EnglishWhat is Arsenal Canada?
Updated
Arsenal Canada is the official Arsenal supporters club for fans in Canada, and it runs on paid membership. If you want access to Arsenal home-match ticket ballots, Arsenal Canada branded merchandise, and a national community of Canadian Gooners, you join through one of its membership tiers. If you only want to follow Arsenal from Canada without tickets or club benefits, membership isn't required — the site is a hub for the supporters club itself, not a news or streaming service.
What membership includes
The site lists two tiers for the 26/27 season, both described as one-time payments:
| Tier | Price | What you get | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| 26/27 Full Membership | $65.00 (valid 2026-06-01 to 2027-05-31) | Access to ticket ballots for Arsenal home games; exclusive Arsenal Canada branded merchandise; 10% off Arsenal merchandise at Soccer World; 10% off at Arsenal Direct; access to the FPL League and Pick 'Em prediction competitions | Fans who want tickets plus merchandise discounts and the prediction competitions |
| 26/27 Ticketing Membership | $35.00 | Access to ticket ballots for Arsenal home games | Fans whose main goal is applying for home-match tickets |
The key difference is scope: the Ticketing Membership covers ticket ballots only, while Full Membership adds merchandise, retail discounts, and the FPL and Pick 'Em competitions. Both are framed as one-time payments for the season rather than recurring subscriptions.
How the ticket process works
Membership doesn't buy you a ticket directly — it lets you enter ballots for Arsenal home games at the Emirates. The site describes this as a request-and-application process with its own deadlines, and points members to a "Learn about the process" page and an FAQ for the details.
The upcoming applications list shows how timing works in practice. Each fixture has an application window that opens and closes well before the match:
- Arsenal v Hull City (Nov 7, 2026): ticket application deadline August 29, 5PM EST.
- Arsenal v Manchester City (Nov 28, 2026): applications open August 1.
- Arsenal v Manchester United (Dec 19, 2026): applications open September 1.
- Arsenal vs Sabah (Champions League): applications open September 14, 2026 and close November 21, 2026, for a match on January 27, 2027 at 20:00 BST at Emirates Stadium.
- Arsenal vs Ipswich Town, Brentford, and Newcastle (PL): applications open September 1 or October 8, 2026, with close dates listed as TBD.
Two practical takeaways: deadlines are set in EST, so check the time zone if you're applying from elsewhere in Canada, and some windows open months ahead of the match — missing the open date means missing the ballot.
Is it worth joining?
Join Full Membership if you plan to apply for tickets and also want the merchandise and discount benefits; the extra $30 over the Ticketing tier buys benefits you'd otherwise pay for separately at Soccer World or Arsenal Direct. Choose the Ticketing Membership if tickets are your only interest and you'd rather not pay for perks you won't use. Skip membership entirely if you're looking for match streams, news, or a free fan forum — the site presents itself as a membership-based supporters club, and the listed benefits are tied to paid tiers.
Before signing up, confirm the season dates work for you: Full Membership is valid from June 1, 2026 to May 31, 2027, so joining late in that window shortens the period you can use the ticket ballots and discounts.
