Perth Stadium, also known as Optus Stadium under a naming rights agreement, is a multi-purpose stadium in the Burswood suburb of Perth, Western Australia. It was completed during late 2017 and officially opened on 21 January 2018. The stadium's total capacity is 61,266, including standing room, extendable to 65,000 seats for rectangular sports. It is the third-largest stadium in Australia (after the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Stadium Australia).
Perth Stadium is primarily used for Australian rules football and cricket. Perth's two Australian Football League (AFL) teams – the Fremantle Football Club and the West Coast Eagles – relocated their home games from Subiaco Oval to Perth Stadium, while the Perth Scorchers play their Big Bash League home games at the venue, having previously played at the WACA Ground.
Perth Stadium was built by a consortium led by Multiplex. The announcement of the Burswood location in June 2011 followed a series of earlier proposals for the stadium, including locations in Subiaco and East Perth.
