Arsenal Women go full Emirates for WSL

Arsenal Women have announced they will stage all 11 of their Women’s Super League home matches at Emirates Stadium in the 2025-26 season.

The Gunners had made the Emirates their main home last season, hosting nine WSL games there with an average attendance of 34,110.

The club has said they sold more than 415,000 tickets in the 2024-25 season, recording a 20% increase on the previous campaign. With their WSL home matches now set to be played at the Emirates, the club will introduce a season ticket for the stadium for the women’s team for the first time.

Arsenal, who became European champions in Lisbon last month, will start the defence of their UEFA Women’s Champions League title at Meadow Park, their longstanding home which will stage all of their league phase games in the competition’s new format.

Should they progress to the knockout stage, matches from that point onwards would be played at the 60,704-capacity Emirates.

All of Arsenal’s domestic cup home games will be played at Meadow Park in Borehamwood.

Aston Villa and Leicester City hosted all their home WSL games at their main club grounds last season. It was recently announced Goodison Park will become the home of Everton’s women next season.

Renee Slegers, Arsenal head coach, said, “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.”
