The Petrovsky Stadium (Russian: стадион «Петровский») is part of a sports complex that consists of a number of buildings, with the stadium being used mostly for football and sometimes athletics. The Grand Sport Arena of the Petrovsky Sport Complex was the home of Zenit Saint Petersburg until 2017 and Tosno in 2017–2018.
The complex also contains another football stadium, Minor Sport Arena (MSA). MSA of Petrovsky, as of 2022, was used by several teams that compete in lower professional leagues: Dynamo Saint Petersburg and Zenit-2 Saint Petersburg (selected matches).

The whole complex is located in the Petrograd region of central St. Petersburg on Petrovsky Island – an island in the Malaya Neva River connected to the adjacent Petrogradsky islands through Zhdanovsky bridge. The nearest metro station Sportivnaya is around 150 metres (490 ft) away from the stadium.
