San Siro does not yet have a single, fixed calendar date for demolition, but current plans aim for demolition to start around 2031 and run through about May 2032 as part of a wider stadium redevelopment project.

What is officially planned?

  • AC Milan and Inter completed the purchase of San Siro (Stadio Giuseppe Meazza) from the city in late 2025 and confirmed their intention to demolish the current stadium and build a new arena in its place.
  • The new stadium is being planned to be ready in time to host matches at Euro 2032, which Italy will co‑host with Turkey, so the demolition timeline is tied to that target.

Indicative demolition timeline

Several detailed timelines and reports line up roughly as follows:

  • A roadmap published in late 2025 describes:
    • Public tender for demolition from about October 2030 to March 2031.
* Demolition and partial conservation of San Siro from April 2031 to May 2032 (about 14 months).
  • Other reporting notes that San Siro will keep operating for some years yet:
    • It is still due to host the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Milan.
* The current stadium will only be dismantled once the new one is completed nearby, so the clubs do not have to move out during construction.

In simple terms, demolition is not imminent: the stadium is expected to stand through at least the 2026 Winter Olympics, with actual demolition works currently pencilled in to begin around 2031 and finish by mid‑2032, assuming the project proceeds on schedule.

Why there is still some uncertainty

  • Some aspects depend on planning approvals, tenders, and possible legal or heritage challenges, which could still affect exact dates.
  • Designs for the new stadium are only scheduled to be fully published in the first half of 2026, and no official final completion date for the whole project has been set, just the Euro 2032 target.

So when people ask “when is the San Siro getting demolished?”, the most accurate current answer is: planning points to demolition starting around 2031 and finishing by about May 2032, but exact dates can still change as the project advances.
