Arsenal will celebrate their first Premier League title in 22 years with an open-top bus parade in Islington, north London. The event is scheduled for Sunday, May 31, 2026, starting at 2pm UK time. Fans are advised to arrive early to secure good viewing spots along the route.
Parade Details
The parade will take place entirely within the borough of Islington. While the exact route is being finalised with the local council, previous victory parades have begun at the Emirates Stadium and passed through Drayton Park, Highbury Grove, and Upper Street. The club has confirmed that the parade will proceed regardless of the outcome of the Champions League final, which takes place the day before.
Potential Double Celebration
Arsenal faces Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final in Budapest on Saturday, May 30. If Mikel Arteta's side wins, both the Premier League and Champions League trophies will be displayed on the bus, creating a historic double celebration.
Trophy Lift
The squad will officially lift the Premier League trophy on Sunday, May 24, following their final match of the season against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. The parade will be a separate event to honour the domestic triumph with fans.
Road Closures and Disruption
Islington Council has warned of heavy disruption, extensive road closures, and parking suspensions across the borough on the day of the parade. Residents and traveling fans are advised to plan their journeys in advance.
Logistics for Traveling Fans
Fans attending the Champions League final in Budapest face a tight turnaround to return to London for the parade. Overnight flights or early morning travel will be necessary to arrive by Sunday afternoon.
Official information on crowd safety, entry points, and final route timings will be published closer to the date by Arsenal FC and Islington Council. Supporters should rely solely on these official channels for updates.
