The club have had three main grounds in their history; as Ferranti Thistle, the club initially played in local parks before finding a home at City Park in Edinburgh in 1969. before moving to Meadowbank Stadium in 1973 which was built for the 1970 Commonwealth Games.
Livingston currently play their home games at Almondvale Stadium in Livingston. It is currently known as the Braidwood Motor Company Stadium due to a sponsorship deal. The stadium opened in 1995 and is an all seater with a capacity of 10,016. In April 2011 it was revealed that it was possible Livingston would relocate to a new stadium around one mile from the current site due to West Lothian Council looking to sell the current site to a supermarket chain.
The ground has hosted Scotland U21s, U19s, U17s and Ladies matches. As well as one home game for Gretna due to problems with their ground share at Fir Park.
