The 2025/26 Premier League fixture list has been announced, and Arsenal fans will be looking for several key clashes.
After finishing second three seasons in a row, Mikel Arteta will be hungrier than ever to deliver the Premier League title to N5.
Arsenal haven’t won the league since Arsene Wenger’s Invincibles went the entire campaign unbeaten in 2003/04, but signs of improvement are certainly there.
Following years of being schooled by the Premier League’s ‘big six’, Arteta hasn’t seen his team lose to a team within that category in over two years.
Though the Premier League table over recent years will tell you otherwise, the big six are categorised as Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and, of course, Arsenal.
The big six clashes, including the North London Derby, are what fans will be eyeing from the 2025/26 schedule, so with that said, here are all of the key dates supporters need to know.
