At which stadium was Arsenal’s 2026–27 Premier League opener played?

The story behind the answer

Arsenal’s 2026–27 Premier League opener was played at Emirates Stadium.

Emirates Stadium hosted Arsenal’s 3–0 victory over Coventry City on Friday, 21 August 2026. The venue in Holloway, north London, has been Arsenal’s home since the club moved from Highbury in 2006.

The match was selected as the season opener because it featured the defending champions against a newly promoted team. Arsenal had won the preceding Premier League title, while Coventry were returning to the division after 25 years away.

The stadium is one of the largest club grounds in the Premier League, with a listed capacity of 60,704 for the 2026–27 season. It should not be confused with Wembley Stadium, England’s national stadium, which is not Arsenal’s regular home ground.
