Slavia Praha vs Arsenal: Kickoff, Venue, Tickets and Team News

Updated November 4, 2026: Slavia Praha hosts Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, November 4. Kickoff is at 9:00 p.m. Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in Prague, or 8:00 p.m. UTC on the same date. The match is scheduled for Eden Arena, also known as Fortuna Arena, at U Slavie 1540/2a in Prague’s Vršovice district. UEFA’s match page now lists the referee crew. The fixture remains upcoming in the official schedule, so a final score is not yet confirmed.

This is Matchday 4 of the 2026/27 Champions League league phase. Slavia’s latest matchday notice says the stadium is sold out, with no matchday ticket sales at the venue. Supporters should check the club’s official ticket app for any released seats and confirm travel arrangements before leaving. UEFA’s match center is the place to check for official lineups, live updates, and the result.

When and where is Slavia Praha vs Arsenal?

UEFA’s fixture schedule says kickoffs are 9:00 p.m. CET unless another time is shown; this match has no alternate time listed. Prague is on standard time on November 4, so CET is UTC+1 and the local start is one hour after the UTC time. Slavia’s fixture listing and Arsenal’s traveling-supporter guide also give a 9:00 p.m. local kickoff. One sentence in Slavia’s matchday notice contains a date typo, but UEFA’s fixture page and Slavia’s own match listing confirm Wednesday, November 4.

What is new in the official match information?

UEFA’s match-information page identifies Eden Arena Prague and lists the officials. Tobias Stieler of Germany is the referee. Lasse Koslowski and Jonas Weickenmeier are the assistant referees; Sören Storks is the video assistant referee, Johann Pfeifer is the assistant video assistant referee, and Harm Osmers is the fourth official. These are the officials UEFA has assigned to this fixture.

The official squad page is available, but it is not the same as a matchday starting lineup. At the time checked for this update, UEFA’s match pages did not display the starting XIs. Check the UEFA match center close to kickoff for the confirmed teams rather than relying on predicted lineups.

What team news has been confirmed?

In Slavia’s November 3 pre-match press conference, head coach Jindřich Trpišovský said Lukáš Provod had returned to training and was cleared to play, but would not start. He described the wider availability picture as similar to the previous match and said a player he referred to as “Angi” was a question mark after missing part of a training session before training again the following day. These comments describe the coach’s assessment before the match; they do not confirm the final squad or starting lineup.

Slavia’s coach also said he wanted his team to be more dangerous when moving forward and to improve its play after regaining possession. That is the coach’s stated aim, not a prediction of how the match will unfold. The official pages reviewed for this update did not provide a confirmed Arsenal starting XI or a complete match-specific Arsenal availability list. UEFA’s match center should be treated as the source for the final lineups.

For recent league-phase context, Slavia drew 2-2 away to Fenerbahçe in its third match after losing to Lens and Sabah. Arsenal drew 2-2 at Bayern München after wins over Napoli and Lille. The clubs also met in Prague on November 4, 2025, when Arsenal won 3-0. Those results provide context only; they do not determine the outcome of this fixture.

Are tickets still available?

Slavia’s matchday notice describes the game as sold out and says tickets will not be sold at the stadium on matchday. The club’s ticketing page currently marks standard availability as sold out, while noting that some capacity may be released back into its sales system. Check Slavia’s official app for any legitimate release. The club says each attendee, including children, needs a valid ticket, and that its app is the only official sales channel for this match. It cannot guarantee tickets bought elsewhere are genuine.

Slavia says a ticket can be transferred in its app to another fan with a verified account up to two hours before kickoff. Ticket QR codes may appear 12 to 24 hours before the match, so holders should check that the code is visible before traveling. Arsenal’s away-supporter guide says its allocation is not available for purchase and advises fans not to travel without a ticket.

How should supporters get to Eden Arena?

Slavia recommends public transportation. The Praha-Eden railway station is beside the stadium, and the S9 normally runs in both directions every 30 minutes. The club says extra capacity is planned on trains from Prague’s main station arriving at Eden at 7:58 p.m. and 8:27 p.m. Prague local time. After the match, doubled trains are scheduled to depart Eden at 10:57 p.m. and 11:27 p.m. toward Praha hlavní nádraží. Check the live rail timetable before setting out, especially if you need a connection after the game.

The club has also announced free Slavia Express buses from Letňany and Černý Most, and from Zličín via Smíchovské nádraží. Return buses are scheduled for 11:15 p.m. and 11:35 p.m. from the Slavia–Nádraží Eden stop. Because construction has moved the Smíchov pickup point to Nádražní Street, check Slavia’s matchday notice for the exact stop before boarding. Slavia also says services at the Slavia transit stop will be strengthened after the match, including tram 22 and bus 136. Parking near the ground is limited; a park-and-ride site with a transit or shuttle connection may be more practical than driving directly to the stadium.

Eden Arena is scheduled to open at 7:30 p.m., 90 minutes before kickoff. Arsenal’s away guide says visiting supporters enter through Gate 3 and that bags larger than A4 size are not allowed. Slavia says it plans a show celebrating the club’s 134th anniversary about 10 minutes before kickoff, followed by a minute of silence. Build in time for security checks and use the entrance printed on your ticket.

Where can you watch the match?

Broadcast rights depend on the viewer’s country. UEFA’s 2026/27 broadcast-partner list names the official services by territory. Open that list, select the relevant country, and confirm the fixture with the local broadcaster before kickoff. UEFA.com, UEFA.tv, and the Champions League app provide competition coverage, but live-match availability varies by location.

Has a final result been confirmed?

No final score is shown in the official fixture listing at the time of this pre-match update. Once the match begins, use UEFA’s match center for the confirmed starting lineups, live match events, and final score. This article is a pre-match update, not a match report.
