Fixtures released: Arsenal begin WSL season at home

The WSL fixtures for the 2025/26 season have been released and Arsenal will kick off their campaign at home against newly-promoted London City Lionesses.

The game will take place at 13:30 on 6 September and will also be shown live on the BBC.

Arsenal have already sold around 15,000 season tickets ahead of the new season, which will see the women’s team play all 11 of their WSL home games at the Emirates Stadium for the first time.

In the season’s standout fixtures, Arsenal will play champions Chelsea in north London on 8 November, with the reverse fixture to take place at Stamford Bridge on the weekend 25-26 January. The first north London derby of the season comes away from home on the weekend 16-17 November, with Arsenal hosting Tottenham on 29-30 March 2026.

The Gunners will end their campaign with a trip to Anfield to face Liverpool, with summer signings Taylor Hinds and Olivia Smith having to wait all season to return to their former club.

Below is the schedule in its entirety, with cup and European dates also highlighted, but please note fixtures are subject to change.
