Arsenal fans will line the streets of north London to celebrate their first Premier League title success in 22 years at the end of the month.

The Gunners were confirmed as champions with a game to spare after Manchester City ’s 1-1 draw with Bournemouth .

Their long wait is over – and there could be a double to celebrate yet with Mikel Arteta ’s side also chasing glory in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain .

Arsenal face the defending champions in Budapest on Saturday, 30 May.

Whether it is to celebrate one trophy or two, Arsenal’s trophy parade has been confirmed to take place on Sunday, 31 May in north London.

Proceedings will be underway from 2pm that afternoon .

Arsenal’s open-top bus trophy parade will take place back in the capital the day after the Champions League final , regardless of whether they return from Hungary with the trophy in their possession.

It will mean a very quick turnaround for the squad, staff and Arsenal supporters making the journey out to Budapest.

‘This will be a major public event, and we anticipate large numbers of supporters will turn out in the local area,’ a statement from Arsenal confirmed.

‘We hope you are able to join our celebrations on the day. Local residents and businesses should be advised that the event will lead to disruption across the borough that will involve road closures and parking suspensions. You may also find it difficult to move normally around the borough or pass through the route.

‘We will communicate more details on the parade closer to the time, which will only be published on our website and other official Arsenal channels.’

Arsenal have so far only confirmed a ‘special parade’ will take place ‘around our home borough of Islington’ with more details to follow in due course.

But similar plans have been put in place in recent years. Arsenal missed out on the title on the final day of the season in 2023-24 with Islington Council drawing up a route ahead of schedule.
