Arsenal will conclude their pre-season preparations on Saturday 9th August 2025 as they host Athletic Bilbao at the Emirates Stadium. The match serves as the final friendly before the Gunners' Premier League opener against Manchester United next weekend.
The game will not be broadcast on UK television, but fans can stream it live via the official Arsenal website with a subscription. There will be no national radio coverage of the fixture.
Mikel Arteta is expected to use the match to assess his new signings following a busy summer transfer window. Athletic Bilbao, who finished high in La Liga last season and reached the Europa League semi-finals, will provide a stern test.
