It is the home ground for Coventry RFC (since its opening ) and Coventry Bears, (who moved there for the start of the 2004–05 season). It was formerly the home ground of the Coventry Jets, an American football team. The stadium will become the new home of Coventry United a non league football Club founded in 2013, the football club's men's and the women's sides will play home matches at the ground from the 2017–18 season.

As of spring 2017, the stadium is under consideration as the temporary home for Coventry City FC for at least the 2018-19 season (after their lease with the Ricoh Arena terminates in May 2018), but this will require substantial additional seating to accommodate the average crowds of approximately 9,000 regular fans.
