Sheffield Sharks Heritage

Venues & Arenas

A journey through the Sharks' homes over the decades — from humble beginnings at Concord Sports Centre to the state-of-the-art Canon Medical Arena.

Every great club has a story shaped by the buildings it has called home. Sheffield Sharks have played at five major venues across more than three decades — each one marking a different chapter in the club's evolution.
