Buy Arsenal vs Newcastle United tickets for the 2026/27 Season and be at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday 23 January 2027, with the kick-off time confirmed once the Premier League announces its broadcast selections for that weekend. It comes a week after Arsenal's trip to Hull, with the title race likely to be tight by then.

Arsenal enter this season as Premier League champions, having ended a 22-year wait for the title in 2025/26. Every home game now carries the weight of a title defence, and the Emirates crowd has rarely been more confident. Newcastle know what they are walking into: they have not won a league game at the Emirates since November 2010.
That combination of a defending champion, a proud visiting club and one of the loudest away followings in the country is why this January fixture is one of the more sought-after tickets in north London this winter.
The title defence comes first. After winning the league in 2025/26, Arsenal's home games have taken on a new edge, and demand from members has risen with it. Few seats reach general circulation for any Premier League game at the Emirates, and a champions' January fixture is no exception.
The visitors add their own pull. Newcastle United bring one of the most committed away followings in English football, and their allocation of around 3,000 seats in the south-east corner sells quickly. When the Toon Army are in, the noise from that corner is part of the matchday.
Recent meetings keep the interest high. Arsenal won 1-0 in this fixture in each of the last two seasons, and the April 2026 win came during their title run-in. Newcastle fans will travel south wanting to end that run, and home fans will be looking for another step towards retaining the title.
Newcastle also have a cup memory to draw on. They won 2-0 at the Emirates in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final in January 2025 on their way to lifting the trophy at Wembley, their first major honour in 70 years. That result sits outside the league record below, but it shows the visitors can win in north London.
The calendar also matters. Arsenal are playing in the Champions League league phase this season, with home nights such as Arsenal vs Lille on the calendar. Supporters want to see the squad keep pace in the league while juggling European fixtures, and a Saturday home game against Newcastle is a key test of that.
Finally, the Emirates holds 60,704, and most of those seats belong to season ticket holders. Once members' sales, hospitality and the away allocation are accounted for, the pool of tickets available to a one-off buyer is very small.
Not through club routes. Arsenal sell Premier League match tickets to members, with ballots used for high-demand fixtures, and membership priority depends on your level and your history of buying tickets. For a game like this, a new member with no ticket history has little chance of securing seats together.
Groups find it hardest of all. Each member can usually buy only for themselves and a limited number of linked members, so friends or families who want to sit together need several memberships with enough history to succeed in the same sale window.
Season ticket holders who cannot attend can resell through the club's ticket exchange, but those seats are also only available to members. Even paid members often find the exchange sells out within minutes for bigger fixtures.
Membership is a poor fit for a one-off visitor. It carries an annual fee, does not guarantee a ticket for any single match and is built around loyalty points that take seasons to accumulate.
Timing adds another layer of uncertainty. Sale windows for members open only once dates are settled, and broadcast changes can move a match after tickets are sold. For visitors who need to book flights early, relying on a membership sale is a gamble that often does not pay off.
The resale marketplace is the practical alternative. Sellers on 1BoxOffice list seats across the Emirates, with delivery methods and any restrictions stated in each listing. You choose a stand and a price, compare options side by side and buy without a membership number or a ballot entry.
Five factors move the price for this fixture. Seat location matters most: central lower-tier and Club Level seats along the East and West Stands sit at the top of the range, while the upper tier behind the goals is the more affordable option. Demand is the second factor, and a champions' home game in the 2026/27 season pushes it up.
Timing plays a part as well, since prices often move once the television slot and kick-off time are confirmed. Competition context matters too, with the title race likely to be tight by late January. Hospitality is the fifth factor, with Club Level and box packages priced in a separate bracket.
| Ticket Type | Resale Price Range | Best For | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upper tier / less central | £90 – £160 | Budget-conscious fans who want to be inside the ground | Upper tier behind the goals or towards the corners; full view of the pitch |
| Longside standard | £140 – £240 | First-time visitors wanting a balanced view | Upper or lower East and West Stand seats away from the halfway line |
| Lower tier / central | £200 – £350+ | Buyers who want to be close to the touchline | Lower-tier blocks near the halfway line |
| Premium seating | £350 – £600+ | Couples and small groups after comfort and a central view | Club Level seats in the second tier with access to premium concourses |
| Hospitality / VIP | £500 – £1,500+ | Corporate guests and special occasions | Premium lounges, dining packages or executive boxes, depending on the offer |
Prices reflect typical resale ranges and may change as demand and availability shift closer to the match.
For context, the club's own 2026/27 matchday prices for adults run from £31.80 in the lowest category to £168 at the top of the highest category, depending on the fixture and the seat. The gap between face value and resale prices reflects how few tickets reach anyone outside the membership base.
Group size affects price as well. Blocks of four or more seats together are scarcer than pairs, so the per-seat cost for a larger group often sits towards the top of each range. Splitting a group across two nearby rows is a sensible way to keep the total down.
The Emirates opened in 2006 and is built in four tiers, with the lower tier, Club Level, the box level and the upper tier. The North Bank and the Clock End sit behind the goals, while the larger East and West Stands run along the touchlines. For a block-by-block view, the Emirates Stadium seating plan shows every section.
| Area | What It Suits | Pricing Bracket | Guidance |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Stand, lower tier | Buyers who want to be close to the dugouts | Premium | Central blocks near the tunnel carry the top prices; a strong view of the benches |
| East Stand, lower tier | Neutral buyers and first-time visitors | Mid to upper | Faces the dugouts across the pitch; a clear, balanced view |
| Club Level (second tier) | Comfort seekers and business guests | Premium | Padded seats with access to indoor bars and restaurants on the same level |
| Upper tier, East and West | Tactical viewers | Mid-range | Steep and high, with an excellent view of team shape; the more affordable longside option |
| North Bank | Committed home supporters | Mid-range | Arsenal's traditional home end and the loudest part of the ground; not ideal for neutrals |
| South-east corner, lower tier (away section) | Newcastle supporters | Mid-range | Around 3,000 seats reached through turnstiles K and L; back rows sit under the overhanging tier; avoid Newcastle colours in home areas |
Neutral buyers and undecided fans should aim for the East Stand or the upper tier along either touchline, where the view takes in the whole pitch and both sets of supporters can be heard. Groups of four or more have the strongest chance of finding seats together in the larger East and West Stands.
The stadium's four-tier design means the overhang affects the back rows of the lower tier. If a clear view of high balls matters to you, choose seats in the front half of the lower tier or move up to Club Level or the upper tier.
Atmosphere varies around the ground. The North Bank and the Clock End are where the most vocal home supporters gather, while the long stands are calmer and better suited to buyers who want to watch the game closely. On a day when Newcastle bring a full away end, the Clock End side of the stadium is often the loudest.
Wear neutral clothing or Arsenal red and white in home areas. Newcastle's black and white belongs in the away section, and stewards take segregation seriously. Seats in the blocks next to the away corner are sold as home tickets, so anyone sitting there should expect a lively afternoon without showing allegiance to the visitors.
Arsenal run one of the widest hospitality programmes in the Premier League, with packages that start at around £155 per person in premium lounges and rise to executive boxes for larger groups. Browse the full list of events at the Emirates Stadium to compare hospitality across fixtures.
| Hospitality Option | Typical Buyer | Main Appeal |
|---|---|---|
| Club Level seat | Couples and individual business guests | Padded seats in the second tier with indoor bars and restaurants close by |
| Premium lounge package | Small groups and client entertainment | Pre-match dining and drinks in a lounge with seats in a central area |
| Fine dining package | Guests marking a special occasion | A multi-course meal before the match with a premium seat for the game |
| Executive box | Larger corporate groups | Private space with its own seats overlooking the pitch and catering for the party |
Inclusions vary by package and seller, so read each listing carefully. Some offers are seat-only Club Level tickets while others include dining and drinks. If catering matters to you, confirm it before you buy.
Hospitality for champions' home games tends to sell early, especially for weekend fixtures in winter. If you are planning a client day around this match, secure it well before the final month.
Plan your arrival around the package. Lounge guests are usually welcomed well before kick-off for dining, so aim to reach the stadium early rather than joining the crowds from the Underground.
Arsenal tickets are digital, held on members' cards or phones, and the stadium is fully cashless. Sellers on the marketplace use a handful of delivery methods for matches at the Emirates.
| Delivery Type | What to Check |
|---|---|
| Mobile ticket | The app or wallet used, the date the ticket will arrive and that your phone can display it at the turnstile |
| Membership card or digital pass | How the seller will pass the access method to you and when you will receive it |
| Named ticket transfer | The name and details the seller needs before matchday |
| Hospitality package delivery | How passes are issued, the entrance for your lounge and the arrival time for dining |
Read the listing notes before you buy, since they state the delivery method for each set of seats. Bring valid photo ID in case stewards ask for it. Charge your phone fully before you leave, and remember that bags must be A4 size or smaller, as larger bags are refused at the turnstiles.
Arsenal and Holloway Road stations on the Piccadilly line are a few minutes' walk from the ground, while Finsbury Park and Highbury & Islington are around 15 minutes away. Holloway Road closes after the final whistle, and Arsenal station queues can be long, so Finsbury Park is often the quicker choice after the match.
Turnstiles open two hours before kick-off. Arriving early gives you time to clear security, find your seat and watch the warm-up before the players come out.
January weather in north London can be cold and wet, and the concourses fill quickly at half-time. Layers and a waterproof are worth packing even though the stands are covered, and buying food before the break saves time in the queues.

London's airports all have fast links into the city, and the Piccadilly line runs directly from Heathrow to Arsenal station, which makes it one of the easier grounds to reach for overseas visitors. For delivery, choose a mobile ticket listing so your tickets arrive before you travel, and send any name details as soon as you have booked.
Premier League kick-off times move when games are picked for television, so the match could shift to a different slot on Saturday or to Sunday. Booking flexible travel and accommodation for the full weekend protects you if the date changes.
If you are travelling as a group, use the seats-together filter and buy in a single order. Newcastle supporters travelling south should buy through their own club's allocation for the away section, and fans who want to see both meetings this season can look at the reverse fixture, Newcastle United vs Arsenal, in November.
Islington and the area around Highbury make an easy base for the weekend, with plenty of pubs and restaurants within walking distance of the ground. The Drayton Park pub opposite the stadium is a traditional meeting point for away supporters.
For visitors combining football with a London weekend, the stadium is well placed. Central London is around 15 minutes away on the Piccadilly line, so a Saturday match fits easily around sightseeing, shopping or a show in the evening.
This fixture has produced some of the most memorable afternoons of the Emirates era. Newcastle have long been one of the Premier League's biggest clubs by support, and their visits to north London bring a large, loud away end. At the Emirates, though, the story has been one of home dominance.
Arsenal have lost only one of 18 Premier League meetings at the Emirates, a 1-0 defeat in November 2010. Since then they have gone 14 home league games against Newcastle without defeat, winning 13 of them. The standout was a 7-3 win in December 2012, still the highest-scoring meeting between the clubs at the ground.
The early years set the tone. Arsenal beat Newcastle 3-0 at the Emirates twice in 2008, in January and again in August, and the only blemish of that period was a 1-1 draw in the stadium's first season. The 2010 defeat remains the exception rather than the rule.
Newcastle's own ground, St James' Park, is one of the most atmospheric in the country, and their supporters bring that same energy south every season in the hope of breaking the Emirates pattern.
What makes the fixture distinctive is the contrast between a dominant home record and a visiting support that never stops believing. Newcastle's away end fills every season regardless of the odds, and that backing keeps the atmosphere at the Emirates high whatever the scoreline on the day.

The Premier League confirms kick-off times once broadcasters make their selections, usually several weeks ahead. The match could move from Saturday to another slot that weekend.
Buying several weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of blocks and seats together. With Arsenal defending the title, prices more often rise than fall in the final days.
Visiting supporters sit in the lower tier of the south-east corner, entering through turnstiles K and L. Anyone sitting elsewhere should keep Newcastle colours out of sight.
Only bags of A4 size or smaller are allowed. The stadium is also cashless, so bring a card or phone that can pay contactless.
It depends on the tier: Club Level seats include access to indoor bars while lounge and box packages add dining. Confirm food and drink inclusions in the listing before paying.
