Arsenal to stage all WSL games at the Emirates for the first time | OneFootball

European champions Arsenal will stage all 11 of their home Barclays Women’s Super League fixtures at the Emirates Stadium for the first time in 2025/2026.

WSL Full-Time were informed of the news via an official club press release from The Gunners this morning.

Arsenal have been gradually increasing the number of home league games staged at their traditional home each season. The North Londoners played nine of their 11 home league games in N5 this season, the highest number so far. Arsenal’s home league attendances in 2024/2025 averaged out at 34,110 while their highest attendance of 56,748 was recorded for the club’s North London Derby clash against Spurs.

It is fair to say that Arsenal are by far the best-supported side in the Barclays Women’s Super League and the club have deemed it to be the right time to make the Emirates Stadium the venue for all home league fixtures. Any UEFA Women’s Champions League knockout round fixtures will also take place in N5.

Speaking following this morning’s announcement, Arsenal boss Renée Slegers said “I’m so proud of the journey we’ve been on with our supporters this season. From Boreham Wood to the Emirates, on the road to every WSL and European destination we visited, and of course all the way to Lisbon, they’ve shown up and we’ve fuelled each other to an historic season for our club.

“For us, this is just the beginning, and bringing every WSL match to the Emirates is another step for more supporters to be part of this special journey. We’ll come back next season, with fire in our hearts, more determined, more ambitious, and more together than ever.”

Arsenal will continue to use the Mangata Pay UK Stadium Meadow Park in Boreham Wood for domestic cup fixtures and UEFA Women’s Champions League matches in the League Phase.
