ARSENAL will be determined to end what is becoming a lengthy trophy drought in the 2025/26 season – so this summer’s pre-season is more important than ever.
The Gunners have only lifted one major trophy since Mikel Arteta took charge in December 2019, with it being an FA Cup victory in 2020.

And it has been several years filled with heartbreak as Arteta’s men have finished second for three consecutive seasons in the Premier League.
However, fans will be hoping that the appointment of new sporting director Andrea Berta is a catalyst for change off the pitch, as the Italian is known for his shrewd recruitment in the transfer market.
But ultimately, it’s about what the Gunners do on the pitch, and their pre-season fixtures have been revealed.
