The Gunners are staying home. Arsenal will play all of their Barclays Women’s Super League matches at the Emirates Stadium for a second consecutive season. The announcement marks a continued commitment to the women’s team. A total of 13 league games will be played at the north London venue across the 2026/27 campaign.
Playing every home game at the main stadium is not standard for most women’s teams. Many clubs rotate between smaller grounds and their primary venues. Arsenal is choosing a different path. The Emirates will host every single WSL fixture. That consistency matters. Players can train with the same pitch dimensions. Fans know exactly where to show up.
The Barclays Women’s Super League is expanding next season. Two new clubs are joining. That means more games. Arsenal will host 13 matches instead of the usual 11. The Emirates will be busy. The schedule will be tighter. The club seems ready for the challenge.
This is not a one-year experiment. Arsenal played all WSL home games at the Emirates during the 2025/26 season. Attendance numbers justified the decision. The atmosphere proved electric. Young fans saw their heroes on the same pitch where the men play. That visibility is priceless. Now the club is doubling down.
Other clubs are watching. Chelsea has played big matches at Stamford Bridge but not every game. Manchester City uses the Academy Stadium. Arsenal is going all in. The message is clear: women’s football belongs at the main stadium, not a secondary venue.
Thirteen match days. Thirteen chances to fill the Emirates. Ticket prices have not been announced, but the club has pledged affordability. Season tickets for the women’s team are expected to sell quickly. The demand is there. The commitment is real.
Arsenal will play all Barclays Women’s Super League matches at the Emirates Stadium next season. That is 13 games. That is a statement. The women’s game is growing. Arsenal is choosing to grow with it, on the biggest stage they have. Other clubs will now have to answer: if Arsenal can do it, why can’t you?
