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 UEFA Conference 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.
