertainment venues. While compliance with mobility and physical access standards is now common, there remains significant variation in the provision of parent rooms, assistance animal relief areas, multi-faith prayer rooms, and sensory/reset spaces.

Most stadiums still lack consistent data on occupancy and utilisation rates, indicated by “*” in the dataset. However, the inclusion of these facilities is steadily increasing, reflecting a shift toward universal and experience-based design that values comfort, dignity, and participation for all spectators — regardless of ability, culture, or sensory needs.
