Complete Guide to Securing North London Derby Tickets in 2026

One of the most intense football rivalries in the world is the North London Derby, and whenever Tottenham clashes with Arsenal, you can expect fireworks.

The Gunners have a considerably more successful history, especially in modern times, but Spurs would always argue about that after reaching the Champions League final in 2019.

Whenever these teams meet at the Emirates Stadium or at Tottenham Stadium, you can expect fireworks at the stadium. With the next fixture scheduled for the 22nd of February at the Tottenham Stadium, ticket demands are already high.

This comprehensive guide provides everything you need to know about securing North London Derby tickets, including match preview details, stadium seating arrangements, pricing information, and expert buying strategies for both Emirates Stadium and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium fixtures.

Emirates Stadium: Arsenal's Fortress

Arsenal’s home since 2006, the Emirates Stadium has provided England with one of the best places to watch a football match live.

Its 60,000 capacity makes it one of the biggest grounds in Europe when it was first opened, and it still is one of the most modern and electric grounds to watch a match, especially coming alive when it is the North London derby.

Stadium Seating Layout

The Emirates has four main stands, each of which combines to give every fan in the stadium a unique and impressive experience.

North Bank Stand: This is where you want to be if your plan is to watch a game surrounded by the most passionate Arsenal fans around the world.

This three-tier stand creates an intimidating atmosphere for visiting teams. Known for passionate chanting and displays, the North Bank embodies the spirit of Arsenal's traditional support. 

Clock End Stand: This stand was named after the former clock from Arsenal’s former home, Highbury. The Clock End houses away supporters in the southeast corner (blocks 20-22), creating an intense atmosphere when Tottenham fans visit. Family enclosures occupy blocks 25-30, offering a more relaxed environment.

East Stand and West Stand: This is where you get the best overall views of the pitch when you watch a football match at the Emirates.

The West Stand houses the directors' box, tunnel area, and technical areas at pitch level. In the middle tier, you will find the club level, where the luxury and hospitality magic happens, while the upper tier seats give comprehensive views of the entire playing area.

The best seats for you at the Emirates

For the best atmosphere, you should choose the North Bank Lower tier (blocks 1-8) and Clock End blocks 23-24, which places you among Arsenal's most passionate supporters.

A ticket could cost as much as £284, even when a team like Sunderland visits the Emirates.

For the best view, Club Level (blocks 41-84) should be your pick as it offers one of the best views in the stadium as well as some premium amenities, which understandably come at a higher price, with seats costing as much as £834 when a team like Chelsea visits.

For families, the dedicated family enclosures in Clock End blocks 25-30 offer an age-appropriate atmosphere and pricing.

Tottenham Hotspur Stadium: The Modern Marvel

Spurs home ground is understandably much younger than Arsenal’s stadium, and it has one of the best designs for a stadium in the world, making it one of the best places to watch a football match.

With a capacity of 62,850, it features innovative architecture and exceptional sightlines from every seat.

Stadium Seating Layout

South Stand: This holds the most hardcore and passionate Tottenham fans, with up to 17,500 supporters creating an imposing "wall of sound" inspired by Borussia Dortmund's Yellow Wall. If you want to be among the most passionate Tottenham fans, this is where you should sit.

North Stand: This is where Tottenham has designated for away fans in the lower tier (blocks 114-118), with approximately 3,000 seats allocated to visiting fans. Family sections occupy blocks 109-110 and 416-417 in the northwest corner, providing suitable environments for younger supporters.

East Stand and West Stand: This is the premium sideline seating in the stadium, with three-tier configurations. Middle tiers house hospitality and club-level experiences with exclusive lounges and dining facilities. These stands provide excellent pitch views and access to enhanced amenities. 

The best seats at the Tottenham Stadium

For the best atmosphere, the South Stand blocks across all rows immerse you in Tottenham's most vocal support section and cost up to £222 for Arsenal’s visit next month.

For the best view, East and West Stand middle tiers (200-level blocks) offer perfect elevation and premium facilities. Club-level seats provide luxury experiences with outstanding sightlines.

For the best value for money, the Northwest corner blocks 109-110 in the lower tier, and upper tier blocks 451-453 and 514-516 typically offer the most affordable pricing, with £238 good enough for a ticket around seat 110 on LocoTickets for Arsenal’s visit.

Tottenham vs Arsenal - February 22, 2026

The next game between these teams would be on February 22 2026, and that match comes at an important time of the season for both clubs as Arsenal looks to maintain their lead at the top of the EPL table and Tottenham look to earn a top-four place.

Current Context 

As of the 30th of January 2026, Arsenal sits at the top of the Premier League table, four points clear of Manchester City and Aston Villa, and they have not won any of their last three games in the competition.

Tottenham, on the other hand, sits 14th in the league standings, even though they have made the top eight of the Champions League.

First Derby results

Arsenal secured a commanding 4-1 win against Tottenham at the Emirates in the first derby of the season on the 23rd of November. The Gunners dominated proceedings, showcasing the tactical superiority that has defined their season under Mikel Arteta.

Spurs would be keen on avenging that loss when Thomas Frank’s side hosts Arsenal in their next match at their 62k capacity stadium, with their fans providing an intimidating atmosphere for them.
