Stadion Miejski w Bielsku-Białej[1] (English: Bielsko-Biała Municipal Stadium) is a football stadium in Bielsko-Biała, Poland. It is the home ground of Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała (since 1999) and BKS Stal Bielsko-Biała.

The stadium is also known as the Stadion Podbeskidzia Bielsko-Biała (English: Podbeskidzie Bielsko-Biała Stadium) in connection with its most common host. Sometimes the stadium is called Stadion BBOSiR (English: BBOSiR Stadium) after the facility operator, but in fact the above-mentioned name refers to the stadium at ul. Młyńska 52 in Bielsko-Biała.[3]
