Does Wembley Stadium have a roof?

The stadium does have a roof however it does not cover the full ceiling of the venue. As well as its standard roofing there is also a sliding panel but again this does not extend to cover the whole venue.

Will I be covered by Wembley Stadium’s roof if it rains?

It depends on where you are based in the stadium. If you are sat in the higher levels you may be ok as you are more covered by the roofing. However as there is no roofing over the pitch if you are standing for an event you won’t be covered.

Those who are sitting in the covered sections of the venue should note that they may still experience rain especially if it is falling at an angle or through wind.
