Arsenal are set to play two matches in the Dubai Super Cup over the next week, a friendly mid-season competition to help Mikel Arteta’s squad build up their competitive sharpness ahead of the return of the Premier League from the World Cup break.

First, the Gunners take on Lyon on Thursday, December 8th at 15:30 GMT, then AC Milan on Tuesday, December 13th at 14:00 GMT.

Both games will be played at the Al Maktoum Stadium, and tickets are still available for those in Dubai or the local area who wish to catch the action live – with details here.

For most of the rest of us, Arsenal will be streaming the game on the club website. They’re selling match passes here at £5.99 each or £9.99 for both games.

Some regions will not show the two games on Arsenal.com, as follows:

  • Arsenal vs Lyon is unavailable in the Middle East and North Africa region, France, Monaco, and Andorra
  • Arsenal vs AC Milan is unavailable in the Middle East and North Africa region, and Italy

There may be other local services broadcasting the games in those regions, so keep an eye out if that’s relevant to you.
