The Heliodoro Rodríguez López, home to CD Tenerife, is positioned as the sixth largest stadium in the 2026/2027 Second Division, boasting a capacity of 22,824 spectators.

CD Tenerife returns to the Second Division, and so does its stadium, the Heliodoro Rodríguez López, one of the category's most historic venues with 101 years of history. Originally inaugurated as Stadium on July 25, 1925, only El Molinón of Sporting, dating back to 1908, is older. At the other end of the spectrum is the stadium of the Andorran Football Federation, which opened in May 2025.
In terms of capacity, the Tenerife stadium ranks among the top ten in LaLiga Hypermotion. The ranking can fluctuate if the reserve teams of Real Sociedad B and Celta Fortuna opt to use their main stadiums, Anoeta (39,313 spectators) and Balaídos (24,870 before renovations), respectively, instead of their training facilities. Excluding these two variables, the Heliodoro moves up to sixth place.
The stadiums with the largest capacities in the silver category, excluding the aforementioned reserve teams, are Gran Canaria (32,400), Carlos Tartiere (30,500), El Molinón (29,371), José Zorrilla (27,618), and Son Moix (25,736), belonging to UD Las Palmas, Real Oviedo, Sporting, Real Valladolid, and RCD Mallorca.
Following the Heliodoro Rodríguez López (22,824 spectators), are the Arcángel in Córdoba (21,950) and Ramón de Carranza in Cádiz (20,724). Most other stadiums have a capacity below 20,000 seats. Even stadiums like Montilivi (14,624), which hosted Champions League matches, have smaller capacities.
Other venues with capacities exceeding 10,000 seats include Los Cármenes (19,224), the UD Almería Stadium (18,331), Carlos Belmonte in Albacete (16,998), Castalia (15,500), Butarque (14,422), El Plantío (11,380), and the Nova Creu Alta (11,908).
The stadiums with the smallest capacities, under 10,000 seats, are Ipurua (8,164), Alfonso Murube in Ceuta (6,500), Pepico Amat (5,776), and the stadium of the Andorran Football Federation (5,108), the latter being the smallest in the category.
