Arsenal game could be moved at short notice because of Champions League

Last updated Mar 31, 2026

Arsenal’s next match against Everton could risk being postponed if the Gunners are called to play in the Champions League on a certain date. The team is currently scheduled to face Everton on March 15, but Friday’s Champions League draw could award Arsenal a match on March 17, leaving insufficient time to play both matches.

The Premier League was aware of the potential scheduling conflict and had already informed UEFA that Arsenal would not be available for a match on that date. However, no response from the governing body has yet been received, leaving uncertainty over whether the Gunners’ next Champions League match will be scheduled on another day.

Prepare for possible rescheduling

According to Express Sports, the Premier League has now advised Arsenal to prepare for the possibility that their match against Everton could be moved at short notice. Supporters were also alerted to the potential change, as many reportedly began planning their travel and attendance for the original date. Uncertainty will persist until the Champions League draw is completed and match dates are confirmed.

Focus remains on winning

Despite scheduling concerns, Arsenal’s priority will remain winning. The club will be focused on achieving a positive result against Everton, regardless of when the match is ultimately played. Maintaining momentum in the Premier League and European competitions is vital for Mikel Arteta’s side as they continue their campaign.
