Today's game between Arsenal and Lille will kick off at Oct 13, 2026, 3:00 p.m..
Arsenal vs Lille is available to watch live via Fubo and DAZN. Details of how to access the match through those platforms are listed below.
Arsenal host Lille at Emirates Stadium in the UEFA Champions League, with Mikel Arteta's side looking to build on a positive run of results in European competition this season.
The fixture carries a particular emotional charge. Lille manager Davide Ancelotti brings a squad to north London that includes familiar faces for the Arsenal faithful, and Arteta himself has spoken warmly about the occasion ahead of the game.
Arsenal arrive into the match having beaten Leeds United 2-1 in the Premier League on October 10, a result that steadied the mood after a heavy defeat to Brighton earlier in the campaign. Bruno Guimaraes has been a standout presence in midfield, and his goal against Leeds underlined the impact he has made since joining the club.
Lille come into the contest in reasonable shape, winning their most recent Ligue 1 fixture 1-0 against Le Havre. Their Champions League form has been more difficult, however, and they sit in a position in the table that demands points from matches like this one.
Arteta has been dealt injury problems in the build-up, losing both Piero Hincapié and Martín Zubimendi to ankle issues. William Saliba has returned to training, which provides some relief, though the defender is listed as injured for this fixture.
For Lille, the match is further complicated by the absence of Ethan Mbappe through suspension, while Hamza Igamane also misses out through injury.

In the Champions League table, Arsenal currently sit in a position that places them outside the automatic qualification spots, while Lille are placed lower still, meaning both clubs have work to do if they are to progress comfortably through the league phase. A win here would carry real weight for either side's European ambitions.
