Arsenal have officially confirmed their plans to hold at least six pre-season fixtures for their u21s in July and August, including some familiar friendly opponents.
The academy side will kick things off with the traditional friendly against Boreham Wood at Meadow Park, followed by a game away to St. Albans City.
The team will travel overseas to face Austria Wien’s youth team in Vienna, before returning to play Enfield Town and Chelmsford City in a couple more away fixtures.

Finally, the young Gunners will take on AS Monaco B at Monaco’s training centre on August 9th.
Arsenal academy manager Per Mertesacker had previously confirmed in a podcast appearance that the u21s would play either Monaco or PSG, as they look to prepare for next season’s UEFA Youth League.
Barring a disastrous finish to the season for the senior team, the Gunners will be in the Champions League next season, which means the u19s will be in the Youth League.
The team haven’t had the best results in recent campaigns, so it would be good to get in a practice match before the 2025/26 edition of the competition.
