Is Arsenal v Borussia Dortmund on TV? Channel, kick-off time and how to watch pre-season friendly

Arsenal continue their pre-season against Borussia Dortmund in the Emirates Cup.

Mikel Arteta’s side suffered a blow after Vinicius Jr snubbed the opportunity to join the Gunners and opted for a long-term extension at Real Madrid.

And a 3-1 defeat to Real Betis left Arteta searching for answers just over a week out from the traditional curtain raiser against Manchester City in the Community Shield.

With Dortmund and Como to come, Arsenal will hope to gain momentum in their last week before facing the FA Cup holders in Cardiff.

While Arteta will be pushing for new additions and alternative targets after missing out on Vinicius Jr. Here’s everything you need to know about the pre-season friendly against the Bundesliga giants:

When is Arsenal vs Borussia Dortmund?
