At which stadium did Arsenal open the 2026–27 Premier League weekend against Coventry City?

Arsenal opened the 2026–27 Premier League weekend against Coventry City at Emirates Stadium.

The match took place at Arsenal’s home ground in Holloway, north London. Emirates Stadium replaced Highbury as Arsenal’s home in 2006 and has remained the club’s principal football venue since then.

Arsenal began the campaign as defending Premier League champions, while Coventry City returned to the top flight after a 25-year absence. The fixture therefore paired the reigning champions with one of the season’s newly promoted clubs.

A common mix-up is calling the stadium Highbury, because Highbury was Arsenal’s historic home and is still closely associated with the club. However, Premier League matches in the 2026–27 season were played at Emirates Stadium, not the former Highbury ground.
