PSV have played at the [[Philips Stadion]] since its foundation in 1913, when it was still named Philips Sportpark. The venue was built in the [[Strijp]] borough, and more specifically in the Philipsdorp area – a neighborhood set up in 1910 by [[Anton Philips]] in order to provide accommodation to employees. A football field was simultaneously laid out where PSV's predecessor, the Philips Elftal, played its first match on 15 January 1911 against Hollandia from [[Woensel]].<ref name="philipselftal"/><ref name="philipsdorp">{{cite web |title=Philipsdorp 100 jaar kwaliteit |url=http://www.nieman.nl/2013/04/philipsdorp-100-jaar-kwaliteit/ |publisher=Nieman |access-date=1 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150507221524/http://nieman.nl/2013/04/philipsdorp-100-jaar-kwaliteit/ |archive-date=7 May 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In 1916, the first wooden stand was built, providing seating space for 550 viewers.<ref name="stadiumspits">{{cite web |title=Hypermodern stadion dankzij betonrot |url=http://www.spitsnieuws.nl/archives/sport/2013/02/hypermodern-stadion-dankzij-betonrot |publisher=Spits |access-date=1 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130304061325/http://www.spitsnieuws.nl/archives/sport/2013/02/hypermodern-stadion-dankzij-betonrot |archive-date=4 March 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Another stand with 900 seats was built in the 1930s. In 1941, a running track was added, but it was removed 17 years later. During World War II, the stadium was damaged by the war; the reparations took place after the liberation of South Netherlands in 1944.

Four 40-meter high floodlights were installed in the stadium in 1958, making evening matches possible. The lights were inaugurated with an exhibition match against Anderlecht.<ref name="stadiumlight">{{cite web |title=De eerste lichtwedstrijd in het PSV-stadion |url=http://www.sportgeschiedenis.nl/2011/05/07/de-eerste-lichtwedstrijd-in-het-psv-stadion.aspx |publisher=Sportgeschiedenis |access-date=1 July 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150120053854/http://www.sportgeschiedenis.nl/2011/05/07/de-eerste-lichtwedstrijd-in-het-psv-stadion.aspx |archive-date=20 January 2015 }}</ref> In 1977, the main stand was completely rebuilt, but an [[alkali–silica reaction]] ten years later caused the concrete to crack. Chairman Jacques Ruts, who was previously introduced to the [[Luxury box|skybox]] in the United States, considered a new stand to be an opportunity to attract more sponsors. The new main stand – two tiers, with skyboxes in the middle – was introduced in a friendly match against Milan in 1988. In the nineties, the other three stands are also elevated. The last major renovation was the closing of the four open corners of the stadium. Along with creating more seats, the new corners had window blind-type constructions, which allowed air to flow through in order to let the grass breathe.<ref name="stadiumspits"/> The completion was celebrated in October 2002, with the capacity increased to 35,000.<ref name="2003season"/> In the summer of 2005, the club removed the tall fences around the pitch, replacing them with lower railings keeping the spectators off the grass. Unauthorized persons who invade the pitch will receive a €15,000 penalty and a ten-year-ban from visiting the ground.

The Philips Stadion has been awarded four out of five stars by the UEFA Stadium Rankings.<ref name="uefastadium">{{cite web |title=List of UEFA 4 Star Stadiums |url=http://www.worldstadiumdatabase.com/list-of-uefa-4-star-stadiums.htm |publisher=Sportgeschiedenis |access-date=1 July 2013 |archive-date=10 August 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130810115327/http://www.worldstadiumdatabase.com/list-of-uefa-4-star-stadiums.htm |url-status=live }}</ref> The ground hold several designated areas. The lower terraces on the East stand are considered the most popular location for most fans, but there are also separate areas for youngsters up to 16 years old, for the disabled and for away fans in the north-west upper corner. A stand named the "Family Corner" specifically serves children up to 12 and their parents. For business representatives, the stadium has business rooms and suites, totaling 1186 seats.<ref name="stadiummap">{{cite web |title=Plattegrond van het Philips Stadion |url=http://www.psv.nl/Kaartverkoop/Kaartverkoop/Seizoen-Club-Card/Stadionplattegrond.htm |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=1 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130718230721/http://www.psv.nl/Kaartverkoop/Kaartverkoop/Seizoen-Club-Card/Stadionplattegrond.htm |archive-date=18 July 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Besides football-related activities, the stadium holds merchandising stores, offices and three restaurants, including the Michelin-star assigned Avant-Garde.<ref name="stadiumenglish">{{cite web |title=Philips Stadium |url=http://www.psv.nl/Philips-Stadium.htm |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=1 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111204080437/http://www.psv.nl/Philips-Stadium.htm |archive-date=4 December 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> For the centennial celebrations, a PSV Museum was revealed in the stadium.<ref name="100celebration">{{cite web |title=PSV reveals 100th anniversary schedule |url=http://www.psv.nl/PSV-100-years/News-page/PSV-reveals-100th-anniversary-schedule.htm |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130701094958/http://www.psv.nl/PSV-100-years/News-page/PSV-reveals-100th-anniversary-schedule.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=1 July 2013 |publisher=PSV.nl |access-date=1 July 2013 }}</ref> Training sessions by PSV are conducted on De Herdgang, located in the outskirts of Eindhoven.
