Arsenal and Brentford to host FIFA Women's Champions Cup in 2026

Renee Slegers' side could win the tournament on home soil at Emirates Stadium




Fixture details have been confirmed for the semi-final, third-place play-off and final for the inaugral 2026 FIFA Women's Champions Cup.

Arsenal will play ASFAR or Wuhan Jiangda in the semi-finals, qualifying by virtue of winning the 2025 Women's Champions League.

This fixture will take place at Brentford's Gtech Community Stadium at 6pm on Wednesday January 28, with the other semi-final between Corinthians and Gotham kicking off at 12:30pm that same day.

The third-place play-off and final will both be played at Emirates Stadium, meaning Arsenal will have the prospect of home advantage should they progress.

Arsenal Chief Executive Officer Richard Garlick said: “Following our historic UEFA Women’s Champions League win in May, we’re proud that we will be competing on the global stage in the inaugural FIFA Women’s Champions Cup.

“We’re thrilled that the third-place match and final will be played at Arsenal Stadium, as we continue to pioneer and drive growth in the women’s game with our supporters.

"We look forward to delivering a memorable event for our community in North London and supporters of the game all over the world.”

The Gunners' Women’s Super League home meeting with Leicester City on Saturday January 31 will be rescheduled as a result.
