Arsenal have officially announced their 2025 pre-season schedule, with a high-profile Asian tour set to sharpen Mikel Arteta’s squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League campaign. The tour will take the Gunners to Singapore and Hong Kong, where they’ll face top-level opponents—including a historic overseas North London Derby.
This pre-season marks a crucial period for Arsenal, who finished strongly in the 2024–25 season and will look to build momentum before the league resumes in August.
Date | Game | Kick-off | Venue |
---|---|---|---|
July 23, 2025 | Arsenal vs AC Milan | 7:30 pm SGT (12:30 pm BST) | National Stadium, Singapore |
July 27, 2025 | Arsenal vs Newcastle United | 7:30 pm SGT (12:30 pm BST) | National Stadium, Singapore |
July 31, 2025 | Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur | 7:30 pm SGT (12:30 pm BST) | Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong |
The headline fixture is undoubtedly the July 31 clash with Spurs, which will be the first-ever North London Derby played outside the UK—a historic moment for the club and its global fanbase.
Additional home-based friendlies, such as the Emirates Cup, are expected to be announced soon on Arsenal’s official website.
For any home pre-season matches, members will again receive early access before general sale.
These streams are typically available globally, with post-match highlights and full-match replays uploaded shortly after.
This year’s pre-season is more than just warm-up matches—it’s a strategic preparation period. With Arsenal pushing for silverware in both domestic and European competitions, the squad’s performance in Asia will give fans an early glimpse of new signings, tactical shifts, and emerging talent from the academy.
The global tour also helps deepen the club's connection with its international fanbase, especially across Asia—a region where Arsenal enjoys massive support.
