About Workington AFC
Workington AFC, the Reds, play in the Northern Premier League Premier Division. Billy Barr is manager and signed a two-year extension to May 2029.
In 2026-27 the Reds play their home games at Derwent Park (the Fibrus Community Stadium), home of Workington Town RLFC. Town say the Reds join them there for the next two seasons. It is a ground-share: the two clubs stay separate.
Borough Park is being cleared for the Cumberland Sports Village, a shared 5,000-capacity stadium. BBC News reported on 27 May 2026 that plans were approved. On 7 August 2026 it reported that demolition began in May and that main construction is due in January 2027. Cumberland Council said on 15 October 2026 that enabling works had started, with about three months of work planned. No opening date has been confirmed.

Borough Park
BBC News reported demolition at Borough Park began in May, after the final home game of last season. Cumberland Council says enabling works started on 15 October 2026 (Story Contracting Ltd, about three months): security fencing, a construction compound, asbestos removal, utility diversions and removal of existing infrastructure.

The new ground
Cumberland Sports Village replaces Borough Park as a shared stadium for Workington AFC and Workington Town RLFC. Plans were approved in May 2026. An extra £4.5m from Cumbria Combined Authority lifted capacity from 3,700 to 5,000 and means all terraces are replaced. A reserved matters application for the 5,000-capacity stadium has been submitted.
-
When will it open?
Main construction is due to start in January 2027, according to BBC News. The original plan aimed for July 2027; Town said in April a new opening date would be confirmed. We have not found a confirmed opening date, so we are not printing one. The council is also seeking an operator for the stadium.

Merger?
No. The council describes a shared stadium for two separate clubs. Marra News has found no source for a merger of Workington AFC and Workington Town.
