The multi-year agreement will see Legends Global bring its culinary and hospitality expertise to the club’s north London home from the start of the 2026/27 season.

Legends Global will deliver all matchday and non-matchday food and beverage operations at Emirates Stadium, as well as hospitality experiences across the venue.

Arsenal supporters can expect an enhanced menu offer across the stadium’s main concourse spaces, alongside a reimagining of premium hospitality experiences.

A series of new innovations will also be introduced across suites and lounges as part of the partnership.

Arsenal and Legends Global will continue to develop Emirates Stadium’s non-matchday meetings and events offer, further strengthening its position as one of London’s leading conference and events venues.

With a track record of working with local suppliers, Legends Global will bring the same approach to Arsenal, helping to shape a new food offer informed by the flavours and diversity of north London’s food scene.

The Legends Global team will also continue to support Arsenal’s established partnership with Michelin-starred chef Raymond Blanc.

Together, the ambition is to evolve the Emirates Stadium experience through sustainably sourced ingredients, high-quality hospitality, innovation and service.

Backed by its global expertise and network, Legends Global will invest in the continued training and development of the club’s food, beverage and hospitality teams.

As part of the programme, leaders from Arsenal’s front and back of house operations will join Legends Global’s culinary teams for Michelin-level training, designed to elevate service standards across the venue.

Karen Smart, Arsenal Chief Operating Officer, said: “We’re always looking for ways to improve the experience for everyone who visits our north London home, whether they’re here on matchday or for one of our many events throughout the year.

“We’re excited to build on our relationship with Legends Global and bring supporters and our community new and enhanced food, hospitality and service.”

Chris Bray, President, Europe at Legends Global, said: “We are delighted to be working with Arsenal. At Legends Global, our focus is on the supporter experience at the Emirates Stadium. Through investment in technology and genuine food innovation, we want to elevate every touchpoint of the matchday journey.

“This exciting new partnership is a real opportunity for us to build on everything that makes Arsenal who they are, and to create experiences that honour the club’s history while raising the bar for what supporters can expect in the future.”

The partnership marks a significant step in the continued development of Emirates Stadium’s hospitality, catering and events proposition, combining football, food innovation, local sourcing and premium guest experience.
