TenantArsenal FC

Arsenal moved from Highbury to the Emirates Stadium in 2006, doubling their matchday capacity in the process. Two decades on, it remains one of the largest and best-utilised club grounds in Europe, with consistently high attendance, regular Champions League nights and a strong concert and corporate event calendar in the summer.

What happens here

  • Arsenal Premier League and European home matches.
  • Arsenal Women’s Champions League and select WSL matches.
  • Pre-season Emirates Cup tournaments.
  • Concerts and large-format events in the summer.
