Matchday Road Closures Around Murrayfield
Murrayfield's matchday traffic management catches out plenty of drivers, so it's worth knowing what to expect before you travel. Closures are confirmed ahead of each match, but at recent internationals they have included:
Before and after the match: Roseburn Street, including the junction with Russell Road.
After the match: The A8 from Ellersly Road to Haymarket, including Corstorphine Road, Roseburn Terrace, West Coates and Haymarket Terrace, plus the West Approach Road.
How long closures last: Roads around the stadium can be affected from around three hours before kick-off until four hours after.
Stewarded streets: On-street parking in some residential streets near the stadium is controlled on event days, so a pre-booked driveway is the simplest way to avoid a wasted journey.
Check Lothian Buses and Scottish Rugby in the days before each match for the confirmed closure times.
Getting to Murrayfield by Tram, Bus and Train
If you're parking in another part of Edinburgh and travelling the last stretch, the stadium is well connected.
By tram: Edinburgh Trams stop at the dedicated Murrayfield Stadium stop next to the Roseburn Street entrance, with trams every few minutes on matchdays. Buy your ticket before you board.
By bus: Lothian Buses services 12, 26 and 31 run along Corstorphine Road, services 3, 25 and 33 serve Gorgie Road, and services 22 and 30 stop on Westfield Road.
By train: Haymarket is the closest station, around a 15-minute walk from the stadium. From Edinburgh Waverley, it's a short tram, bus or train hop to Haymarket.
Park Near a Station and Take the Train to Murrayfield
Travelling in from outside Edinburgh? Parking near a station on your route and taking the train for the final stretch keeps you clear of the city's matchday traffic. Find train station parking near any of these stops:
From Glasgow and the West: Park near Linlithgow station, where trains reach Haymarket in around 16 minutes.
From Fife and the North: Park near Inverkeithing station, with frequent trains to Haymarket taking around 20 minutes.
From East Lothian and the East: Park near Musselburgh station, with trains into Edinburgh Waverley taking under 10 minutes. Services are less frequent on Sundays, so check times for the Australia match.
Murrayfield Stadium Parking FAQs
Where can I park for the Scotland rugby internationals at Murrayfield?
Your best option is a pre-booked driveway or private space through JustPark in neighbourhoods such as Roseburn, Balgreen, Gorgie or Corstorphine. Look for a space a short walk from the stadium but away from the A8, so you can get away easily once the roads reopen.
Is there free parking near Murrayfield Stadium?
It's very unlikely. Free spaces near the stadium are scarce at the best of times, and on international matchdays the closures and residential controls make on-street parking close to impossible. The simplest way to avoid a fine or a long search is to book a JustPark space before you leave home.
What time do the roads close around Murrayfield on matchdays?
Closures can be in place from around three hours before kick-off until four hours after, with Roseburn Street closed before and after the match and the A8 towards Haymarket closed afterwards. Confirmed timings are published before each match, so check them the day before you travel.
Is Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh's Low Emission Zone?
No. Murrayfield sits outside Edinburgh's city centre Low Emission Zone, which has been enforced since June 2024. If your route takes you through the city centre, check your vehicle meets the standards first, as non-compliant vehicles face penalty charges.
Can I find accessible parking near Murrayfield Stadium?
Yes. When you book with JustPark, you can filter for accessible spaces and Blue Badge-friendly options close to the stadium. Book early, as accessible spaces near the ground are limited on international matchdays.
When should I book parking for the Scotland v New Zealand match?
As soon as you have your tickets. The New Zealand game is the biggest fixture of the November series, and spaces closest to the stadium are usually the first to go.
