Arsenal's Premier League title parade went ahead through Islington on Sunday June 1, 2026, the day after the men's first team lost the UEFA Champions League final to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties in Budapest. The parade, which Arsenal confirmed for Sunday from a 2pm start, celebrated the club's domestic league triumph. Huge crowds gathered in the borough for the open-top bus route through Islington streets, though the planned double celebration of a European title became a single one after Saturday's 1-1 draw was settled 4-3 by penalties in PSG's favour at the Puskas Arena.
Parade route and time
Arsenal confirmed the title parade for Sunday June 1, 2026, starting at 2pm and looping the club's home borough of Islington. The open-top bus route was published in advance to manage the expected crowds.
Single trophy, not the double
The parade celebrated the club's Premier League title only. Arsenal's men's first team had been knocked out of the Champions League final on penalties the night before in Budapest, narrowing the planned double celebration to a single one.
Champions League final 1-1
In Saturday's Champions League final at the Puskas Arena, Kai Havertz gave Arsenal a sixth-minute lead before Ousmane Dembélé equalised from the penalty spot. Extra time ended 1-1; Viktor Gyokeres came close to winning it late.
The shootout
PSG won 4-3 on penalties. Eberechi Eze dragged his attempt wide; David Raya saved from Nuno Mendes; with the shootout level at 3-3, Lucas Beraldo scored before Gabriel blazed over to send the trophy to Paris.
Domestic crown lifted
Arsenal's 2025-26 Premier League title is the club's first domestic league trophy in a generation. The Islington parade marked the public celebration after a season the club described as transformative.
