Hamilton is home to several sports venues which are used for professional and amateur sports. The largest venue in the city is Hamilton Stadium, an outdoor Canadian football and soccer stadium which was built in 2014 and seats approximately 24,000. The largest indoor venue is TD Coliseum, a multi-use arena with a capacity of 18,000.

Two new sports venues opened up in Hamilton, Ontario in 2007–08, both of which are on the McMaster University grounds. The first is the $23-million Ron Joyce Stadium, and the second is the $30-million David Braley Athletic Centre.

The 6,000-seat Ron Joyce Stadium is primarily a football stadium but is also used for soccer. Extensive renovations were also done to the gym at the Ivor Wynne Centre. Total cost of the upgrades was $54 million.
