Buy Arsenal vs Fulham tickets for the 2026/27 Season, with the match scheduled for Saturday 20 February 2027 and a provisional 3pm (15:00 UK time) kick-off. It sits in Matchweek 26 of the Premier League, so the time can still move within that weekend once broadcast picks are confirmed. For buyers in the Gulf, a 3pm start in February lands at 7pm UAE time.

The Emirates Stadium hosts this one with Arsenal going into the campaign as defending champions. Every home date has felt the pull of that title. A late-winter London derby against a club that always fills its away end gives the afternoon more bite than the fixture list suggests. Resale stock tends to thin out steadily from the new year onwards.
Fulham have made 14 Premier League visits to the Emirates and are still waiting for a first win there. That record shapes the day. The home crowd expects three points, the away end arrives hoping to rewrite the story and the ground is full long before the first whistle.
The Emirates holds more than 60,000 supporters yet still sells out for Premier League matches, because almost every seat is distributed through club membership before the wider public gets a look. A title-winning season only sharpens that. More members apply for every home league date, which leaves less stock for the club's resale exchange and even less for the open market.
Fulham supporters add their own pressure. The away allocation for a league match at the Emirates is just under 3,000 seats. A short cross-London trip means it rarely goes unclaimed. A Saturday afternoon in late February is an easy day out for travelling fans, so spare seats in the south-east corner are scarce.
Hospitality follows the same pattern. Club Level and box packages for weekend fixtures against London opponents usually go well before matchday. A February date also gives corporate buyers months to plan. If you are weighing up both meetings this season, the reverse fixture at Craven Cottage falls on Wednesday 30 December 2026 in a ground roughly half the size, which makes it a very different buying proposition.
There is also the timing. February is when title races and European places start to take shape. A home match against a London neighbour in that window draws neutral visitors as well as regulars. Demand from overseas buyers planning winter city breaks adds another layer.
Broadcast rules matter here too. Matches kicking off at 3pm on a Saturday are not shown live on UK television, so if this one stays in that slot the only way for a local fan to watch it live is from a seat in the ground. If it moves to a televised slot instead, expect the kick-off to shift and some buyers to reshuffle their plans, which briefly loosens the resale market.
Through the club, realistically no. Arsenal sells men's first-team home tickets through its membership scheme, with Silver Members applying in ballots ahead of Red Members and season ticket holders already occupying most of the stadium. Membership buys you the right to apply rather than a guaranteed seat. There is no general public sale for league matches either.
Returned seats go onto the club's Ticket Exchange, but that route is again limited to members, usually those who missed out in the ballot. The season ticket waiting list moves slowly, so it is no answer for a single fixture in February 2027.
That is the gap the marketplace fills. Sellers on 1BoxOffice list seats they hold for this match, so you can choose an area, see the delivery method and buy without paying for a membership you may never use again. For overseas visitors and occasional fans, it is usually the only practical route into the Emirates for this fixture.
Membership can still make sense if you live in London and plan to attend several matches a season. For one February afternoon, though, the ballot odds and the extra cost rarely add up.
Hospitality is the other route the club offers outside the ballot, with packages sold directly rather than through membership. It costs considerably more than a standard seat but guarantees entry, which is why some visitors treat it as the fallback when general seats look out of reach.
Five things set the price of a seat for this match: where it sits in the bowl, overall demand, how close to kick-off you buy, the competition context and whether hospitality is included. With Arsenal defending the title in 2026/27, current listings for the Fulham game start in the mid-£300s. That floor reflects how little membership stock reaches the open market rather than the opponent. Listings are grouped by side and tier, so the table below follows the same categories you will see when you open the match.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier, shortside (North Bank or Clock End) | £350 – £450 | First visits and budget-focused buyers | Steep rake with a full view of the pitch; furthest from the action |
| Upper tier, longside (East or West Stand) | £360 – £500 | Fans who like to follow the shape of the game | Side-on angle; seats near halfway sit at the top of the range |
| Lower tier, shortside or longside | £390 – £800 | Supporters who want to feel close to the pitch | Wide spread depending on how central the block is |
| Longside central lower | £1,400 – £1,800+ | Premium seating near the halfway line | Limited listings; prices move with supply |
| Hospitality and VIP | £240 – £3,000+ per person | Corporate guests and celebrations | Depends on lounge, dining and box level; private boxes are priced per box |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
Expect three moments of movement. The first comes when broadcast picks for February are confirmed and the kick-off is locked in. The second follows the reverse fixture on 30 December, when interest in the Emirates meeting tends to pick up. The third arrives in the final fortnight, when members who cannot attend list their seats and prices for less central areas can soften slightly.
None of that is guaranteed. A strong run of home form or a tight title race can push every category higher right up to matchday, so waiting carries real risk if you need a specific area or a block of seats together.
The Emirates is a four-tier bowl: a lower tier, the Club Level hospitality ring, a box level and a large upper tier that wraps round the pitch under the roof. Sightlines are clean from almost everywhere, so your choice comes down to atmosphere, angle and budget. Our Emirates Stadium seating plan breaks every stand down block by block.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Bank lower tier | Fans who want noise | Mid to upper | The most vocal home support gathers here behind the north goal |
| Clock End lower tier | Atmosphere with a little more breathing room | Mid | Lively and close to the away corner, so expect plenty of back-and-forth singing |
| East and West Stand lower tier | Close, side-on views | Mid to upper | Rows near halfway carry a premium; blocks towards the corners offer better value |
| Upper tier, all four sides | Budget buyers and full-pitch views | Entry | Steeper rake; the longside upper gives a broadcast-style angle |
| Club Level | Premium seats with lounge access | Premium | Sold as hospitality; padded seats between the lower and upper tiers |
| Away section, south-east corner | Fulham supporters | Away allocation | Lower tier where the Clock End meets the East Stand, entered via the K and L turnstiles; Fulham colours anywhere else in the ground risk ejection |
Two practical points are worth weighing in February. The rear rows of the lower tier sit beneath the Club Level overhang, which keeps you dry but can clip the view of high balls, while front rows in the lower tier are closest to the pitch but most exposed to wind-driven rain. Mid-tier rows give the most balanced compromise for a winter afternoon.
Neutral buyers and undecided fans are usually happiest along the East or West Stand, where a quiet round of applause for good football from either side draws no attention. If you are bringing children, the club runs a family area with junior pricing that requires an accompanying adult, so read the listing notes for age rules. For other matches and events at the ground, browse our full range of Emirates Stadium tickets.
Supporters who need wheelchair spaces or easy-access seating should contact the club's accessibility team directly, because those positions are allocated individually and rarely appear on the resale market. The Emirates has dedicated accessible facilities including a sensory room. Staff can advise on the most suitable entrance for your seat.
Arsenal's hospitality spreads across Club Level and Box Level, from relaxed bar-and-kiosk access through to private boxes with full dining. The club's hospitality descriptions frame each product around where you eat and where you sit. Most packages pair a premium seat with lounge access, so the real decision is about food, drink and how private you want the day to feel. Compare both before you choose.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| The Academy (Club Level) | First-time hospitality guests | Padded Club Level seats, drinks included and a choice of bars and food kiosks |
| Foundry Legends | Fans who want a proper sit-down meal | Private table in The Foundry restaurant, inclusive drinks and a visit from a club legend |
| The Avenell (Box Level) | Couples and small groups marking an occasion | Box Level seating, a grazing menu and cocktails mixed to order |
| Executive Box N7 | Corporate groups of 10 to 15 | Private box with inclusive drinks, its own menu and seats just outside the door |
Most packages open their lounges well before kick-off, so plan to arrive early and treat it as a full afternoon rather than a 90-minute visit. Dress codes vary by lounge. Check your package details before you travel, especially if you are coming straight from a flight.
Hospitality pricing at the Emirates moves with the opponent, so a Fulham fixture often sits below the headline matches against title rivals. That makes this one of the more accessible ways to try Club Level or a box for the first time.
When comparing packages, look past the headline price at four things: whether drinks are inclusive or charged at the bar, whether dining is a sit-down meal or kiosk access, where the seats sit relative to halfway and how early the lounge opens. Those details separate a pleasant upgrade from a genuinely memorable day.
The Emirates runs on digital access only. The club's help centre confirms that entry is by a digital pass downloaded through the Arsenal app. Physical membership cards no longer open the turnstiles. Every delivery method below leads to that same pass on your phone.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Digital pass via the club app | That the seller will transfer the pass to you and that your phone runs the latest version of the app |
| Transfer to your own club account | Whether you need to set up a club account first and which name details the seller needs |
| Hospitality package pass | That confirmation includes your lounge, seat location and arrival time |
| Late release close to the match | When the seller expects to send the pass; many arrive in the final 48 hours before kick-off |
Read the listing notes before you pay, as they state the delivery method and any restrictions on the seat. Bring valid photo ID that matches your booking. Charge your phone fully, because a flat battery at the turnstile is a problem no seller can fix. If your pass has not arrived by the day before the match, contact 1BoxOffice customer support with your order number so the team can chase the seller.
Bags larger than A4 size are not allowed inside, so travel light. Arsenal and Holloway Road stations on the Piccadilly line are a few minutes' walk away, while Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington are around 15 minutes on foot and often quieter after the final whistle.
Queues at the turnstiles build quickly in the final hour before a 3pm start, so aim to be at the ground at least 45 minutes before kick-off. After the match, Arsenal station operates crowd control and can take a while to reach. Walking the 15 minutes to Finsbury Park usually gets you moving sooner, especially if you are heading back towards central London or King's Cross.
1BoxOffice has been a verified ticket marketplace since 2006 and every order is backed by a 150% money-back guarantee, so the process below is the same whether you need two seats or ten.

Step8
Follow your order to matchday
Use track order to check progress at any time until your pass lands on your phone.
Most buyers complete the whole process in a few minutes. The longest wait is usually for the digital pass itself, which sellers often release in the final days before the match, so do not worry if it is not on your phone weeks in advance.
Overseas buyers have an easy run to the ground. The Piccadilly line connects Heathrow directly to Arsenal station without a change, while Eurostar passengers can take the Victoria line from King's Cross St Pancras to Highbury & Islington or Finsbury Park. Make sure your phone works on a UK network or roaming plan, because your digital pass needs the club app on matchday. If you are building a longer London trip, Fulham's riverside home at Craven Cottage sits in south-west London and makes a natural second stop.
Premier League dates can move for broadcast selection or cup commitments, so book flexible flights and hotels where you can, ideally arriving on the Friday and leaving on the Sunday or Monday. Supporters flying in from the Gulf should note that London runs four hours behind UAE time in February, which puts the final whistle of a 3pm kick-off at around 9pm in Dubai. If you are travelling as a group, request seats together at the point of purchase and confirm the arrangement in the listing notes before paying.
Fulham first visited the Emirates in April 2007. The meetings during their eight-season top-flight spell up to 2014 soon settled into a pattern. Arsenal usually won, but Fulham rarely made it comfortable, taking three draws in eight visits, including a goalless February afternoon in 2009 and a 3-3 in November 2012 that remains the highest-scoring meeting at the ground. Fulham's habit of taking something from those visits made them an awkward opponent rather than an easy afternoon.
Relegation in 2014 and two further spells in the Championship broke up the sequence, with only two visits between 2018 and 2021. Since Fulham's return in 2018/19 the margins have stayed tight: four of the six meetings finished level or were settled by a single goal. The most recent, a 3-0 home win in May 2026, came in the closing weeks of Arsenal's title-winning campaign.
What makes this fixture distinctive is the gap between record and feel. Arsenal are unbeaten in 14 home league meetings with Fulham, yet five draws show how often the visitors have frustrated them. Every trip to north London carries the chance of a first win, which keeps the away end full and the home crowd on edge until the points are safe.
It is also a derby without the hostility of the north London rivalry, which makes it one of the more relaxed big-ground days in the capital. Families, first-time visitors and neutrals tend to feel at home here, yet the stakes in February keep the noise level high from both ends. For Fulham fans, the short journey across the capital makes it one of the easier away days on the calendar.
The figures below cover every Premier League meeting at the Emirates Stadium with Arsenal as hosts, from April 2007 to May 2026. Two patterns stand out: Arsenal have kept four clean sheets in those 14 games, yet Fulham have scored in ten of their visits. Home wins have usually come with goals at both ends rather than comfortable shutouts.

Yes, through a resale marketplace, where sellers list seats they already hold. The club's own sales are restricted to members and season ticket holders.
Two to three months out usually gives the widest choice of areas. Waiting for a last-minute drop is a gamble at a ground that sells out every league match.
In the lower tier of the south-east corner, between the Clock End and the East Stand. Visiting colours should stay in that section.
No, entry at the Emirates is digital only. Your seat arrives as a pass in the Arsenal app, often within the final days before the game.
Yes, provided the listing states that seats are together. Larger groups have more options if they are willing to sit in pairs nearby.
