Where was Arsenal's 2026–27 Premier League opener against Coventry City played?

Arsenal's 2026–27 Premier League opener against Coventry City was played at Emirates Stadium.

The fixture was scheduled for Friday 21 August 2026, with Arsenal beginning their title defence at home. Arsenal entered the campaign as defending champions, while Coventry City were newly promoted to the top flight.

Emirates Stadium is Arsenal's home ground in Holloway, north London. It opened in 2006, replacing Highbury as the club's main stadium. The venue is named after the airline Emirates, which has had a long-running commercial partnership with Arsenal.

The match was also the season's opening game, making the stadium the first Premier League venue to host competitive action in 2026–27. A common mix-up is confusing Emirates Stadium with Wembley Stadium, England's national stadium, which is not Arsenal's regular home.
