A new application seeks to alter the licence for York Stadium Leisure Complex.

This includes reducing the current opening hours and the sale of alcohol from 2am to 11.30pm in all licensable areas.

The application was submitted to City of York Council on September 23, 2026, by Greenwich Leisure Limited.

They also propose introducing a 'Box Bar' within the stadium.

This is to offer more points of sale for alcohol, aiming to reduce queues at peak times and improve customer service.

The application also aims to allow alcohol sales during non-sporting events, such as when screens are used to show televised matches.

The public can view the licensing application register by arranging with the City of York Council Licensing Section.
