The match is scheduled for Sunday 20 December 2026, kicking off at 4.30pm UK time at the Emirates Stadium in Holloway, north London. Being a Sunday fixture, it falls outside the 3pm Saturday blackout; whether it is shown live in the UK, and on which channel, is confirmed by the Premier League's broadcasters.
Televised slots are occasionally rearranged, so it is worth confirming the time again in the week of the match.

How to get Arsenal v Manchester United tickets
Every seat for this game goes through Arsenal's members, because the club never holds a general sale for men's home matches. The order of play:
- Members only. Only members could apply. Red Membership, for adults aged 18 and over, costs £38 a season, and Silver Members are drawn ahead of Red.
- Ballot closed at 12pm on 26 October. The ballot for Silver, Red and Disability Access members ran from 12pm on 23 October to 12pm on Monday 26 October. Successful applicants are charged automatically at the member price, from £78 in Category A: Silver Members were due around 29 October, and Red Members are due around 3 November.
- Try the Ticket Exchange if you miss out. Unsuccessful members, Silver first, get access to full-price tickets resold by season ticket holders and other members until 1.30pm on matchday; the club may open it to other members match by match.
The odds matter: the club's published 2026/27 success rates so far are 24% to 58% for Silver and 5% to 12% for Red. Our How To Get Arsenal Tickets guide compares the tiers.
With no membership, or no luck in the draw, resale is the alternative. Seats listed on Hellotickets are priced by their sellers, sometimes above face value, and the final price appears before you pay.

Where to sit at Emirates Stadium
Hellotickets sorts the Emirates into three kinds of zone. Shortside means one of the ends: the North Bank behind the north goal, which is the home end, or the Clock End behind the south goal, where the lower tier has standing rails from 2026/27. Longside covers the two touchline stands, the West Stand (the main side, with the tunnel and the Directors' Box) and the East Stand. Central narrows that to seats around halfway.
Each label also gives the tier. Between the lower and upper tiers sit Club Level and the executive boxes. Manchester United's supporters are in the away section in the south-east corner, next to the Clock End, so seats there are not among home fans. Check block numbers against the Emirates Stadium seating plan before buying, and see all fixtures on our Arsenal tickets page.
