Arsenal parade 2026 live: Route and start time as fans celebrate on streets

The parade is due to start at 2pm this afternoon, with Arsenal's buses heading through the streets of Islington to celebrate the major victory.

Sadly, it wasn't to be a Champions League victory after the Gunners suffered a defeat on penalties against Paris St-Germain in Budapest yesterday.

Still, the men's team is bringing home the Premier League trophy while the women's team has brought home the Women's Champions Cup.

Here's the route today where the parade will travel:

The buses will follow a roughly five-mile loop through Islington, travelling much of Highbury, Canonbury and Upper Street before returning to the Emirates area.

From the stadium, the parade will continue down Holloway Road from Drayton Park, then along Seven Sisters Road onto Blackstock Road, Mount Grove Road and Green lanes.

Heading south along Petherton Road, the congregation will then travel Beresford Road, Newington Green Road and along Essex Road before turning to Angel Tube station on to Upper Street.

On the final stretch, it will head towards Highbury and Islington station, back on to Holloway Road before completing the lap at Arsenal's home ground.

Emirates Stadium, Drayton Park and surrounding roads will be closed throughout the parade amd blocked off from the public.

Supporters are being urged not to congregate around the staiumd area, Hornsey Road, Benwell Road or Drayton Park, as officials say you will not be able to see the teams from these locations.
