Historic Moment: London City Lionesses to Play Before First Sell-Out Crowd

On Sunday, March 15, 2026, London City Lionesses will face Arsenal at the CopperJax Community Stadium. For the London club, currently playing its first season in the top flight, the match marks a milestone — the stadium has sold out for the first time.

Following the international break, the WSL returns with London City Lionesses hosting their city rivals Arsenal. The match is a rematch of the opening fixture of the season, when the two sides kicked off the campaign on September 6, 2025. On that occasion, Arsenal cruised to a dominant 4:1 victory at the Emirates, leaving the newcomers with plenty to prove this time around.

Lack of Tillies

London City Lionesses will also be backed by a remarkable atmosphere, as their stadium is set to sell out for the very first time. The occasion is undoubtedly helped by the fact that it is a London derby — and by Arsenal’s famously large and loyal fanbase.

Both teams will be without their Australian players, who are currently competing at the Asian Cup. The match is scheduled for Sunday, March 15, with kick-off at 12:55 CET.
