Perth Stadium (known under naming rights as Optus Stadium) is a stadium located in the Perth suburb of Burswood. It is primarily used for Australian rules football and cricket as the home ground of the West Coast Eagles and the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL) and the Perth Scorchers in the Big Bash League (BBL).
The stadium was built by a consortium led by Multiplex. The announcement of the Burswood location in June 2011 followed a series of earlier proposals for the stadium, including locations in Subiaco and East Perth. It was completed during late 2017 and officially opened on 21 January 2018.
Perth Stadium's total capacity is 61,266, including standing room, extendable to 65,000 seats for rectangular sports. It is the third-largest stadium in Australia (after the Melbourne Cricket Ground and Stadium Australia).
