Round 4: Northampton Saints vs Vodacom Bulls 15 Jan 2027

If travelling from outside Northampton, the stadium is not too far from the M1 motorway. Exit at either junction 15a or 16, and follow the signs for Sixfields, or the brown rugby signage. Those using satellite navigation and looking to park their car at the stadium should use the postcode NN5 5JT (instead of the official venue postcode), as this provides more accurate routes to the car parks.

On-site car parking

There are 1,500 match day parking spaces at the stadium itself, many of which are located in the Claret Car Park off Edgar Mobbs Way, and visitors to the ground are encouraged to use them. Car parking is available on-the-day only, and costs £7.50.

For disabled visitors, there are 13 VIP disabled spaces and 25 standard disabled spaces on-site, and an allocation of just under 50 spaces in the stadium-adjacent Beacon Bingo car park. Accessible car parking can be booked in advance - to enquire about disabled parking contact the Northampton Saints ticket office directly:

Street parking

Whilst parking is also possible on nearby residential roads, it is only to be done so with utmost care, due to the residential nature of the area.

Travelling to by taxi is a straightforward way to reach the stadium from within Northampton; from Northampton train station, for example, it is less than a 10-minute journey. Whilst there is no dedicated on-site drop-off zone at Franklin's Gardens, there are many small roads around the stadium which can be used for drop-offs. Those travelling by car are encouraged to arrive early and allow extra time for journeys, due to the likelihood of busy traffic in the vicinity of the stadium on match days.
