Arsenal vs Real Madrid

Arsenal host Real Madrid at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, 9 December 2026, kicking off at 8pm, in matchday seven of the 2026/27 UEFA Champions League league phase. It's the standout home occasion of Arsenal's entire campaign, pitting last season's beaten finalists — who topped the league phase with a perfect record in 2025/26 — against 15-time European champions Real Madrid under José Mourinho. The two sides bring contrasting recent European fortunes to north London, with Arsenal chasing redemption after last season's final defeat and Real Madrid seeking a deep run of their own following three quarter-final exits in four seasons. With this ranking among the biggest fixtures of the entire league phase, seats for this clash are expected to be exceptionally hard to come by — book early to secure yours.
