Luton Town announce plans to begin construction on new Power Court stadium

Luton Town have announced plans to begin the construction of their new Power Court stadium.

The Hatters announced they intend to begin construction of their new 25,000 capacity stadium as a replacement for their historic Kenilworth Road ground, with the Hatters announcing they intend to move grounds by the start of the 2028/29 season.

To this end, Luton Town also announced that they have signed a pre-construction partnership with Limak International, whose work includes the renovation of Barcelona’s Camp Nou Stadium.

Gary Sweet, Chief Executive of Luton Town Football Club, said on the club’s official website that the news represented a major opportunity for the club.

Sweet said, “This is a transformative opportunity for the Club, helping us realise our ambitions to be a Premier League club again one day. We are united with the supporters on the need for a new stadium to move our Luton Town forward and we are delighted to be moving into this exciting construction phase.

“Importantly, this new stadium project roots us in our community, bringing jobs and investment as part of the wider regeneration of the area. Partnering with a company of Limak’s international standing offers us a global perspective with local delivery. We will collaborate closely with them to ensure the stadium reflects the spirit and needs of the community.

“It has been a long road to this point, but we are so excited at the prospect of welcoming our supporters to Power Court in the near future and the ability to extend our support base and enhance our unique match-day experience.”

The Hatters were previously granted planning permission in December 2024 to begin construction of the project, having first acquired the land upon which the stadium will be built in 2016.

Paul Stephens, Chair of Luton Town Supporters’ Trust, said, “This represents a major step forward for our Club – every fan will be excited at the idea of taking their seat at our new stadium, and now we have a clear path to this historic day, rooting us in the heart of the town while showing real ambition for the future. On behalf of our members, I welcome the Club’s contracting partnership with Limak International – especially one of such pedigree – and I’m sure I speak for all members when I say we can’t wait to see construction work on site.”

Hazel Simmons, Leader of Luton Borough Council, added, “The start of construction at Power Court is a significant milestone for our Club and our town. This development is about much more than football — it will unlock long-term regeneration, bring jobs, homes, and vitality back to the centre of Luton. We are proud to support Luton Town in making this vision a reality and are delighted Limak has been chosen to partner with the Club at this time.”
