The latest Arsenal fixtures for the 2026/27 Premier League season

The 2026/27 Premier League first-leg fixtures kick off a demanding journey, with Arsenal as champions needing to take on a series of difficult rivals.

Arsenal will begin their title defense campaign in the 2026/27 Premier League by hosting Coventry City at the Emirates on August 21. Right after the opener, the schedule quickly intensifies as the Gunners successively face Aston Villa and Chelsea.

Arsenal's First 19 Matchday Fixtures

The first 19 rounds contain several periods of significantly congested fixtures. From October, Arsenal will have to constantly rotate between the Premier League and Champions League, while the Carabao Cup could also midweek if the Gunners advance. Notably, the Champions League matchdays on October 13-14, 20-21, November 3-4, and 24-25 fall close to games against Nottingham Forest, Everton, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Man City.

The toughest run could come from late October to early December. Arsenal must travel to Anfield, then to Newcastle's ground before returning to the Emirates to host Man City. Shortly after is the North London derby at Tottenham's stadium, while Man Utd will visit the Emirates on December 19. This period could heavily impact Arsenal's position in the title race.

The second half of the season unveils a remarkable series of big clashes from late January. Arsenal must travel to Man City on January 30, then host Liverpool at the Emirates a week later. Subsequently, the Gunners also have to visit Man Utd and Chelsea in February and March.

Pressure could increase if Arsenal advance deep in the Champions League, FA Cup, and Carabao Cup. In the crunch stage, the North London derby against Tottenham at the Emirates on May 1 is the biggest highlight, before Arsenal face Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Everton, and Brighton in the final four rounds respectively.

Note: The fixtures may be further adjusted depending on TV schedules, the Champions League, and domestic cup competitions.
