Arsenal begin their 2026-27 pre-season campaign with a trip to Spain, where they will face Segunda Division side Girona at Estadi Montilivi on Saturday, August 1.
Following a historic 2025-26 season that ended the club's 22-year wait for the Premier League title, Mikel Arteta's side also reached the EFL Cup and Champions League finals, losing 2-0 to Manchester City in the former before suffering a penalty-shootout defeat to Paris Saint-Germain after a 1-1 draw in the latter.
Arsenal have already started reshaping the squad ahead of another campaign competing on multiple fronts, with Kepa Arrizabalaga's future at the club remaining uncertain this summer and Illan Meslier arriving on a free transfer from Leeds United as a backup goalkeeper.
Leandro Trossard is also closing in on a move to Besiktas, with a €20m (£17.1m) fee agreed upon between the clubs — though personal terms are still being finalised — leaving the North London outfit in the market for a new left winger.
Meanwhile, Bruno Guimaraes and Ayoub Bouaddi have both been linked with moves to the Emirates as Arteta looks to add depth alongside Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi in midfield.
The fixture marks Arsenal's first return to Estadi Montilivi since facing Girona in the Champions League in January 2025, and it begins a pre-season schedule that also includes a trip to Dublin, two Emirates Cup fixtures and the Community Shield before the Gunners open their Premier League campaign at the Emirates Stadium against Coventry City
For supporters planning to make the journey, here is everything you need to know about buying tickets for Arsenal's visit to Girona.

Kick-off: 7:00pm UK time
Venue: Estadi Montilivi, Girona (capacity: approximately 13,500)
How to get tickets for Girona vs Arsenal
Tickets for the match are being sold directly through Girona rather than Arsenal's ticketing channels, so supporters should purchase them via the Spanish club's official website.
Official tickets:
Girona have advised supporters to buy tickets only through their official channels, warning that the club cannot take responsibility for tickets purchased elsewhere.
With Estadi Montilivi holding fewer than 15,000 spectators, demand from travelling Arsenal supporters is expected to exceed the available allocation, meaning tickets could sell out quickly once general sale begins.
Supporters who miss out on official sales may need to use the secondary market, with SeatPick,Ticket-Compare and Football Ticket Net already listing tickets for the fixture with authenticity guarantees, although prices are likely to exceed face value due to the stadium's limited capacity.
