Football tickets in London: every club and how to buy in 2026/27

Football tickets in London are sold by each club, so the club you pick decides how hard it is. West Ham’s next home games are on general sale, which means anyone can buy, with adult seats from £30. Tottenham and Fulham sell some games to the public, but Arsenal, Chelsea and Crystal Palace keep almost everything for paying members.

Each club has its own page with every game and its sale status: Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Fulham.

Which football clubs can you watch in London?

You can watch seven big football clubs in London in 2026/27. Six play in the Premier League, England’s top division. West Ham United plays in the Championship, the division below. London has other clubs too, such as Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road.

The seat numbers come from the Premier League Handbook for 2026/27, and from the London Stadium’s own website for West Ham. Bigger is not easier: Arsenal’s 60,704 seats are still shared out by ballot, a free draw where the names picked may buy a ticket.

Which London football club is easiest to get tickets for?

West Ham is the easiest London football club to get tickets for in 2026/27, because most of its games go on general sale weeks ahead. Arsenal is the hardest, because every men’s home game goes to a members’ ballot. This table ranks all seven by your real chance:

Arsenal publishes those success rates itself, and they are for 2026/27 so far. Read the Arsenal membership guide before you pay for Red, the club’s £38 adult plan.

Can you buy football tickets in London without a membership?

Yes, you can buy football tickets in London without a membership at West Ham, for some Fulham games and for rare Tottenham games. A membership is a yearly fee that gives you the right to try for tickets, and it never includes a seat.

Tottenham says its home games are unlikely to reach general sale, which makes Tottenham v Fulham on Thursday 3 December at 8pm worth knowing about. It is on general sale from £49, with up to four seats per buyer.

Hospitality, a ticket with food and drink at a higher price, is the other route. Every club sells it separately, and Arsenal’s team is on 0345 262 0001, option 2.

How do you buy football tickets in London?

You buy football tickets in London from the home club’s own ticket site, after checking who can buy for your game. Follow these steps in order:

1. Pick the club first. If you only want one game a season, start with West Ham. If you want one particular club, start with its page above.
2. Check the sale status of your game. It tells you whether the game is on general sale, for members only, sold out or not on sale yet.
3. Create an account. Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Fulham all sell through their own pages on eticketing.co.uk, such as eticketing.co.uk/arsenal.
4. Join in good time, if you need to. A Brentford membership goes live at 11am on the next working day. Crystal Palace asks you to allow 24-48 hours for your membership pass.
5. Buy or enter when the sale opens. In a ballot, speed does not matter. In a first-come sale, be logged in before it starts.
6. Put the ticket on your phone. Arsenal uses the Arsenal App, Chelsea the Chelsea Official App, and Tottenham your Apple or Google Wallet.

What does a London ticket sale look like, day by day?

A London ticket sale runs in stages, and Fulham v Bournemouth on Sunday 29 November at 2.05pm shows a typical order. Fulham sells it like this:

1. Tuesday 3 November, 9.30am: Fulham Members, who pay £50 a season.
2. Thursday 5 November: season ticket holders buying extra seats.
3. Monday 9 November: fans who have booked with the club before.
4. Wednesday 11 November: a general sale, but only if tickets remain, and with postcode limits.

So a fan with no history at Fulham is last in line, and may find nothing left. Only memberships bought before 5pm on 29 October count for the members’ stage. A newcomer’s club route for this game is the general sale on Wednesday 11 November, if tickets remain.

How much are football tickets in London?

Adult football tickets in London cost from £25 at West Ham’s lowest-priced Championship games, and from £78 for Arsenal’s biggest Premier League games. Clubs put each game in a category, a price band set by the opponent. Most clubs add a yearly membership fee on top.

Brentford’s adult membership is £45.45, or £30.30 for ages 18 to 24. Its game against Arsenal, a Category A* match, starts from £40.40.

A few extras change the total. West Ham adds a £1 booking fee per ticket. Chelsea charges £5 more at general sale than members pay. Fulham Members get £5 off one ticket per match, or £10 off in The Riverside stand.

What does one real London game cost?

West Ham v Preston North End on Saturday 21 November at 3pm shows how one London game is priced. It is a Category B game, and these are the general sale prices by part of the ground:

Claret & Blue Members pay £5 less, but only in their 24-hour window before general sale.

How do you get cheap football tickets in London?

The simplest way to get cheap football tickets in London is to pick a lower-category game and use the age prices. Try these first:

• West Ham Category C games: adults from £25. Under-18s pay from £10 at both Category B and Category C games.
• Fulham family games: adults from £31, or £26 in the family areas.
• Arsenal Category C games: adults from £31.80, if you win the ballot. Ipswich at home on Saturday 2 January is one.
• Younger adults: Brentford’s membership for ages 18 to 24 is £30.30.

What can you do if a London football game is sold out?

If a London football game is sold out, your next stop is the club’s ticket exchange, its own resale service. Season ticket holders hand back seats they cannot use, and other fans buy them. Each club runs its exchange differently:

The Chelsea ticket exchange guide walks through one club’s stages in detail. Do this first: check the exchange again in the week of the match, when more seats may appear.

How do away fans get tickets for games in London?

Away fans get tickets for games in London from their own club, not from the London club. The visiting club receives the seats and sells them to its own members and season ticket holders, usually by loyalty points.

In the Premier League those seats are capped at £30. The clubs agreed in March 2026 to keep the cap for two more seasons. The league credits the cap, in place since 2016, with helping lift away attendance from 82 per cent to 91 per cent. There is no such cap in the Championship, where each club sets its own away prices.

Small grounds have fewer away seats. League rules give visitors 3,000 tickets, or 10% of capacity at grounds under 30,000. That covers Brentford, Crystal Palace and Fulham.

How do you get to London football grounds?

The best way to get to London football grounds is by Tube or train, because parking near them is poor or absent. The London Stadium has no public car park at all. Use this table, and check Transport for London before you travel:

• Coming from Heathrow? The Piccadilly line runs from Heathrow to Arsenal station. Change at Earl’s Court for the District line to Stamford Bridge or Craven Cottage. The Elizabeth line also serves Heathrow and Stratford.
• Travelling from outside London? Check your last train home first. West Ham v Middlesbrough and Tottenham v Fulham both kick off at 8pm on weeknights. All kick-off times are UK time.
• Bringing a suitcase? Think again. Stamford Bridge, Tottenham and the London Stadium have no left luggage. Arsenal points fans to storage at King’s Cross station. Fulham and Brentford offer paid storage from £5, and Crystal Palace takes luggage free at its Information Centre.
• Bags: A4 is the usual limit, at the Emirates, Stamford Bridge, Tottenham, the London Stadium and Craven Cottage.
• Paying: all seven grounds are cashless, so bring a card or phone.
• Arriving: London Stadium turnstiles, the entry gates, open 90 minutes before kick-off. Selhurst Park’s open two hours before.

Going to Craven Cottage? The Craven Cottage seating plan guide explains the stands and the away end.

Can you see two football games in one London weekend?

Yes, you can see two football games in one London weekend, because London clubs often play on different days. Saturday at 3pm is the classic kick-off, and many Sunday games start in the afternoon or evening. These real weekends show how it works:

Best for: fans visiting London who can buy at least one game on general sale. Not worth planning around: a game that has already sold out at the club.

Which route suits families, disabled fans and visitors?

The best route for families, disabled fans and visitors to London is usually a game with general sale or a lower category, booked well ahead. Find your line:

• First-timers: West Ham is the simple choice. Preston, Stoke City and Middlesbrough are all Category B, from £30.
• Bringing children? Check the age rule first. Chelsea wants under-16s beside someone aged 18 or over. At Arsenal, anyone aged 13 or under must be within reach of an adult. At Fulham, under-14s need a responsible adult with them.
• Disabled fans: contact the club before the sale. West Ham’s accessibility price for Band 5 at Category B games is £20. Step-free stations include Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington for the Emirates, Fulham Broadway for Stamford Bridge, Selhurst for Selhurst Park, and Brentford for the Gtech.
• Groups: check the limit first. Crystal Palace sells one ticket per member, and Chelsea allows four per application, one per person. Tottenham v Fulham allows four per buyer.
• Coming from abroad? If you are looking for soccer tickets in London, start with West Ham. Crystal Palace has an International membership from £35, and Brentford has Bees Overseas.

What about England, women’s football and NFL tickets in London?

England men, women’s football and NFL games in London are all sold separately from the clubs above. England play at Wembley Stadium in north-west London, and the NFL is American football.

• England at Wembley: England v Croatia on Thursday 12 November at 7.45pm is sold out at Wembley, with hospitality for members only. The FA Cup final is at Wembley on Saturday 22 May 2027, and ticket details are not yet published.
• Women’s football: London City Lionesses, a Barclays Women’s Super League club, play at the CopperJax Community Stadium in Bromley. On 31 October 2026 the club had 2026/27 season tickets on general sale.
• NFL football tickets in London: the three 2026 NFL London Games have been played, at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Wembley. The NFL said you needed an NFL Ticketmaster account to buy, and lower-tier seats at Tottenham started from £79.13 for adults. Watch nfl.com for the next games.

What mistakes should you avoid when buying football tickets in London?

The most common mistakes when buying football tickets in London are going to the wrong station, joining too late and bringing too much luggage. These are easy to avoid:

• Mixing up the grounds. West Ham play at the London Stadium in Stratford, not at Wembley.
• Trusting a station’s name. Crystal Palace station and Fulham Broadway are both the wrong stops for those clubs.
• Joining on sale day. Memberships can take a day or more to go live.
• Paying for Arsenal Red for one big game. The published success rates for Red are low, so it suits fans who will enter many ballots.
• Bringing cash. London grounds take cards and phones.

What to do now (as of 31 October 2026)

As of 31 October 2026, the easiest football tickets in London are West Ham’s next three home games, on general sale from £30.
