Arsenal open the ballot for their Champions League night against Borussia Dortmund

Arsenal have set out how tickets will be sold for their Champions League league-phase home game against Borussia Dortmund, a night that brings the same two clubs back to Emirates Stadium after a final there in August.

When it is on

Arsenal host Borussia Dortmund in League Stage 5 at Emirates Stadium. Kick-off is 4am on Wednesday 25 November in Malaysia, which is the evening of Tuesday 24 November in London, with a 20:00 start.

The club has categorised it as a Category B fixture, and says all four home league-phase games are already covered by the Platinum and 23-game Gold season tickets.

The ballot

Seats for members with disability access go through a ballot rather than an open sale. The club’s own page says that “tickets for all home fixtures will be sold via a ballot system exclusively for Arsenal Members”.

The ballot opens at 10am on Friday 25 September and closes at 12pm on Monday 28 September, and the club states that applying early makes no difference to an entry’s chances. Everyone who enters is told the outcome by email, and the fixture then goes on sale from 10am on Wednesday 30 September.

Why some members cannot buy

A purchase embargo applies to this game. Anyone whose membership was bought after 24 June 2026 is not permitted to buy for it, and the club attributes that to the two sides having already met in the Emirates Cup.

The last meeting

That meeting was the final, at Emirates Stadium on 9 August, and Borussia Dortmund won it 3-2.
