Answer
Emirates Stadium
Arsenal versus Coventry City was played at Emirates Stadium during the 2026–27 Premier League opening weekend.
The match took place in Holloway, London, and was Arsenal’s first league game of the new season. Emirates Stadium has been Arsenal’s home since the club moved from Highbury in 2006. The stadium’s listed capacity for the 2026–27 season was 60,704.
Arsenal hosted Coventry because the fixture list began with the defending champions at home. Coventry City were one of three promoted clubs in the new Premier League season, alongside Ipswich Town and Hull City. Arsenal won the opening match 3–0, but the venue is distinct from the club’s training ground and from Wembley Stadium, which is used for major national and cup fixtures.
