    • EE has launched its 5G Standalone (5G SA) network at Wembley Stadium, making it the first UK sporting venue with dedicated 5G SA coverage.
    • The deployment is part of EE’s nationwide 5G SA rollout, which began in September 2024 across major UK cities.

    What happened: EE rolls out 5G Standalone network at Wembley Stadium

    On February 10, 2025, EE announced the deployment of its 5G Standalone (5G SA) network at Wembley Stadium in London. This upgrade marks Wembley as the first sporting venue in the UK to feature a dedicated 5G SA network, enhancing connectivity for fans and event operations.

    Unlike previous 5G deployments that relied on existing 4G infrastructure, 5G SA runs on a fully independent 5G core network, delivering faster speeds, lower latency, and improved capacity. EE launched its broader 5G SA rollout in September 2024, initially covering 15 major UK cities, including London, Belfast, Birmingham, Cardiff, Glasgow, and Manchester.

    The new network at Wembley will be used for the first time during an upcoming England Women’s football match later this month, showcasing its capabilities in a live stadium environment.

    Why it’s important 

    The deployment of 5G SA at Wembley Stadium is a milestone in the evolution of mobile connectivity in large-scale venues. With higher speeds and lower latency, 5G SA enhances the fan experience, supports real-time data streaming, and improves stadium operations.

    This rollout also signals EE’s commitment to advancing the UK’s telecom infrastructure and paving the way for widespread 5G SA adoption, which will be crucial for future innovations in mobile technology and smart venues.
