Athletic Club vs. Arsenal: Your Complete Guide to Catching All the Action Live
Arsenal begin their third Champions League campaign under Mikel Arteta's guidance, having progressed to the quarterfinals and semifinals in consecutive seasons.
While linear progression suggests a possible appearance in next year's final, football seldom allows for such straightforward advancement. Arteta understands the challenge his team faces in surpassing their recent achievements in this tournament, despite Andrea Berta's busy summer transfer activity aimed at assembling a squad ready for another extended European journey.
Their league phase campaign commences early Tuesday evening, as they travel to face Athletic Club in Bilbao. Ernesto Valverde's team returns to UEFA's top club tournament for the first time in over ten years, following their recent respectable Europa League performances.
Although the home side will be missing star attacker Nico Williams through injury, this promises to be a challenging fixture for the traveling Arsenal squad.
Here's your guide to watching Arsenal's opening league phase match of 2025–26 on television.
