Arsenal's 2025-26 Champions League Opponents Revealed: Who Will the Gunners Face?

Arsenal have learned who they will face during the 2025–26 Champions League league phase following Thursday's draw ceremony in Monaco.

The North London club advanced to the semi-finals of last season's tournament before being eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain, leaving them still searching for their maiden Champions League triumph. Will this campaign finally deliver success?

Mikel Arteta certainly hopes so, particularly after a summer of substantial investment that brought in players like Viktor Gyökeres, Martín Zubimendi, Noni Madueke and, most recently, Eberechi Eze for considerable fees.

Below are Arsenal's eight league phase adversaries.

Complete List of Arsenal's Champions League 2025–26 League Phase Fixtures

Arsenal have the opportunity to settle scores with Bayern Munich during the league phase after the Bavarian club eliminated them from the 2023–24 Champions League, while they can also seek retribution against Inter following last season's loss to the Italian side.

Atlético Madrid represent a tough Pot 2 challenge but the encounter takes place at the Emirates Stadium, with a more manageable trip to Club Brugge providing some relief.

Home fixtures against Olympiacos and away matches at Slavia Prague should prove manageable, as should hosting Kazakhstani newcomers Kairat.

Arsenal will also travel to Athletic Club from Pot 4, opponents they recently defeated during pre-season preparations.
