Each team will play six different opponents in the League Phase, two from Pot 1, two from Pot 2, and two from Pot 3. Three of those games will be at home, and three away.

The full fixture list with match dates and kick-off times will be confirmed on Saturday, September 20th, but Friday’s draw at least gives us Arsenal’s opponents and whether those opponents will be at home or away.

Let’s take a look at the draw, and the schedule for the competition in 2025/26.
