Arsenal fans are set for a long-awaited celebration after the Gunners clinched their first Premier League title in more than two decades and attention is already turning to when the trophy parade will take over north London.
Mikel Arteta’s side sealed the title in dramatic fashion, ending a 22-year wait since the iconic ‘Invincibles’ campaign of 2003/04.
Now, supporters can start planning their red-and-white takeover of the streets as the club prepares an open-top bus parade – with the potential for even more silverware to show off.
When is the Arsenal trophy parade?
Arsenal have confirmed that their Premier League trophy parade will take place on Sunday, May 31, 2026.
The date has been deliberately scheduled for the day after the Champions League final, where the Gunners face Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest.
That timing means the celebrations could be even bigger if Arteta’s side manage to secure a historic double.
Should Arsenal beat PSG at the Puskas Arena, both the Premier League and Champions League trophies will be paraded through north London. If not, the club will still go ahead with celebrations for their league triumph.
What time will the Arsenal parade start?
It’s been confirmed that the parade will start at 2pm on Sunday, giving supporters plenty of time to line the streets and soak up the atmosphere.
What route will the Arsenal parade take?
The recently confirmed route will follow an approximately 5-mile loop through Islington, passing through the likes of Highbury, Canonbury, and Upper Street. Starting by the Emirates Stadium, the parade will head down Holloway Road from Drayton Park before continuing along Seven Sisters Road. It will then turn down Blackstock Road before heading onto Mount Grove Road, Green Lanes, and Petherton Road. The bus will continue south down Beresford Road, Newington Green Road, and Essex road before turning onto Islington’s main high street, Upper Street. The parade will then head in the direction of Highbury and Islington station, turning onto Holloway Road and heading back to where it started near the Emirates Stadium.
Between 500,000 and a whopping 1 million supporters are expected to line the streets of North Londono to celebrate the victory. Islington Council will be implementing temporary parking restrictions and road closures during the event, so it is strongly advised that supporters do not drive to the event.
Arsenal’s latest triumph has been a long time coming. Their narrow 1-0 win over Burnley put them on the brink, before Manchester City’s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth confirmed the title heading to north London. It marks a defining moment in Arteta’s rebuild, transforming Arsenal from top-four hopefuls into champions and possibly European champions too.
For supporters, the parade promises to be more than just a celebration; it’s a release after years of near-misses, false starts and fierce competition at the top of the Premier League. And if Budapest goes their way, it could become one of the most iconic days in the club’s history.
