Arsenal vs Lille Biglietti

When and where Arsenal host Lille

Arsenal host Lille at Emirates Stadium on Tuesday 13 October 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 20:00 local time. The game is a Champions League league phase fixture that brings Lille to north London to face Arsenal. Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home ground since 2006, has a capacity of 60,704, making it one of the larger venues on this season's league phase calendar. Kicking off on a Tuesday evening, the fixture sits in the middle of a busy autumn schedule for both clubs, who are also contesting their domestic leagues either side of this European date.

Arsenal play in the Premier League and Lille in Ligue 1, so this match is one of the relatively few times in the season the two clubs meet at all, and it gives supporters of both sides a rare chance to see an English and a French club face off on English soil.

What the league phase means for this match

This fixture is part of the Champions League league phase, the single continental table in which every club plays a set of opponents drawn from across Europe rather than a fixed group of four. Points picked up at home against Lille count towards Arsenal's position in that table, just as Lille's result in north London counts towards theirs. Because the league phase draws together a wide spread of clubs from different leagues and countries, neither side's overall position can be judged from a single match.

A midweek European fixture at Emirates Stadium also means a different rhythm to the day for supporters compared with a Saturday Premier League game, with kick-off two hours later in the evening and, typically, extended time in and around the stadium beforehand for fans travelling from further afield.

Comparing Arsenal vs Lille ticket prices

Prices for Arsenal vs Lille tickets vary depending on where in Emirates Stadium a seat is located, with lower-tier seats close to the pitch typically commanding higher prices than seats higher in the stands. As a high-profile Champions League fixture against French opposition, demand is likely to be strong among both Arsenal and Lille supporters, and prices can shift as the 13 October kick-off approaches.

This site compares prices from StubHub, Viagogo, Hellotickets, Football Ticket Net, Gigsberg and SportsEvents365, so fans can see how listings for the same seats differ across resale marketplaces before deciding where to buy. Checking more than one seller before purchasing is generally the simplest way to find the better-value option for this fixture, particularly for a European night where demand can be harder to predict than for a routine league fixture.

Fixtures either side of this game

After the Lille fixture, Arsenal have three further matches in quick succession: Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal on 18 October, Bayern Munich vs Arsenal in the Champions League league phase on 21 October, and Arsenal vs Everton back at Emirates Stadium on 24 October.

Lille's own run of matches follows a similar pattern either side of the trip to London. Nice vs Lille and Lille vs Le Havre AC both come before the Emirates Stadium fixture, while Lille vs Brest, a Champions League league phase match away at Galatasaray, and a Ligue 1 fixture at AS Monaco follow it.

• Before 13 October: Brighton vs Arsenal (19 September), Arsenal vs Leeds United (10 October)
• After 13 October: Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal (18 October), Bayern Munich vs Arsenal (21 October), Arsenal vs Everton (24 October)

Fans planning to attend more than one of these fixtures may find it useful to compare ticket prices across the run of matches, since demand and pricing for Champions League nights typically differ from a standard Premier League weekend.
