When is the Arsenal trophy parade? Start time and route to celebrate Premier League title | OneFootball

Gunners will celebrate domestic success the day after agonising Champions League final defeat

The Gunners last week ended a 22-year drought by winning their first league crown since 2004, after seeing off the fierce challenge of Manchester City. It sparked wild scenes outside the Emirates Stadium as fans celebrated, while at the club’s training ground players and staff had their own party.

A stunning season ended on a down note on Saturday as the Gunners were beaten in the Champions League final, losing on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain in heartbreaking fashion.

Arsenal trophy parade date, start time and route

Arsenal’s ‘Champions’ trophy parade will take place from 2pm BST on Sunday May 31, 2026, beginning on Holloway Road.

A route has now been confirmed by Arsenal, with the parade set to travel down Seven Sisters Road and follow Blackstock Road before turning onto Mount Grove Road, Green Lanes, Petherton Road, Beresford Road, Newington Green Road and Essex Road.

It will then turn onto Upper Street. There will be no trophy lift and the buses will not stop, in order to ensure that fans spread evenly across the route for safety reasons, while the club shop will be closed along with the Emirates Stadium, Drayton Park and the surrounding roads.

The Arsenal Supporters' Trust (AST) have claimed that the club and Metropolitan Police - who will deploy more than 500 officers to police the parade - are expecting at least 500,000 supporters to line the 9km-long route, with the possibility for more than a million people to turn up in total.

There will be four open-top buses in total, including a lead-off ‘Champions’ truck featuring DJs. The Arsenal players will be in the lead bus, with the men’s team staff to follow in a second and then another featuring the Arsenal Women’s squad, who will parade their FIFA Women's Champions Cup trophy.

The fourth bus will feature fans from Arsenal in the Community programmes plus other Arsenal staff who have been nominated for their outstanding contributions to the club.

“All of the buses will move continually along the route,” Arsenal said. “Wherever you choose to stand, you will have a similar experience to the rest of the route. We encourage supporters to spread out along the full route so that everyone can enjoy the celebrations safely.”

Fans have also been advised that the parade will not be visible from Hornsey Road, Benwell Road or Drayton Park, while there will be no toilet facilities along the route.

The parade, which should last for around two hours, takes place on Sunday because many of Arsenal’s World Cup-bound stars are due to be released to their respective international squads on Monday.

The start time for the parade means that many of those fans in Budapest for the final will likely miss out, unless they have managed to secure early return flights to get them back to London in time.
