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.

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.
