London Football Trip Guide: Clubs, Kick-off Times and Getting Around

Plan a football weekend in London: the city's Premier League clubs and their grounds, how weekend kick-off times work, seeing two matches in one trip, getting around on the Tube and stadium tours.

London's football clubs

No city has more top-flight football than London. Arsenal (Emirates Stadium) and Tottenham Hotspur (Tottenham Hotspur Stadium) are in the north, Chelsea (Stamford Bridge), Fulham (Craven Cottage) and Brentford (Gtech Community Stadium) in the west, Crystal Palace (Selhurst Park) in the south and West Ham United (London Stadium) in the east. Wembley Stadium hosts cup finals and England internationals.

How weekend kick-off times work

Premier League weekends usually spread matches across Saturday (12:30, 15:00 and 17:30) and Sunday (14:00 and 16:30), with some games on Friday or Monday nights. Saturday 15:00 matches are not shown on UK television. Final times are confirmed several weeks ahead once the TV picks are made.

Two matches in one trip

With so many clubs in one city, it is often possible to see a Saturday and a Sunday match — or even two on the same day if the kick-off times allow. Because times can change, leave at least four hours between matches on the same day and allow for travel across the city.

Getting around

Every London ground is reachable by Tube, Overground or train. Tap in and out with a contactless card or phone — it works like a travel card and caps your daily fare. Trains near stadiums are very busy after the match, so give yourself extra time.

Stadium tours and museums

Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham and Wembley all run stadium tours on non-match days, often including the dressing rooms, the tunnel and the pitchside. They are a great way to fill the day before or after your match.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see two Premier League matches in one London weekend?
Often, yes. With seven or more London clubs, a Saturday and Sunday double is usually possible. Check the confirmed kick-off times before you book.
What is the best area to stay for London football?
Central London around King's Cross works well for Arsenal and Tottenham, and west London around Earl's Court or Hammersmith suits Chelsea, Fulham and Brentford.
