Scottish Citylink

By Tram

The Edinburgh Tram is the most direct link to the stadium, dropping you off at the dedicated Murrayfield Stadium stop right next to the Roseburn Street entrance.

Frequency: Trams run every few minutes on match days.
Tickets: You must buy your ticket before boarding. Use the ticket machines at stops or the Lothian Bus and Tram app.
Top Tip: Purchase a “Family Day Tripper” or a return ticket in advance to avoid long queues at the ticket machines after the final whistle.

By Rail

Haymarket Station: This is the closest station to the stadium. It is a major hub for services from Glasgow, Fife, and the North. Expect a 15-minute walk to the stadium from here.
Waverley Station: If you arrive at the main city station, you can hop on a tram, a bus, or a short connecting train to Haymarket.

Park and Ride

Driving directly to the stadium is not recommended, as there is no public parking on-site and heavy road closures are in effect 3 hours before and 4 hours after kick-off. There are seven park and rides operating in and around Edinburgh. Visit The City of Edinburgh Council website for information on the park and rides in Edinburgh.

The App is King: Download the Scottish Rugby Ticketing App before you leave home. Ensure your phone is fully charged as your digital ticket will be scanned at the turnstiles.
