What to expect from Arsenal in the Champions League 2026?
The Gunners remain competitive on all fronts this season. While FA Cup and League Cup triumphs would be celebrated in the red side of North London, it’s the Champions League and Premier League trophies that remain the major targets. Amazingly, it’s been 22 years since Arsene Wenger’s ‘Invincibles’ reigned supreme as English champions. Even more surprisingly, Arsenal have only lifted two European trophies in their history, the Fairs Cup in 1970 and the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1994. That’s 36 years of continental anguish.
In terms of Champions League success, the closest the Gunners have got to getting their hands on the prestigious trophy came in 2006. Despite being down to 10 men in the final against Barcelona at the Stade de France, after keeper Jens Lehmann was red-carded, the Reds took a shock lead when Sol Campbell headed home. Arsenal dug deep, but a late Barca surge saw them score two goals in the space of five minutes to take the crown.
Under Arteta, Arsenal have been building momentum in the Champions League in recent campaigns. After a six-year absence from the biggest football competition on the continent, they would reach the quarter-finals during the 2023/24 season. They progressed a round further last season, getting knocked out by the eventual winners, Paris Saint-Germain, in the semi-finals.
The Gunners are now looking to build further on those solid European foundations laid down. As well as dominating on the domestic front this season and claiming a healthy lead at the top of the Premier League, they’ve also delivered the goods in the Champions League. Arsenal top the league phase standings, after winning all six of their matches to date, and remain the only unbeaten side in the competition.
How to buy Arsenal Champions League tickets?
Buying Arsenal tickets directly from the club is notoriously difficult, as they rarely ever go on sale to non-members.
Arsenal switched to a ballot system in 2022, so there is no traditional sales period in which tickets can sell out quickly. Members have to enter a ballot, which opens around 6-8 weeks before a match and remains open for around 4 days, if hoping to purchase Arsenal match tickets. These are almost always over-subscribed, so it is a lottery with low odds.
During the 2024/25 season, the average success rate for ordinary Red Members in the ballots was just 9%.
While the official club portal is the safest way for supporters to purchase Arsenal tickets, those looking to attend a Champions League match may wish to consider secondary sites such as StubHub, which could give them the best opportunity of obtaining tickets.
