Before the stadium was built, the site for the stadium was used as a prison from 1949 to 1959, known as Detention Camp to incarcerate communists during Malayan Emergency period (Darurat in Malay).
The construction of the stadium started in January 1964 and completed by June 1965, with a maximum capacity of 10,000. Two following renovations increased the stadium capacity – 1975 (18,000) and 1993 (30,000).

Since the last refurbishment in 1997, the capacity of the stadium is 42,500 and it boasts a press box and a VIP-area which is normally used by the Sultan of Perak. The stadium features a FIFA standard football pitch and an IAAF-certified synthetic running track. The stadium also has monochromatic video matrix scoreboard.
The stadium has a notoriously problematic flood light system. Poor pitch conditions are also a norm at this stadium and coaches are known to have publicly voiced their discontent over this issue
The Perak Stadium underwent upgrades in preparation for the 2017 Malaysian Games, which included the replacement of running tracks, the installation of new spectator seats, and improved lighting. The project was estimated to cost between RM15 million and RM20 million.
In 2023, the Perak Stadium's floodlights were stolen twice.
