Below are the typical start times for events at Wembley Stadium so you can plan ahead.
Most events at Wembley follow predictable time slots, set by the operator (FA, EFL, NFL, promoter, etc.). Use these as guidance — always confirm against the official ticket:
Some events confirm timings only a few weeks ahead — particularly cup ties, when TV broadcasters choose kick-off slots. If today's event time shows as "TBC" on this page, that's usually because it hasn't been confirmed publicly yet. The official Wembley Stadium events calendar is normally updated within 24 hours of broadcast confirmations.
Gates typically open 90 minutes before kick-off for football and around two hours before for concerts and NFL games. This varies by event — your ticket will state the specific time.
The walk down Olympic Way takes 10 minutes on a quiet day, but expect 15–25 minutes on event day with crowd flow. Add bag checks and stewarded entry — total door-to-seat is usually 25–40 minutes from the station.
Yes. Brent Council's licence conditions effectively cap concert finish times around 22:30 on most occasions, with some 23:00 exceptions. Promoters timetable headline acts accordingly.
Last Met / Jubilee services from Wembley Park typically run until around 00:30. For night-time concert finishes, plan to be on a platform by midnight; for very late finishes, consider an Overground or Chiltern departure from Wembley Central or Wembley Stadium instead.
