The next scheduled match between Brentford and Arsenal is on 12 February 2026 at the Gtech Community Stadium, with kick-off set for 20:00 UTC (FotMob fixture details). That translates to 8:00 PM GMT (UK time), 3:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (US), and 1:30 AM Indian Standard Time (next day). Premier League kick-off slots typically fall at 12:30, 15:00, 17:30, and 20:00 GMT on weekends.

When is the next match?

The fixture on 12 February 2026 is the next confirmed meeting in the Premier League. Both clubs also compete in domestic cups, but no date has been set for a potential League Cup or FA Cup encounter in the current season.

Bottom line: Fans in the UK can tune in at 8:00 PM GMT on 12 Feb 2026. For US viewers, it’s a 3:00 PM ET kick-off.

Where is Arsenal vs Brentford on TV?

UK TV broadcasters for Premier League matches

The December 2025 Arsenal 2-0 win was broadcast on ESPN UK (ESPN UK scoreboard). In the UK, Premier League rights are held by Sky Sports, BT Sport (now TNT Sports), and Amazon Prime Video. Matches at the 20:00 GMT slot often air on TNT Sports or Sky Sports’ Main Event channel.

Streaming options

Subscribers can stream via the broadcaster’s app (Sky Go, TNT Sports app, or Amazon Prime Video). International viewers should check local rights holders – for example, NBC Sports in the US and Optus Sport in Australia.

The catch

TV channel allocations change each season and vary by match. Always confirm on the club’s official website 48 hours before kick-off.

Who was the man of the match Arsenal vs Brentford today?

Ben White performance highlights

In the 3 December 2025 meeting at the Emirates, Ben White was named Man of the Match after scoring and putting in a solid defensive shift in the 2-0 win (OneFootball match coverage). The right-back also completed 92% of his passes and made three clearances.

Other candidates

Mikel Arteta’s side had several strong performers – Martin Ødegaard orchestrated attacks from midfield, while goalkeeper David Raya kept a clean sheet against his former club. But White’s all-round contribution earned the official award.

“It felt great to get the win and contribute with a goal. We knew Brentford would be tough, but we stuck to the plan.”

Has Arsenal ever won 7/0?

Arsenal’s joint-biggest Premier League wins

Yes – Arsenal have recorded two 7-0 victories in the Premier League: against Everton (11 May 2005) and Nottingham Forest (24 November 2018) (Arsenal club feature on biggest wins). That 7-0 margin is the club’s joint-biggest in the competition’s history.

7-0 victories in context

Neither 7-0 win came against Brentford – the Bees have never conceded 7 to Arsenal. The 4-0 result in March 2023 remains Arsenal’s heaviest defeat of Brentford in the modern era. For fans looking to gear up properly, the Arsenal 3rd Kit 25/26 offers a fresh look for matchdays.

Why this matters

Arsenal fans reliving past 7-0 routs should note those victories came against bottom‑half sides; Brentford’s organised defence makes a repeat less likely.

What is Arsenal’s biggest rivalry?

North London Derby with Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal’s fiercest and most historic rivalry is with Tottenham Hotspur, known as the North London Derby (Arsenal club culture guide). The fixture dates back to 1909 and carries intense local pride and league-position stakes.

Other notable rivalries

Matches against Chelsea and Manchester United are also considered high‑profile rivalries, driven by decades of title battles and memorable clashes. The Brentford fixture, while competitive, does not yet have derby status – though fans on both sides are beginning to treat it with extra edge given the recent head-to-head pattern.

9 head-to-head matchups in the Premier League era show one clear pattern: Arsenal have dominated, winning 6 of the last 7 meetings. But Brentford’s breakthrough 3-1 win on 1 January 2025 proved they can still upset the formbook.

Quotes from the rivalry

“It was a solid team performance. We knew they’d come with intensity, but we matched it and got the rewards.”

Ben White, after Arsenal 2-0 Brentford (Dec 2025) – OneFootball

“The 7-0 win against Everton in 2005 is one of the most memorable afternoons in our Premier League history – everything clicked that day.”

What’s next for both clubs

Arsenal’s 2025/26 title charge depends on maintaining their superior head-to-head record, especially ahead of the February 2026 clash. For Brentford, closing the gap against a top-four side is vital for survival and upward momentum. The Bees will look to exploit home advantage – and the lesson of their 2021 opening-day upset still lingers. For fans, the next chapter arrives on 12 February 2026.
