Anthony Joshua vs Tyson Fury Tickets

Joshua vs Fury: 11 December 2026, Principality Stadium, Cardiff, 7pm GMT

Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury meet at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff on Friday 11 December 2026. The first bell is scheduled for 7pm GMT. The stadium holds 73,931 and has hosted boxing crowds close to 80,000 when configured for the sport, Joshua fought there twice before, against Joseph Parker in March 2018 and Carlos Takam in October 2017.

Netflix will broadcast the fight. The stadium's retractable roof will be closed for the event to suit the global broadcast window.

Demand is high. Joshua's two previous fights at the Principality Stadium drew 78,000 and close to 80,000 respectively, so the venue will almost certainly sell out.

What to expect from the venue

The Principality Stadium sits in central Cardiff next to Cardiff Central railway station on Westgate Street. It is the largest stadium in Wales and the fourth largest in the UK by capacity.

For major events, Cardiff city centre roads close in the hours around the event. Based on patterns from other large events in 2026, expect Duke Street, Castle Street, High Street, St Mary Street and Westgate Street to be affected. Check Cardiff Council's official traffic notices closer to December for confirmed closures specific to fight night.

Train travel is the most practical option. Cardiff Central is a two-minute walk from the stadium entrance. Transport for Wales and Great Western Railway both run additional services for major events, though you should book return travel in advance if you are coming from outside Cardiff.

Arrive early. Capacity events take time to get in, and the undercard bouts will begin well before the main event. Bag restrictions apply at the venue, so check the official stadium policy before you travel.

Background on the fight

Joshua and Fury are both British heavyweight champions. The fight has been discussed for several years before finally being confirmed for December 2026. Joshua's last appearance at the Principality Stadium was his March 2018 points win over Joseph Parker, which went the full 12 rounds. Fury has not fought at the venue before.

The closed roof means the atmosphere inside should be loud and contained regardless of December weather in Cardiff.

Buying tips

• Secondary market prices are above face value and tend to rise in the weeks before a sold-out fight. Buying earlier once listings appear is generally cheaper than waiting.
• Cardiff hotels fill up fast for stadium events. Book accommodation as soon as you have tickets confirmed.
• The venue is cashless for food and drink, so bring a contactless payment card.
