Which stadium hosted Arsenal versus Coventry City in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round?

The Emirates Stadium hosted Arsenal versus Coventry City in the 2026–27 Premier League opening round.

Arsenal began the season at home on Friday 21 August 2026, welcoming newly promoted Coventry City. The match was the campaign’s first Premier League fixture and was scheduled for a 20:00 BST kick-off.

The Emirates Stadium has been Arsenal’s home since 2006, when the club moved from Highbury. That distinction matters because Highbury is a common mix-up in historical questions about Arsenal, but it was no longer the club’s home for this match. The stadium is located in Holloway, London, and has a listed capacity of 60,704 for the season.

Arsenal won the match 3–0, beginning their title defence with three points. Coventry’s appearance was notable because the club had returned to the Premier League after a 25-year absence.
