Barclays Premier League Teams Map: How to Find All Club Locations Easily

Alright folks, let me tell you about the headache I gave myself trying to map out all them Premier League teams. Seriously, sounds simple, right? Figure out where all 20 clubs call home. How hard could it be? Turns out, harder than I thought.

The “Smart” Idea That Wasn’t So Smart

So yesterday, I grabbed my laptop thinking, “This will take five minutes.” Bing open, typed in something obvious like “Premier League stadiums map”. Boom, images. Grabbed the first decent-looking map pic. Felt pretty good. Until I started zooming in.

The problem? That map was ancient. Like, last season ancient. Teams move?! Promotions! Relegations! Stupid mistake number one. Had me marking Villa Park for some team that wasn’t even there anymore. Felt like a right numpty.

Trying to Do It “Properly”

Fine, lesson learned. Needed the real, current locations. Hit up Google Maps itself this time. Decided I would manually search each club and drop a pin. Piece of cake? Not quite.

• Typing each club: Pain in the neck. Typos everywhere. “Spurs”, “Tottenham”, “Hotspur” – which one gives the right ground? Messy.
• Location confusion: Some towns have two clubs? Sort of? Like Everton and Liverpool. Sharing a city? Fine. But then Brentford… is that really London? Or is it just West London messing with my head? Took forever just figuring out which pin belonged to whom.
• Markers everywhere: My map looked like it had measles. All overlapping pins. Luton way out here, Brighton somewhere south… Newcastle way up north. Total chaos visually.

Couldn’t see the Premier League forest for the messy trees. Absolute disaster.

The Slightly Less Dumb Solution

After wasting too much time, I finally had a small brainwave. Kicked myself for not doing it first. Premier League official site. Obvious place, yeah? They’ve got to have this nailed down for fans.

Went digging on their site – took longer than expected, buried in “clubs” section, naturally. Found a list! Hallelujah! Each club with its proper stadium name, actual city/town, not just vague regional nonsense.

Armed with the right names and locations confirmed by the source, I went back to Google Maps. Searched with pinpoint accuracy:
“Anfield, Liverpool”,
“London Stadium, London”,
“Kenilworth Road, Luton”. Finally, the pins dropped where they were supposed to.

The Payoff (Sort Of)

Got all twenty dropped. Looked better. Organized? Not really. But accurate? Yup. Zooming out showed how spread out they actually are – Manchester, London clumps, then others dotted all over England. Interesting seeing it laid out.

Felt kinda satisfied saving it as “PremierLeague Clubs ACTUAL 2024” – learned my lesson about dating it this time! Should I make it neat? Maybe colour-code it? Nah. The messy map worked. Job done. Was it rocket science? No. Did it waste more time than it should’ve? Definitely. Point proved? Not sure what the point was, actually, but I found them all eventually.

There you go. That’s my brilliant mapping adventure. Less ‘easily’, more ‘eventually’.
