To ensure the safety and comfort of all guests, bags must be no larger than A4 size.
Height: 297mm (11.7 inches)
Width: 210mm (8.27 inches)
Depth: 210mm (8.27 inches)
These dimensions refer to the actual size of the bag, not its contents. Bags that are half full or folded to appear smaller will not be accepted. Guests arriving with bags larger than A4 will be refused entry unless the bag is required for medical purposes and approved in advance through our Medical Exemption process. For full details, please see our Bag Policy.
Please note: If you intend to bring water into the stadium, only clear, empty, crushable plastic bottles of 500ml or less are permitted. This applies to all guests, including those with a Medical Exemption Certificate. For concerts, bottles are not permitted in pitch standing areas.
Different event owners have their own bag policy, for events such as UEFA, NFL & Rugby, please visit the specific event page for more details (click here)
- All ticket holders are prohibited from bringing any bag into the stadium unless it adheres to the Wembley Stadium regulations as outlined below. Entry of any non-compliant bag will be refused.
- Bags will be checked at an outer cordon and a bag gauge will be used for any dispute on size.
- All items and bags carried by spectators and staff will be carefully inspected upon entry to the stadium, which may include a personal wanding or pat down.
- All match day merchandise purchases will be supplied in a clear plastic bag in line with this policy and will be admissible. If you purchase merchandise from one of our concession stands on the outer concourse or the external stadium store, the bag will be sealed because it is inside the security cordon. Please do not break the seal until you enter the venue.
Medical Exemption Certificates
If for any reason (medical) you require a bag or to bring in medication, that does not adhere to this policy, please contact us prior to event day by submitting a request and selecting 'Medical Exemption Certificate' as the topic. You can submit a request by clicking here.

The above is not exhaustive, and we do consider each application on a case by case basis. You will be issued with a certificate representing your right to take those items into the stadium. You will need to produce this certificate at the outer security cordon. Your bag will be searched and may be subject to an x-ray scan before entering the venue.
