Arsenal Premier League fixtures 2025-26 in full as Mikel Arteta handed nightmare start

Arsenal now know the sides they will be taking on in the 2025-26 Premier League season – and in what order they’ll face them. The Gunners found out their fixtures for the upcoming campaign on Wednesday.

And if they are to go one better than they have in the previous three campaigns and finally win the title then they’ll have to overcome a very tricky start to the season. Mikel Arteta’s side start the new campaign with a trip to Old Trafford to face Manchester United on 17 August – with the assumption being that the Red Devils will be much improved on last season’s dismal campaign.

Their first home game comes against newly-promoted Leeds United the following week. Then comes a mouthwatering trip to Anfield against champions Liverpool before three more clashes against teams who finished in last season’s top 10, two of whom are Champions League rivals: Nottingham Forest, Manchester City and Newcastle.

The much-anticipated first North London Derby of the season against Spurs takes place at home on 22 November – pending TV selection – with an away game against Chelsea to follow.

There is no Boxing day fixture for Arsenal this season as it stands, with a home game against Brighton set to come on December 27 – unless it is picked by Sky Sports and moved from the Saturday to Friday 26th. The Gunners then have another testing run shortly after New Year with Liverpool, Forest and Man Utd all to come between 7 and 24 January.

Another London double header is scheduled in mid-February with an away game against Spurs and a home game against Chelsea scheduled for 21 and 28 February respectively. Meanwhile, former title rivals City lie in wait at the Etihad on 18 April.
