Arsenal’s 2026/27 Premier League fixture list | News

We will kick off the 2026/27 Premier League season as defending champions by welcoming Coventry City to Emirates Stadium on the opening night.

The game against the newly-promoted side will take place on Friday, August 21 at 8pm UK to get the top-flight campaign underway with a bang, and will be shown live in the UK on Sky Sports.

Our first away game will be against Europa League winners Aston Villa, with our first London derby seeing Chelsea visit N5 at the start of September.

November will bring our first meeting with Manchester City, while December sees us head to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as part of an eight-game run of league matches played in the capital across the Christmas and New Year period.

The festive period will see us host Manchester United in a blockbuster fixture at the start of a key time in the calendar, followed by a Boxing Day trip to Crystal Palace and a short journey to Fulham to round off 2026.

Big games against Manchester City and Liverpool bookend January and February, while all three visits to the sides promoted from the Championship fall in the second half of the season, with us visiting Hull City for the first time since 2016 in January, while we’ll make a first-ever visit to the CBS Arena to face Coventry in April.

May kicks off with a home north London derby as one of three home games in the month, with our 38th and final fixture seeing us welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to Emirates Stadium.

FURTHER DETAILS

The only confirmed TV selection at this time is our opening day fixture against Coventry. Further broadcast amendments to August and September’s matches will be announced in due course.

Matches will also be moved to accommodate European fixtures for both ourselves in the Champions League and our opponents in other UEFA competitions. Bournemouth’s participation in the Europa League means that our game on Saturday, December 12 is set to move as they’ll be in action on the preceding Thursday.

Unless indicated otherwise, all Saturday matches will kick off at 3pm, while all midweek rounds are listed as taking place on a Wednesday at 8pm. Midweek matches moved for TV broadcasts will switch to either 7.30pm or 8.15pm.

The final day of the season on Sunday, May 30 will see all matches kick off at 4pm.
