Ospreys will begin the redevelopment of their new home in St Helen’s next week, with the region set to move into their new home ahead of the 2026/27 season.

Once complete, the redevelopment will make St Helen’s into a venue ready for the next United Rugby Championship season, delivering what the club describe as “significant upgrades” for fans, players, staff and the wider community.

Key features of the plans include a new South Stand, and a redeveloped West Stand and terrace, ensuring an improved atmosphere and enhanced matchday experience across the ground.

Supporters will also benefit from the introduction of a designated fan zone, creating a more engaging and social environment on matchdays, alongside a wide range of hospitality.

Due to the scale and timing of the project, the redevelopment will be delivered through a phased approach, meaning that the full ground is unlikely to be ready by the time the Ospreys begin next season.

“This is an important moment for the Ospreys,” CEO Lance Bradley said.

“St Helen’s has a proud history, and these plans are about building on that to create a home that reflects who we are and where we’re going.

“We would like to thank Swansea Council for their continued support and collaboration throughout this process.

“Working together has been vital in helping us move these plans forward and ensuring St Helen’s can become a venue that serves both the Ospreys and the wider community.

“We want to create a venue that brings people together, not just for rugby, but as a focal point for our community, whilst also giving our players and staff the environment they need to perform.

“Delivering this in phases allows us to move forward at pace while being able to play at St Helen’s next season, which is incredibly important to us.”

The Ospreys add that further updates will be provided for fans as the redevelopment process continues.
