Wolverhampton Wanderers will now host Arsenal at Molineux Stadium in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, on the new date of Wednesday, February 18, 2026. The club confirmed the change on Wednesday after Arsenal reached a cup final that was originally set for the same weekend as the game in March.
The evening match will kick off at 8:00 pm and will be shown live on Sky Sports for those who cannot make it to the stadium in person. This update follows a decision by the Premier League to move the game forward to avoid a busy run of matches later in the spring season.
According to the Arsenal ticketing office, supporters can expect their tickets to be sent out on Thursday, February 12, 2026. Local fans who already have tickets for the original March date should know that these remain valid for the new midweek slot in February.
Match changes like this are common when teams do well in cup competitions and need to find time to fit in all their league games. By playing the game earlier in February, both teams can make sure the match is finished before the final weeks of the football season begin.
