Which nights should you book for Stadium Golf?
Since Stadium Golf takes place on a single day — Friday, 12 December 2026 — most supporters will only need to book one night. If you’re arriving from out of town and plan to attend the event in the evening, consider booking the night before (Thursday 11) to avoid rush-hour travel or last-minute accommodation shortages. If the fixture runs late or you’d like to relax nearby afterwards, booking the night of the event (Friday 12) is advisable — but note that no information is given about kick-off time or event duration, so plan accordingly.
