Brentford vs Arsenal kick-off time

Premier League - Premier League

Gtech Community Stadium

Brentford and Arsenal will kick off on 12 Feb 2026 at 20:00 GMT and 15:00 EST.

Match Preview 

Brentford have surged into form under head coach Keith Andrews, securing impressive away victories in their last two Premier League matches against Aston Villa and Newcastle United. 

Currently sitting seventh in the table with strong momentum and three points behind sixth-placed Liverpool, the Bees could make a major statement in their top-six (or even higher) push with a win over Arsenal.

However, Brentford face an Arsenal side in pursuit of a fifth consecutive victory across all competitions, fresh from their dominant home win over Sunderland last weekend. 

The Gunners sit atop the Premier League table with a three-point lead, and a triumph in the London derby at the Gtech Community Stadium would solidify Mikel Arteta's team's grip on first place.

Injuries, key stats

Arsenal will assess doubts over Bukayo Saka, Martin Ødegaard and Leandro Trossard ahead of the Brentford clash, with Mikel Merino and Max Dowman ruled out long-term, but there are no suspension issues for the Gunners. 

Meanwhile, Brentford are without the suspended Kevin Schade, while Josh Dasilva, Fábio Carvalho and Antoni Milambo are ruled out by injuries. Arsenal loanee Reiss Nelson is ineligible against his parent club.

Arsenal boast an impressive nine-match unbeaten record against Brentford, comprising seven victories and two draws.

Both sides have been in top form recently: Brentford have collected 20 points from their last 10 Premier League matches.

Arsenal, on the other hand, have amassed 23, and these are the two highest tallies in the division over that stretch.

Step-by-step VPN guide to watch Brentford vs Arsenal today

NordVPN

1. Download & Install: Sign up to ExpressVPN or another reputable VPN service (check out GOAL's guide here) and download the app on your device.
2. Connect to a Server: Open the app and select a server location where the match is being shown (e.g. if you are in the UK but want to watch a US stream, connect to a US server).
3. Clear Cache: Sometimes your browser holds onto your old location. Clear your cookies or refresh your browser to ensure the change takes effect.
4. Start Streaming: Go to your broadcaster's website and app and enjoy the game.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belong on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
