In the 2026-27 season, Çorum FK are playing in the Süper Lig for the first time in their history. That means more away supporters and football visitors arriving in the city. This guide gathers the evergreen, fixture-independent information you'll need whenever you come to Çorum for a match.
🏟️ The stadium
Çorum FK play their home matches at Çorum City Stadium (Çorum Şehir Stadyumu). The stadium is in the central Merkez district of the city and has a capacity of around 15,000.

- On match days traffic and parking near the stadium can get busy — set off early and use public transport if you can.
- Arriving from out of town, it's straightforward to reach the stadium via the bus terminal and the centre.
🕒 Planning your match day
Matches are usually played in the afternoon or evening, which leaves plenty of daytime for seeing the city. Our suggestion:
- Morning: a half-day tour of the centre (route below).
- Midday: lunch at a local restaurant in the centre and some leblebi shopping.
- Before kick-off: head to the stadium early to beat traffic and entry queues.
