The 2025/26 Premier League season is fast approaching, and Arsenal fans will already be eyeing their fixture list with cautious optimism.

After narrowly missing out on the  Premier League title last season, Mikel Arteta’s side will aim to do better this season and finally lift their first league trophy in over two decades.

Of all the teams in the top six. Arsenal have one of the hardest opening fixtures in the 2025/26 Premier League Season, just behind Manchester United.

The Gunners will face Manchester United in the opening game of the season before hosting newly-promoted Leeds at the Emirates. Arsenal will then travel to Anfield to play defending Champions Liverpool on the 30th of August.

Arsenal continue this tough run in September as they play Nottingham Forest, Manchester City, and Newcastle. The Gunners will have to dig deep and show that they can weather this storm. This tough start could also affect their title ambitions and set the tone for their entire campaign. 

Other key dates that Arsenal fans will mark in their calendars in the derbies with Tottenham and Chelsea, which will take place on the 22nd and 29th of November. The Gunners host Tottenham Hotspur at home before travelling the next week to Stamford Bridge to play Chelsea.
