Arsenal key dates for 2024/25 season: Transfer window, deadline day, Premier League fixture release and more

Every key date for Arsenal to look out for in the upcoming 2024/25 season including all transfer window details plus Premier League and Champions League fixtures releases.

The Gunners registered a largely successful season in 2023/24 but Mikel Arteta failed to add another title to Arsenal’s trophy cabinet. He is still on one trophy since replacing Unai Emery in charge at Emirates Stadium back in December 2019 after securing the FA Cup in 2019/20.

Arsenal ran Manchester City the closest for the Premier League title in 23/24 but ultimately fell two points shy. Arteta will now go again in his bid to bring the top-flight title back to N5 for the first time since 2003/04. He will also attempt to go further in the Champions League.

Arteta guided Arsenal to the quarter-finals of UEFA’s elite club competition for the first time since 2010 in the final season with the old Champions League format as changes coming in 24/25. So, with that in mind, here is every key 24/25 season date for Arsenal to look out for.
