Arsenal have built one of the most concentrated US fan bases in Premier League broadcasting, and Mikel Arteta’s title-chasing era has hardened that audience. The club’s Saturday and Sunday slate runs through Peacock at $7.99 a month — every match, every weekend, the full 38-match league calendar.
The widget pulls Arsenal’s next two weeks of fixtures across competitions. The standard week delivers a Saturday or Sunday Premier League match plus a midweek European or domestic cup tie when active.
Premier League: Peacock plus cable simulcasts
Every Arsenal Premier League match streams on Peacock. The $7.99/month subscription covers the full 380-match Premier League slate, no team-specific blackouts and no per-match upcharges. Peacock is the foundational subscription for any US Premier League fan, regardless of club allegiance.
NBC and USA Network simulcast roughly 50 marquee Premier League matches per season on cable, with title-race fixtures over-indexing. Arsenal versus City, Arsenal versus Liverpool, the North London derby — these typically land on the Saturday noon-Eastern USA Network slot, which is the strongest US Premier League viewing window of the week. Cable simulcast means a no-additional-cost path if you have USA Network, but you still need Peacock for the smaller fixtures and midweek catch-up matches.
The 7:30am Eastern Saturday early-window kickoff (generally the top-of-the-table fixture each week) also tends to land on cable simulcast. Arsenal over-index in that slot during title-race seasons.
Champions League: Paramount+
Arsenal’s Champions League is on Paramount+ in the US, $7.99 a month for the ad-supported tier. The CBS Sports Golazo studio team (Kate Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher, Micah Richards) has built the de facto US Champions League broadcast. Henry’s connection to Arsenal makes the Champions League studio coverage of Arsenal’s European nights particularly thorough.
The Tuesday or Wednesday 3pm Eastern kickoff is the strongest weekday US soccer viewing window. Arsenal’s Champions League home nights at the Emirates stream live on Paramount+ with the full pre-match and half-time studio cycle. The cancel-and-rejoin subscription pattern works well for fans who want to follow Arsenal’s European campaign without paying for Paramount+ year-round.
FA Cup, EFL Cup, Community Shield
FA Cup is on ESPN+ in the US — $11.99 a month, or $10.99 for the Disney+ bundle. Arsenal’s FA Cup ties stream there, including any potential Wembley semifinal or final. The FA Cup window is typically January through May, so an Arsenal fan with deep cup ambition pays for ESPN+ across the back half of the season.
EFL Cup (Carabao Cup) lives on Paramount+, bundled with the Champions League rights. Arsenal’s League Cup runs are typically interleaved with Premier League fixtures across the autumn and winter, so the Paramount+ subscription serves double duty during those months.
The Community Shield, when Arsenal qualify, has historically sat with Paramount+ but moves year-to-year. ESPN+ has carried it in recent cycles. Worth checking the week of the match.
Arsenal fixtures against US-followed opposition
Title-race Saturdays against City, Liverpool, or Chelsea typically draw the noon-Eastern Saturday slot on USA Network, simulcast on Peacock. The North London derby (Arsenal versus Spurs) gets the marquee broadcast treatment whenever the fixture lands in a US-friendly window. Arsenal versus Manchester United, even mid-table United, retains its broadcast pull in the US market.
Champions League ties against Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, or PSG get the Paramount+ marquee studio treatment with extended pre-match and post-match coverage.
Pre-season, US tours, friendlies
Arsenal tour the US sporadically — the Florida Cup, the FC Series, club-organized friendlies. ESPN+ and CBS have split pre-season rights match-by-match. Pre-season is not a package, so the Arsenal-specific broadcaster varies year to year. The Premier League Summer Series, when it includes Arsenal, has been on ESPN+ in recent runs.
The expanded 2026 FIFA Club World Cup, hosted in the US, is worth tracking — Arsenal’s qualification status and the eventual broadcaster split (DAZN holds global rights, with US distribution still being finalized at the national level) would change the summer-2026 calculation if Arsenal participate.
What Arsenal’s US viewing costs
Total annual subscription for an Arsenal fan watching every match: Peacock at $79.99/year, Paramount+ at $7.99 a month for Champions League and EFL Cup months (roughly six = $48), ESPN+ at $11.99 a month for FA Cup window (typically three to four months = $36-48). Total: $164-176 if Arsenal go deep across all cups, closer to $130 with early exits.
