How the warm-ups are going
The friendly results so far, before the league gets going. It steps aside once the real games begin on 21 August.
Arsenal are back, and the new season starts at the Emirates.
Arsenal are the reigning Premier League champions after ending a 22-year league-title drought in 2025/26 under Mikel Arteta. Martin Odegaard stays on as club captain and Viktor Gyokeres leads the line, and the Gunners open their title defence at home to newly promoted Coventry City on Friday 21 August.
How the title was won in 2025/26
Arsenal finished top of the Premier League with 85 points, their first league title since 2003/04 and their fourth of the Premier League era. Here is the season in numbers.
The 2026/27 season has not kicked off yet, so every "this season" number across the hub is still zero. We will update the tables once the opening whistle goes on 21 August.

Matchday at Emirates Stadium
Everything for a home game: getting a ticket, the ground itself, getting there and parking, and where to eat and drink around it. For away days, the travel planner is further down.
Getting a ticket at the Emirates
Home games at the Emirates are in high demand and most seats go to season-ticket holders and members, so membership is usually the route in. We do not sell tickets or list prices here. Always buy through the club or an official channel, and be wary of unofficial resale.
Match tickets
For any tickets that reach general sale, availability is limited and often sells quickly after members have had their window. The official tickets page is where to see what is on sale, join a waiting list and read the current terms.
Official tickets pageArsenal membership
A club membership is the usual way in for supporters without a season ticket, giving access to ticket sales and priority in the queue ahead of any general release. The membership page sets out the options and what each one includes.
Membership optionsMatchday hospitality
Official hospitality packages offer premium seating with food and drink included, sold directly by the club. Prices and what is included vary by fixture and lounge, so the official hospitality pages are the place to see current options.
Hospitality at the EmiratesTicket Exchange
Arsenal run an official Ticket Exchange that lets season-ticket holders and members resell seats they cannot use, and lets other members buy them safely at face value. It is the only resale route the club endorses, and you reach it through the official tickets pages.
Find Ticket ExchangeGetting to the ground and parking
The Emirates sits in Holloway in north London and is very well served by public transport, which the club recommends on a matchday. Driving and parking are a different matter, as the streets around the ground are tightly restricted on match days.
Nearest stations
Arsenal station on the Piccadilly line is the closest, a couple of minutes from the ground, with Holloway Road on the same line nearby. Finsbury Park and Highbury and Islington are both a short walk and are served by the Victoria line, the Overground and National Rail, which helps spread the crowds after the final whistle.
Plan a journey with TfLDriving and parking
Matchday parking around the Emirates is very limited and the surrounding streets fall under a controlled parking zone with event-day restrictions, so parking on the street near the ground is not realistic for most visitors. If you must drive, book an official or pre-booked space in advance, but public transport is by far the easier option.
Book train tickets
Advance singles and returns to the ground on Trainline, usually cheaper the earlier you book.
BookCheck train times
Live times, platforms and any disruption on the day through National Rail.
CheckPre-book parking
Reserve a space near Emirates Stadium on JustPark, the safest bet with matchday restrictions in force.

Away tickets go through Arsenal to registered members, so buy through the club to be in the away end. Sign up early for the popular ones.
