The 2025–26 season will be the 140th season in the history of Arsenal Football Club and the club's 107th consecutive season in the top flight of English football. In addition to the domestic league, Arsenal will compete in the FA Cup, the EFL Cup and the UEFA Champions League. The season covers the period from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2026.
Review[]
Background[]
Arsenal's 2024–25 campaign was heavily affected by injuries and suspensions. The club did not sign any player in the winter transfer window, after sporting director Edu Gaspar suddenly resigned midway through the season.
The Gunners won twenty Premier League games in 2024–25, which was eight less than the previous campaign. They dropped 21 points from winning positions in the competition this season, their joint-worst record in a single campaign. Arsenal lost four Premier League matches this campaign – one less than the previous season. That represented their lowest loss total in a top-flight campaign since 2007–08. For a second consecutive season, they held the division's best defensive record, conceding a league-low 34 times. Arteta's side finished as Premier League runners-up for the third consecutive campaign.
Arsenal started their 21st Champions League season since 1992–93 in September 2024. They finished third in the league phase in January 2025 and bypassed February's play-off round to go straight to the last 16. The Gunners completed a 5–1 aggregate triumph over the reigning Champions League champions Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, reaching the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since 2008–09. After a 3–1 aggregate loss to French side Paris Saint-Germain, Arteta's side were eliminated from the Champions League at the semi-final stage.
Pre-season[]
On 6 June, the club announced that Brazilian defender Gabriel Magalhães had penned a new long-term contract.
First-team transfers (summer transfer window)[]
The Premier League summer transfer window runs from 1 June to 10 June (due to an exceptional registration period mandated by FIFA for the Club World Cup), and then between 16 June and 1 September 2025.
Arsenal confirmed on 4 June that they were to release twenty players, two of whom, Kieran Tierney and Jorginho, had made 144 and 79 appearances for the Gunners' first-team in all competitions respectively.
On 5 June, the club confirmed that Portuguese defender Nuno Tavares, who had spent the entire previous season on loan with Serie A side Lazio, joined the Italian team on a permanent transfer, for a previously agreed fee reported to be €9 million (£7.6 million).
It was announced on 9 June that Brazilian forward Marquinhos, who had been on loan at Série A side Cruzeiro since January 2025, joined the Brazilian club on a permanent transfer for a reported fee of £3.0 million.
On 1 July, the club confirmed that they had completed their first signing of the summer (and under new Sporting Director Andrea Berta) as 30-year-old Spanish goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga joined from London rivals Chelsea on a long-term deal. The goalkeeper had spent the past two seasons on loan at Real Madrid (where he won La Liga, the Supercopa de España and the UEFA Champions League) and Bournemouth. Arsenal activated a £5 million release clause in his Chelsea contract to complete the deal. Kepa became the seventeenth Spaniard to play for the club and remained, at the time of his signing, the most expensive goalkeeper ever purchased, after his £72 million move to Chelsea in 2018.
