Jumpers for Goalposts: Live at Wembley Stadium is a home video by English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran, released on Blu-ray on 13 November 2015.[1] It features the footage taken from Sheeran's x Tour, when he became the first solo artist to take the stage (without a band) at Wembley Stadium in London and played across three sold out nights to a crowd of 240,000 people.[1] Jumpers for Goalposts: Live at Wembley Stadium features performances of hits like "The A Team", "Sing" or "Thinking Out Loud".[1] Sir Elton John duets with Sheeran on two songs.[1]

The title “Jumpers for Goalposts” alludes to street/park football in the UK, a practice where jumpers would be placed on the ground and used as goalposts, a nod from Sheeran playing the concerts at Wembley Stadium, the home of English football.[2] Aside from the live performances, Jumpers for Goalposts: Live at Wembley Stadium gives viewers an insight into life backstage on the road with Sheeran.[1] Simultaneously, Jumpers for Goalposts: Live at Wembley Stadium was released on DVD as part of the re-release of Sheeran's 2014 x album.[1] This CD/DVD combo titled x (Wembley Edition) also includes five new tracks on the CD portion.[1]
