The 2026/27 Premier League runs from 22 August 2026 to 30 May 2027. London has six top-flight clubs this season and four in the Championship (West Ham were relegated in 2025/26). This is how visitors get in, what it costs, and how to get there and back.
Key takeaways
- Premier League: Arsenal (Emirates), Chelsea (Stamford Bridge), Tottenham (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium), Fulham (Craven Cottage), Brentford (Gtech), Crystal Palace (Selhurst Park). Championship: West Ham (London Stadium), Millwall (The Den), QPR (Loftus Road), Charlton (The Valley).
- Tickets: buy a club membership (£30–50), enter the match ballot, then use the official ticket exchange; hospitality is the guaranteed route; Brentford, Fulham, Palace and the Championship clubs often reach general sale. Touts and resale sites get cancelled at the turnstile.
- Kick-offs move for TV up to six weeks out — book refundable travel.

01 / TICKETSHow visitors actually get a seat
- Membership first: every club sells a paid membership (Arsenal Red £30-ish, Chelsea True Blue, Spurs One Hotspur, etc.) that unlocks ballots and exchanges. Buy it weeks before the match.
- Ballots: Arsenal and Spurs run per-match ballots for members; success rates vary from 10% (big games) to over 40% (midweek, lesser opponents). Chelsea's 2026/27 Silver members hit 42% for some fixtures, Red members 11%.
- Ticket exchange: season-ticket holders list unused seats on the club's official exchange, usually a week before; ballot losers get first access. Refresh at the release time.
- General sale: Brentford, Fulham, Crystal Palace and all four Championship clubs regularly reach general sale for non-marquee fixtures; cup ties too.
- Hospitality: from about £200–350 a head at Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea, guaranteed, with a meal; the easiest route for a group or a once-in-a-lifetime trip.
- Prices: standard adult tickets £30–100-plus depending on club and category; juniors cheaper; away sections are capped at £30 but visitors cannot buy them.
- Avoid: Viagogo-style resale, social-media sellers and touts outside the ground — tickets are digital, name-checked and cancelled, and you lose the money.
02 / GROUNDSStadiums, stations and the walk

03 / DAYKick-off times, pubs and matchday rhythm
- Windows: Saturday 12:30, 15:00 (not televised in the UK), 17:30; Sunday 14:00 and 16:30; Monday and Friday 20:00; midweek 19:30–20:00. Fixtures are confirmed for TV in blocks about six weeks ahead — do not book flights to a 15:00 Saturday that becomes Sunday 16:30.
- Pubs: Arsenal — the Tollington Arms, the Twelve Pins; Chelsea — the Butcher's Hook, the Fox & Pheasant; Spurs — the Beehive, the Bill Nicholson; Fulham — the Eight Bells by Putney Bridge; West Ham — the Olympic Park bars; all heave from two hours before kick-off, home fans only in colours.
- Inside: no alcohol in view of the pitch; pies £5–7, pints £6–7; contactless only; bags small.
- Getting home: stations queue for 30–60 minutes after the whistle; walking a stop or two helps. App prices surge for an hour; black cabs are scarce around Tottenham and Selhurst. A pre-booked fixed fare with Rushxo from an agreed road outside the closures — Seven Sisters Road, Fulham Road, Stratford High Street — is the stress-free exit, and MPVs take a group of seven for the price of one.
- Europe: Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs host Champions League and Europa League nights on Tuesdays–Thursdays at 20:00; tickets follow the same membership routes.
04 / MORETours, museums and the other codes
- Stadium tours run on non-match days with museums at Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs; Wembley's tour includes the Royal Box and the tunnel.
- Women's Super League: Arsenal Women at the Emirates (tickets £10–20, easy to buy), Chelsea Women at Stamford Bridge and Kingsmeadow, Spurs Women at the main stadium for big games.
- Non-league: Dulwich Hamlet, Clapton CFC and Leyton Orient for £10–25 walk-up football with atmosphere.
- Rugby and NFL: Twickenham (England rugby, Six Nations February–March) and the NFL London games at Tottenham and Wembley in October.
- Fans from abroad: Norwegian, Korean, Brazilian, Nigerian and Gulf fans — see your nationality guide for ETA/visa, money and phones.
Transport on the day: tap contactless on Tube and bus (daily cap £8.90 in Zones 1–2); check tfl.gov.uk for closures the week before. Where roads close or crowds make apps surge, a pre-booked fixed-fare car with Rushxo keeps the price agreed and drops you at the nearest open road.
