Stadium
When the club first joined the Scottish Football League in 1931, it played its home matches at Powderhall. The pitch was only just wider than the minimum width of 50 yards due to the presence of a sprint track. Edinburgh City also played at City Park during its time in the SFL.
The present club initially played their home fixtures at the Saughton Enclosure, which is now home to Lothian Thistle, before switching to Paties Road, where Edinburgh United presently play. Edinburgh City then moved to City Park and then Fernieside. Edinburgh City moved to Meadowbank Stadium in 1996, which had been vacated by the move of Meadowbank Thistle to Livingston.
