Arsenal v AC Milan: Everything You Need to Know About Watching Live
If you’re itching to see Arsenal back in action this summer, you’ll have to look beyond your usual TV channels. Arsenal’s much-anticipated pre-season friendly against AC Milan on July 23, 2025, is available only by streaming via Arsenal v AC Milan broadcast on Arsenal.com or through the official club app. This match is the opener for Arsenal’s five-game tour, giving fans the first glimpse of their squad’s pre-Premier League form.
The club isn’t broadcasting this game on TV, so forget flicking through traditional sports channels. Instead, fans will need to head online – and there’s a small fee. The cost to watch is £6.99, which not only gets you a pass to the live stream but also unlocks all the extras: complete pre-match buildup, analysis, and post-game breakdown. If you're the kind who likes analysis and behind-the-scenes stories, this coverage delivers plenty of that.
How to Stream the Match: Requirements and Restrictions
Before you settle in for kickoff, double-check your tech. Accessing the match through the club’s official app means making sure it’s been updated – at least to iOS version 8.1.7 or Android version 11.11.10. Attempting to stream with older app versions could leave you locked out or dealing with pixelated screens, so don’t leave updates until five minutes before kickoff.
The match is available globally for most fans, but there are a few exceptions. Due to regional broadcasting rules, supporters in Spain, Italy, Singapore, and Hong Kong won’t be able to access the stream through the app or website. So if you’re planning to watch from one of these countries, you’ll want to look for local options – although, in this case, no alternatives seem to exist due to exclusive rights deals elsewhere.
The live kick-off is set for 12:30 BST, so plan your day accordingly if you want to catch every minute. For those waking up early or tuning in from different time zones, the stream includes plenty of pre-game content to get you hyped. Arsenal’s approach to pre-season coverage sets a trend among elite football clubs, putting more control (and revenue) in club hands rather than third-party broadcasters.
After tackling AC Milan, Arsenal’s summer tour moves on with matches against Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur. Each of those games promises more streaming action, so Gunners around the world should be ready for a few busy weeks of digital football.
In short: no cable, no Sky Sports, no BT—just Arsenal’s own platform. And with the roster shaping up for another shot at Premier League glory, there’s plenty for supporters to talk about before the real business kicks off in August.
