The Falkirk Stadium is an all-seater football stadium in Falkirk, central Scotland, which is the home ground of Scottish Championship club Falkirk and Lowland Football League club East Stirlingshire since 2018. The stadium has a capacity of 7,937[1] and currently consists of three fully completed stands.

The stadium was opened in 2004 with the main stand completed. It became the home of Falkirk in the same year after the club ground shared Ochilview Park for the 2003–04 season whilst the stadium was being constructed. The north and south stands were built and opened in 2005 and 2009 respectively. East Stirlingshire have shared the ground since 2018, when they ended their own groundshare at Ochilview to return to Falkirk.
