Arsenal have made their return to the Champions League after a six-year absence. The team had last competed in Europe's premier club competition during the 2016/17 season.
Following an impressive 2022/23 Premier League campaign, where they narrowly missed out on the title to Manchester City, the Gunners have secured their spot in the Champions League.
Under Mikel Arteta's management, Arsenal have been placed in Group B alongside Sevilla, PSV, and Lens. This appears to be a favorable draw, and the team should be confident about advancing to the knockout stages by finishing in the top two positions.
Their opening fixture will be against PSV, and it promises to be an exciting event in north London. However, there might be some confusion about the stadium's name on Champions League nights.
While Arsenal's home ground is typically called the 'Emirates' due to sponsorship, it will be referred to as the 'Arsenal Stadium' during Champions League matches.
This change is a result of UEFA regulations regarding stadium sponsors. UEFA does not recognize stadium sponsors, so the Emirates Stadium will adopt the name 'Arsenal Stadium' for Champions League fixtures, similar to how Manchester City's Etihad Stadium is referred to as the 'City of Manchester Stadium' in UEFA competitions.
