UK Athletics Indoor Championships 14-15 Feb 2026

Located in the centre of Birmingham, the venue is easy to get to by car, but busy traffic means you should leave plenty of time for your journey. It is also worth noting that the Utilita Arena falls within the city's new Clean Air Zone, so check whether you will incur any fees before you travel. 

There are more than 2,000 parking spaces at the venue itself, and it is recommended that you book a space in advance on the Arena's official website. Other nearby car parks include the Q-Park at Brindleyplace, which is a 290 m (3 min) walk from the venue and includes an electric car charging station, and the Paradise Circus Car Park, which is a 550 m (7 min) walk away. Neither car park is free to use. There is also another electric car charging station to the south of the venue on Oozells Way – a 600 m (7 min) walk from the Arena.

Blue badge parking for disabled visitors or visitors with specific accessibility needs is located on Level 11 of the venue car park. There are direct lifts to the Arena entrances from there.

The venue's proximity to Birmingham city centre means there is no shortage of city-wide bus routes at its doorstep:

• 9 Platinum, 10, 12, 12A, 13, 13A, 23 Platinum, 24 Platinum, 126, X8 Platinum, & X10 Platinum - St. Vincent Street stop · 50 m (1 min) walk

For visitors from outside Birmingham, Digbeth coach station is a 2.4 km (29 min) walk away, or 10 minutes in a taxi. The coach station is used by many travel companies, including National Express. Other coaches (e.g. Megabus) also stop within a short walk of the venue.
