London football tickets 2026-27: six clubs, one calendar

North London stadiums: where London football tickets take you in N7 and N17

London football tickets at the Emirates Stadium (Arsenal, 60,704 seats)

Built at Ashburton Grove to replace Highbury, the Emirates opened on 22 July 2006 at a cost of £390 million; its record crowd, 60,383, came for Arsenal v Liverpool on 27 October 2024. The North Bank and the Clock End sit behind the goals, and licensed standing arrives in the Clock End lower tier this season, then in the North Bank lower tier in 2027/28. Visiting fans, 1,500 of them, are in the green quadrant in the south-east corner of the lower tier. Dennis Bergkamp’s statue stands by the West Stand, near The Armoury shop and the ticket offices.

Arsenal station (Piccadilly line) is three minutes away but has no step-free access; Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington, about ten minutes’ walk each, do. Holloway Road is exit-only before matches and Drayton Park is closed on matchdays. Do not drive: on-street parking is for resident permit holders only.

London football tickets at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (62,850 seats)

Opened on 3 April 2019 on the site of White Hart Lane, at a cost of about £1 billion, the Populous-designed stadium has a pitch that splits into three and retracts to reveal an artificial surface for NFL games and concerts. The South Stand is the Home End: 17,500 seats in one tier, the largest single-tier stand in the country. Away supporters sit in the north-east corner, blocks 114-118, entering through entrances 11 and 12 from Worcester Avenue. Bricks from the old East Stand were reused in the Shelf Bar.

White Hart Lane station, on the London Overground from Liverpool Street, is about 200 metres away, and Greater Anglia trains stop at Northumberland Park. Free pre-booked shuttle buses run from Alexandra Palace and Wood Green. General admission gates open two hours before kick-off.

West London football tickets: Stamford Bridge, Craven Cottage and the Gtech

London football tickets at Stamford Bridge (Chelsea, 40,044 seats)

Stamford Bridge opened on 28 April 1877, almost three decades before Gus Mears founded Chelsea in 1905 to play there; the record crowd, 82,905, saw Chelsea v Arsenal on 12 October 1935. The pitch, the turnstiles and the naming rights belong to Chelsea Pitch Owners, set up to keep developers out. The Matthew Harding Stand to the north holds the most vocal home fans, the West Stand is the largest with about 13,500 seats, and the Shed End, where Peter Osgood’s ashes lie under the penalty spot, houses about 3,000 away fans on its east side.

Fulham Broadway (District line) is five minutes’ walk; from central London change at Earl’s Court for a Wimbledon-bound train. Bags larger than A4 are refused, and nobody is admitted after the 60th minute.

Craven Cottage, Fulham (28,107 seats)

Archibald Leitch built the Cottage pavilion and the Stevenage Road Stand, now the Johnny Haynes Stand, in 1905; both are Grade II listed, and the stand keeps its original wooden seats. The Riverside Stand on the Thames, rebuilt from 2019, is the most modern part of the ground. Home fans sing in the Hammersmith End, especially block H5, while away fans share the Putney End, usually blocks P5 and P6.

Take the District line to Putney Bridge, not Fulham Broadway, and walk 10 to 20 minutes through Bishops Park along the river. Stands open in stages, the Riverside first.

Gtech Community Stadium, Brentford (17,250 seats)

Brentford left Griffin Park, their home from 1904, for this £71 million ground squeezed inside a triangle of railway lines next to Kew Bridge station; the first game was a 2-2 friendly with Oxford United on 1 September 2020. The West Stand is a safe-standing area with rail seating, the North Stand is for families and visitors go in the East Stand. The record crowd, 17,224, came against Arsenal on 12 February 2026.

Kew Bridge (South Western Railway from Waterloo) is next door but not step-free; Brentford station is. Bags must not exceed 34 x 24 x 11 cm.

South London football tickets: Selhurst Park

Selhurst Park, Crystal Palace (25,194 seats)

Another Archibald Leitch design, Selhurst Park was opened on 30 August 1924, when Palace lost 1-0 to The Wednesday; the record crowd, 51,482, saw the Second Division title won against Burnley in 1979. The two-tier Holmesdale Road Stand is the home end, the Arthur Wait Stand holds about 3,000 away fans, and the original 1924 Main Stand is being rebuilt as a 13,500-seat, three-tier stand.

Norwood Junction (London Overground, Southern, Thameslink) is 13 minutes’ walk and Selhurst (Southern) 15. Turnstiles open two hours before kick-off, the Fanzone three hours before.

North London football tickets for the derby: Arsenal v Tottenham

The rivalry dates from 1913, when Arsenal moved from Woolwich to north London. By February 2026 the clubs had met 199 times, with 86 Arsenal wins, 61 for Tottenham and 52 draws; the biggest margin is still Arsenal’s 6-0 at Tottenham in March 1935, and Harry Kane is the derby’s top scorer with 14 goals. The latest meeting, on 22 February 2026, ended Tottenham 1-4 Arsenal. In 2026-27 Spurs host the first derby (weekend of 4 December to 7 December 2026, day to be confirmed) and Arsenal the return (weekend of 30 April to 3 May 2027, day to be confirmed), both subject to television selection. Neither club holds a general sale for this one.

Chelsea v Spurs: London football tickets for a cup-final rivalry

Chelsea beat Tottenham 2-1 in their first meeting, on 18 December 1909, but the rivalry really dates from the 1967 FA Cup final, the first all-London final. By May 2026 the clubs had played 181 competitive games, with 83 Chelsea wins and 55 for Tottenham. This season’s meetings: Stamford Bridge (Saturday 24 October 2026) and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (weekend of 7 May to 10 May 2027, day to be confirmed).

West London football tickets for the Chelsea, Fulham and Brentford derbies

The West London derby is any match between Brentford, Chelsea, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers: 366 meetings, with Chelsea the most frequent winners (86). Chelsea and Fulham did not meet between 1986 and 2001, and 2022-23 was the first season with all three of today’s clubs in the top flight. This season Chelsea won 3-2 at Craven Cottage on 24 August, then lost 3-0 at Brentford on 18 September. Still to come: Fulham v Brentford (weekend of 11 December to 14 December 2026, day to be confirmed), Chelsea v Fulham (weekend of 9 April to 12 April 2027, day to be confirmed), Brentford v Fulham (weekend of 23 April to 26 April 2027, day to be confirmed) and Chelsea v Brentford on the final day (Sunday 30 May 2027).

South London football tickets for Palace’s local games

Crystal Palace already won 3-2 at Craven Cottage in the league on 5 September, and they return across the river for the League Cup fourth round: Fulham v Crystal Palace, Wednesday 28 October 2026, one match with a quarter-final place at stake. At Selhurst Park, the big local date is the visit of Brighton & Hove Albion, the rivalry known as the M23 derby: weekend of 14 May to 17 May 2027, day to be confirmed. As with every Palace league game, tickets are for season-ticket holders and members only.
