You’ve all stood behind us and willed us on to this point, and we cannot wait to lift the trophy at Selhurst Park in front of our travelling supporters after the final whistle this weekend.
The parade follows our UEFA Champions League Final against Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest on Saturday 30 May, at 5pm (UK time). Should we be successful in this game, our parade will also celebrate this historic triumph.
This will be a major public event, and we anticipate large numbers of supporters will turn out in the local area. 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.
