Which stadium hosted Arsenal’s 3–0 win over Coventry City in the 2026–27 opener?

Emirates Stadium hosted Arsenal’s 3–0 win over Coventry City in the 2026–27 Premier League opener.

The match was played on Friday, 21 August 2026, and served as the first fixture of the new Premier League season. Arsenal, the defending champions, opened their title defence at home against newly promoted Coventry City.

Arsenal’s victory gave them three points and a plus-three goal difference. The result also made Emirates Stadium the first Premier League venue used in the 2026–27 campaign. Coventry’s return to the top flight began with an away defeat after their promotion from the Championship.

The stadium is Arsenal’s home ground in Holloway, north London. It replaced Highbury as the club’s main stadium in 2006 and has hosted Arsenal’s Premier League fixtures since then. The opening-round match therefore combined the champions’ first title-defence fixture with the league’s newest season.
