Derry City FC is advising supporters of significant updates to matchday parking arrangements at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium, effective immediately. These changes are necessary to facilitate preparations for the upcoming £1.4 million installation of a new hybrid grass pitch.
The inner car park is now closed to the general public to provide essential storage for pitch replacement materials.
A limited number of disabled parking spaces will remain available within the inner car park for those with blue badges.
The main outer car park remains available for supporters, however, it is expected to reach capacity early on matchdays due to use by players, club staff, and council officials.
Through a partnership with Derry GAA, the club has secured approximately 90 additional spaces at the College Field (Celtic Park).

These spaces are available on a first-come, first-served basis. To assist with the transition, club stewards will be deployed at the Celtic Park location from 6.15pm onwards on match nights to monitor parking and assist fans.
Significant traffic and parking congestion are anticipated due to the club's continued run of capacity attendances. This includes tonight’s fixture versus Dundalk FC (7.30 kick-off), where a full house is once again expected at the Ryan McBride Brandywell Stadium.
