The match continues to be carried out under the Government’s Plan B protocols, which makes it a legal requirement for supporters to show an NHS Covid pass or recent negative lateral flow test result before entering the stadium, otherwise they will be denied entry.
Ahead of the 3pm kick-off, here is everything the 30,000 supporters who are attending the match need to know before arriving at the stadium.
Covid protocol and Code of Conduct
To allow supporters to return to Molineux at full capacity, the club has published a supporter’s code of conduct in line with Government advice and Premier League protocol.
This code of conduct is likely to be in place for the foreseeable future and must be followed by all supporters attending Molineux.
The full code of conduct can be viewed here and FAQs relating to the code of conduct can be found here.
- Please do not travel to the stadium if you or anyone else you are attending with has any Covid-19 symptoms. We strongly recommend that supporters make use of widely available testing 48 hours before the game.
- Please wear a face covering when in indoor or crowded areas of the stadium other than when eating or drinking or where exempt. Following the update from the Government on 15th December, it is now a legal requirement to do so.
- Please use hand sanitisers located around the stadium regularly.
- Arrive early and sit in your designated seat.

Covid status spot checks and Covid pass
Following the Government’s move to Plan B, it is now a legal requirement for supporters who attend Premier League matches to show an NHS Covid Pass or recent negative lateral flow test result before entering the stadium, otherwise they will be denied entry. All fans aged 18 or over will also be required to pre-register their Covid status ahead of arriving at the stadium.
Supporters who have previously completed the declaration are not required to complete it again. But if you have not already done so, click HERE to pre-register your Covid status ahead of arriving at the stadium.
It is now a mandatory and legal requirement for all adult supporters to declare they are symptom free and have certification that demonstrates they are any one of the following:
- Fully vaccinated (at least TWO doses of Covid vaccine demonstrated in a Covid pass)
- Able to provide evidence of a negative lateral flow test in the 48 hours preceding the match, either in an NHS Covid pass or other acceptable methods (detailed below)
- Able to provide valid evidence of a medical exemption (see below for further information)
All supporters aged 18 years or over must have a valid NHS Covid pass or an alternative proof of a negative test result to gain entry into the stadium.
Random checks will take place at Molineux and there will be a team of Covid status spot checkers operating at designated points around the stadium who will be identifiable by a purple high-vis tabard and supported by stewards.
Fans MUST be prepared to present their valid Covid status evidence to a team member, prior to entering the stadium and will be denied entry if unable to show their NHS Covid pass or proof of a negative lateral flow test within the previous 48 hours, ideally on matchday. It is advised that supporters arrive early to allow time for these checks to take place prior to kick-off.
