Ground facts
| Opened | Current stadium structure opened Jan 2013 (soft opening 25 Jan 2013, Saracens v Cardiff Blues; full opening 16 Feb 2013, Saracens v Exeter Chiefs) (The wider Copthall sports ground/athletics site predates this and has an older history as an athletics venue — 2013 is the date for the rebuilt stadium specifically, not the site's first use. London Broncos' 1993-95 rugby league tenancy (below) was therefore at the older, pre-2013 Copthall Stadium structure, not the current building.) |

Rugby league history
Predominantly known today as Saracens' rugby union home and an athletics venue. Its rugby league connection — London Broncos, 1993-95 — is a genuine but relatively minor historical chapter, predating the modern rebuilt stadium; no specific notable rugby league fixtures (finals, internationals) from that era were found. Also historically used by Kentish Town F.C. (football) and two athletics clubs, Barnet & District AC and Shaftesbury Barnet Harriers.
Primary tenant since 2013 is Saracens F.C. (rugby union); also an athletics venue.
