Arsenal have confirmed they will host an exclusive open training session for the men’s first team at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, offering members a rare opportunity to watch Mikel Arteta’s squad in action ahead of the new Premier League season.
The session will run from 11:00AM to 12:30PM UK time, with turnstiles opening at 10:00AM to allow fans to take their seats. Refreshments will be available before training begins, and the club has made it clear that no late entry will be permitted once the session is underway to ensure a smooth and focused experience.
Open only to Arsenal members including Gold, Platinum, and Red Senior categories, the event is free of charge, with tickets available on a first-come, first-served basis through the club’s e-ticketing platform. Given the high demand for previous sessions, supporters are being encouraged to book early.

These occasions have proven popular in the past, with the last open session in May 2025, before a Premier League match against Newcastle United, attracting large numbers. Fans in attendance typically enjoy an inside look at tactical drills, player warm-ups, and team interactions, experiences rarely available to the general public.
The initiative is part of Arsenal’s broader push to connect more closely with its fanbase. It also offers supporters a chance to see new signings and observe how the squad is shaping up before competitive action begins.
While the event primarily benefits those in London or willing to travel, non-members interested in attending future sessions can explore membership options via the club’s official website.
The open training will take place just three days after Arsenal’s Premier League opener, when Arteta’s side travel to Old Trafford for a high-profile clash with Manchester United on Sunday.
