Arsenal Draws Barcelona in 2026/27 Women’s Champions League Group Stage

Arsenal has been drawn into a group that includes reigning champions Barcelona for the 2026/27 Women’s Champions League. The Gunners will also play OL Lyonnes, Benfica, Paris FC, HB Koge and Inter Milan in a six‑match league phase. The draw pits Arsenal, who reached last season’s semi‑finals, against the holders early in the competition, creating a high‑profile opening fixture. Meanwhile, Chelsea and Manchester City have also received challenging group assignments, though the specific opponents are not listed in the report. The grouping means Arsenal will need to prepare for a tough schedule from the outset, balancing domestic commitments with the demands of European competition.
