Gooners around the world will be poring over the list of games trying to plan their movements and trips across the next 12 months, so to help you, we’ve pulled together a month-by-month guide to the action, including all our cup competitions and the international breaks.

SEPTEMBER

We open the season away to Brighton & Hove Albion, looking to set the record straight agianst the Seagulls following last season’s 1-1 draw at Broadfield Stadium.

Our first home game of the season at Emirates Stadium will be against newly-promoted Crystal Palace, before we host Manchester United in a big clash the following week.

The UEFA Women’s Champions League league phase is set to kick-off on Tuesday, September 22, with the second matchday scheduled for Tuesday, September 30, or Wednesday, October 1.

In the WSL we’ll then round off September with a trip to Stamford Bridge to take on one of our biggest league rivals in Chelsea.

6: Brighton & Hove Albion (A)

13: Crystal Palace (H)

22: UWCL MD 1

27: Chelsea (A)

30 Sep/1 Oct: UWCL MD 2

OCTOBER

October begins with a trip up north to take on another one of our title rivals - last season’s champions Manchester City.

After the first international break of the season, we’ll be back in action at home to newly-promoted Birmingham City, before playing the first north London derby of the campaign away from home.

There will be more midweek Champions League football towards the end of the month, followed by the visit of Aston Villa in the WSL.

NOVEMBER

Back up north we go to Anfield to take on Liverpool in early November, before entering the second half of the Champions League league phase.

London City Lionesses travel to N5 for our WSL encounter with them in the middle of the month, and we’ll be back at Emirates Stadium again the following weekend against West Ham United.

Then, more Champions League football, and another international break.

DECEMBER

It could be a chilly trip to Goodison Park for our penultimate WSL game before Christmas.

On December 16 we’ll wrap up the Champions League group phase, hopefully finishing high enough to advance through to the knockout stages.

Our final game of 2026 is away to newly-promoted Charlton Athletic on the weekend before Christmas.

12/13: Everton (A)

16: UWCL MD 6

19/20: Charlton Athletic (A)

JANUARY

WSL action returns to Emirates Stadium for the first time in 2027 against Brighton, the reverse fixture of our opening game of the season.

We then enter the Adobe Women’s FA Cup at the fourth round on Sunday, January 17, before hosting Liverpool in the league at home.

Then we’re off to Bromley to face London City Lionesses, before a big one at home to Manchester City at the end of the month.

Should we be involved in them, the first and second legs of the Champions League knockout phase play-offs will take place in February.

We will also travel to St. Andrews Stadium following Birmingham’s promotion to the division, and head over to Sutton United where we’ll meet Crystal Palace.

The month comes to an end with the fifth round of the FA Cup, and the February to March international break.

3/4: UWCL knockout phase play-off first leg

6/7: Birmingham City (A)

10/11: UWCL knockout phase play-off second leg

13/14: Crystal Palace (A)

23 Feb - 6 Mar: International break

MARCH

There’s no better way to return from international duty than with a north London derby at Emirates Stadium! That’s what we’ve got to look forward to in mid-March.

Villa Park beckons the following midweek, and then it’s onto the FA Cup quarter-final and Champions League quarter-final first leg.

March could be pivotal as we host Chelsea in the WSL towards the end of the month, followed by the Champions League quarter-final second leg.

13/14: Tottenham Hotspur (H)

17: Aston Villa (A)

21: Women’s FA Cup quarter-final

23/24: UWCL quarter-final first leg

27/28: Chelsea (H)

31 March/1 April: UWCL quarter-final second leg

APRIL

April is set to be a quieter month for us. We’ll begin it at home to Everton and hopefully we’ll have an FA Cup semi-final to look forward to as well.

Then our players depart for the final international break of the season before our next set of matches in May.

3/4: Everton (H)

11: Women’s FA Cup semi-final

13-24 Apr: International break

MAY

The business end could be a busy one, should we be involved in the latter stages of cup competitions.

The Champions League semi-finals are currently set for May 1 and May 8, so our WSL matches with West Ham United and Manchester United will have to move if we’re UWCL semi-finalists.

Either way, the Women’s FA Cup final will be at Wembley Stadium on May 15, followed by the final WSL weekend, in which we host Charlton Athletic.

The Champions League final takes place on May 29 this season.

1: UWCL semi-final first leg

1/2: West Ham United (A)

8: UWCL semi-final second leg
