Arsenal Premier League trophy parade LIVE
A day 22 years in the making has finally arrived as Arsenal will celebrate the Premier League trophy with their supporters. The Gunners clinched the title 11 days ago, ending a long drought, as a result of Manchester City failing to beat Bournemouth and that night saw fans descend the streets of north London, partying until the early hours of the following morning.
In addition to the Premier League title, the club have confirmed the FIFA Women’s Champions Cup will also be on show during the Arsenal trophy parade following Renee Slegers side’s historic win over Corinthians earlier in the year. Spirits are still expected to be high despite defeat on penalties to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final yesterday evening.
Though the Gunners missed out on completing a first-ever Premier League and Champions League double, it is still a highly successful season for Mikel Arteta's team and the turnout should reflect that. Follow the trophy parade LIVE below with our dedicated match blog, featuring expert insight and analysis from Matt Verri and Sam Tabuteau in Islington.

Here is Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli speaking during the parade:
“It’s been an amazing season for us. They (the fans) have been with us the whole journey, now it’s amazing to share this moment and the trophy with them,” said the Brazilian.
“This is joy, to see them celebrating and we enjoy it as well.
“There are no words to describe this moment, this is for the fans, the staff, the players for everyone. We’ve been trying to give our best on the pitch for us and for them as well.
“To be here today is amazing we just need to enjoy it.”

Spoke to an officer and they said the scaffolding should only hold around three or four people at one time.
There was upwards of 50 trying to get up.

Arsenal fans turned north London red as thousands partied into the early hours of Wednesday morning (May 20) to celebrate the club’s first Premier League title in 22 years.
Fireworks were launched into the night sky outside the Emirates Stadium as crowds of jubilant supporters danced in the streets.
Hundreds of Gunners fans watched Manchester City draw with Bournemouth at the nearby Tollington pub to confirm their club’s first top-flight title in more than two decades.

Arsenal superfan Jeremy Corbyn urges respect at trophy parade

Jeremy Corbyn issued an appeal for people to show respect to each other at the Arsenal trophy parade which is expected to be attended by at least 500,000 fans.
The Gunners superfan and ex-Labour leader predicted that the event in north London was going to be a “great party”.
In a video message ahead of the parade on Sunday, he said: “Really enjoy it when you come.
“Treat each other with respect, treat everybody else with respect.
“Make sure there's no problems and no danger.”

Rice message
12:26 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Declan Rice has expressed his support for Gabriel and Eberechi Eze following Arsenal’s Champions League final defeat by Paris Saint-Germain.
The Gunners lost European football’s showpiece fixture in Budapest on Saturday night in agonising fashion, going down 4-3 on penalties after a hard-fought 1-1 draw at the Puskas Arena.
Gabriel sent the decisive spot-kick over the crossbar, needing to score with Arsenal’s fifth effort of the shootout in order to force sudden death after the pressure had been piled on by PSG defender and Brazil team-mate Lucas Beraldo.
Who has had the biggest trophy parade in Premier League history?
12:20 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
If judged by parade route length and distance, no other club can match the 9.3 mile-long trip taken by Liverpool last year to celebrate lifting the title for only the second time in the Premier League era.
Arne Slot’s side were witnessed by a reported 750,000 fans on Merseyside on a route that cannot be beaten by any other team given its council-approved path around the city and its surrounding areas — a feat that simply isn’t possible for a club like Arsenal based in London.
However, the Gunners have still expanded their planned route for 2026, with the club following a 2 mile route during the Arsene Wenger years that will be more than doubled this year with Arsenal set to travel 5.2 miles across North London to show off their shiny new trophy.
That will make it the second-longest Premier League trophy parade on record, although still some way behind Liverpool’s monster journey around their city to celebrate last year.
Arsenal fans are saying the same thing after Champions League final loss
12:15 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Arsenal fans expressed their enduring pride in the team after Saturday’s heartbreaking Champions League final loss, while they also fumed over the officiating.
The newly-crowned Premier League champions fell agonisingly short of a maiden European Cup triumph and famous trophy double in Budapest, going down 4-3 on penalties to holders Paris Saint-Germain following a tense 1-1 draw after extra time.
It was a gut-wrenching end to what was so nearly the greatest season in Arsenal’s history, though supporters were quick to rally round the team in recognition of what has still been a superb campaign that will culminate in them celebrating their first Premier League title for 22 years with an open-top bus parade in north London on Sunday.
Luis Enrique explains why Arsenal will win the Champions League soon
12:10 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Arsenal’s dreams of winning on Europe’s biggest stage for the first time in their 140-year history ended in agony following a 4-3 shootout defeat, with both Eberechi Eze and Gabriel missing their spot-kicks.
It is back-to-back European Cups for PSG and Luis Enrique, and the manager was keen to note Arsenal's achievements throughout the season after a close-fought game.
“Arsenal are getting closer and closer,” he told TNT Sports. “This team adds a bit more attacking power and desire. This team can have everything. It will hurt tonight.”
Will Arsenal’s title parade be bigger than Carnival this year?
12:05 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Press Box PR have delved into the data and the short answer is no, and for good reason.
Around 2 million people can attend Notting Hill Carnival each year and it’s simply not a good idea to try and house that many people around the Emirates and the planned title route, even the 2026 route that has been expanded to meet increased demands this year.
If Arsenal did want to put on a title parade with the potential to be “bigger than Carni” then their parade route would have to be closer to 20 miles in order to keep the crowds comfortable and safe.
Crucial change Mikel Arteta must make after Champions League final loss
12:00 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Mikel Arteta has taken Arsenal so far - to within two better penalties of the greatest season in the club's history.
Now, though, he must tweak his side and his gameplan so that perfection is not required.
There must be more of a margin for error so that every loose challenge at the back or misplaced pass on the counter-attack does not carry such huge significance.

Arsenal lose Champions League final
11:55 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
It is a day of positives, but we have to address the negative firstly.
Arsenal have lost the Champions League final, beaten Paris Saint-Germain on penalties.
Gabriel missed the crucial penalty in the shootout, with the scores level at 1-1 after 120 minutes, to confirm the French giants as back-to-back winners.
Kai Havertz’s sixth-minute opener was cancelled out by Ousmane Dembele’s second-half penalty in normal time.
Arsenal fans arrive
11:50 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Arsenal fans have made an early start for today’s trophy parade, showing up a few hours before the 2pm BST start time
How long will the parade last?
11:45 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
The parade, which should last for around two hours, takes place on Sunday because many of Arsenal’s World Cup-bound stars are due to be released to their respective international squads on Monday.
The start time for the parade means that many of those fans in Budapest for the final will likely miss out, unless they have managed to secure early return flights to get them back to London in time.
What to expect
11:40 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
There will be four open-top buses in total, including a lead-off ‘Champions’ truck featuring DJs. The Arsenal players will be in the lead bus, with the men’s team staff to follow in a second and then another featuring the Arsenal Women’s squad, who will parade their FIFA Women's Champions Cup trophy.
The fourth bus will feature fans from Arsenal in the Community programmes plus other Arsenal staff who have been nominated for their outstanding contributions to the club.
“All of the buses will move continually along the route,” Arsenal said. “Wherever you choose to stand, you will have a similar experience to the rest of the route. We encourage supporters to spread out along the full route so that everyone can enjoy the celebrations safely.”
Expected attendance
11:35 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
The Arsenal Supporters' Trust (AST) have claimed that the club and Metropolitan Police - who will deploy more than 500 officers to police the parade - are expecting at least 500,000 supporters to line the 9km-long route, with the possibility for more than a million people to turn up in total.
Parade route
11:30 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
Arsenal’s ‘Champions’ trophy parade will begin on Holloway Road.
The parade will then continue down Seven Sisters Road and follow Blackstock Road before turning onto Mount Grove Road, Green Lanes, Petherton Road, Beresford Road, Newington Green Road and Essex Road.
It will then turn onto Upper Street. There will be no trophy lift and the buses will not stop, in order to ensure that fans spread evenly across the route for safety reasons, while the club shop will be closed along with the Emirates Stadium, Drayton Park and the surrounding roads.
How to watch
11:25 , Tashan Deniran-Alleyne
TV channel and live stream: Fans unable to make the parade will be able to watch live coverage on Sunday via Arsenal’s official website, app, YouTube channel and Facebook and X accounts.
