Arsenal Premier League 2023/24 fixtures in full: First opponents, Spurs dates and final games

Arsenal now know their fixture list for the new Premier League season following the release of fixtures on Thursday.

With last season already fading into the distant memory just weeks after drawing to a close, the Premier League have capitalised on any and all early excitement for the new season by placing fixture release day early in the summer. The release allows fans to tentatively plan for the new campaign, albeit fixtures are subject to change due to European commitments, TV selections and progress in the cup competitions.

Nevertheless, we now have a picture of the Premier League schedule, and here we run you through the highlights as far as Arsenal are concerned.

Who will Arsenal play first?

Arsenal will kick off their season on August 12 against Nottingham Forest at the Emirates Stadium. The clash is a lunchtime kick-off, and it will be the second game of the new Premier League season.

The Gunners will then turn attention to an all-London clash with Crystal Palace ahead of welcoming capital rivals Fulham to the Emirates Stadium to close out August.

When do Arsenal play Spurs?

The first North London derby on the schedule comes on the 23rd of September at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal’s home clash with Tottenham is down for 3pm currently, but you can bet your bottom dollar that game will be on television, meaning a change of time - and possibly even date.

The clash at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will take place on April 27, but again the fixture will be subject to change. That will be a particularly interesting derby with both sides likely having something to play for. Just three games will remain after that point, although rearrangements could mean that total changes a little.

Who do Arsenal play over Christmas?

Arsenal’s Christmas calendar will kick off two days before Christmas day, against Liverpool at Anfield. Just three days later, the Gunners will take on West Ham United at the Emirates Stadium.

Arteta’s men will then take on Fulham away from home on December 30 to round off the festive period. Attention will then turn to the FA Cup.

Who will be Arsenal’s final three opponents?

Arsenal go into the final run-in against Bournemouth at home on May 4 as things stand. They then face Manchester United away on May 11 ahead of welcoming Everton to the Emirates Stadium to finish the season on May 19.
