Hey there, fellow football fanatics and Arsenal faithful! If you were planning to catch the live action of the Gunners’ first pre-season match against AC Milan in Singapore, the final whistle has probably blown by now. That game at Singapore’s National Stadium kicked off at 7:30 PM local time today, Wednesday, July 23rd, which means it was 5:00 PM IST here in India. (Just to give you a quick time check, right now in Singapore it’s 6:04 PM SGT on July 23rd, and in the UK, it’s 1:04 PM BST on the same day.)
But fear not, missing the live broadcast doesn’t mean you have to miss out on seeing our beloved Gunners in action! There are still ways to get your Arsenal fix, including replays of the Milan game and live coverage of their upcoming fixtures.
How to Tune In (Or Catch Up!)
For us in India, a common spot to find these pre-season friendlies is often on various streaming platforms that carry sports content. Keep an eye on popular sports streaming services, as they often acquire the rights to showcase international club friendlies, making it always worth checking there.
However, a straightforward way to watch, especially for dedicated Gooners, is through the club’s dedicated platforms. You could snag a single match pass for the AC Milan game for about £6.99. Now, if you’re wondering about the cost in Indian Rupees, with the current exchange rate, £1 is roughly ₹117, so that’s around ₹818 for a single match.
The cool part about buying a pass directly from the club’s official sources is that even if you missed the live show, you get access to repeat showings every three hours afterward! Even though the live game is over, you can still plan to catch the replay later in the evening or even early tomorrow morning. A quick tip: ensure your club’s official application is updated to the latest version for the best viewing experience.
A heads-up on a few regional quirks: the live stream for the AC Milan game wasn’t available in Italy or Singapore due to broadcasting agreements. And if you’re in Spain or Hong Kong, the full Pre-Season Pass (which we’ll chat about next) won’t be accessible either. These restrictions are common in sports broadcasting.
For those watching from the UK, you also wouldn’t have found the game on traditional TV, but it was available to live-stream via the club’s official platforms for the same price. Replays would also be available at 3:30 PM, 6:30 PM, and 9:30 PM UK time. In the USA, sports networks that typically cover European football might have carried the match live.
The Best Value: Grab the Pre-Season Pass!
If you’re like me and want to devour every minute of Arsenal’s pre-season preparations, the most brilliant move is to grab the Pre-Season Pass directly from the club’s official platforms. It’s a steal at just £14.99 (approximately ₹1750, based on the current exchange rate of £1 to ₹117). This pass gives you access to all five of Arsenal’s pre-season games – yep, even the Milan one for replay – plus the four upcoming matches. It’s fantastic value for money if you’re keen to follow the team’s build-up to the new season.
What’s Next for Our Gunners?
Arsenal’s pre-season tour is just kicking into high gear! After their stint in Singapore, they’ve got some pretty exciting matches lined up, including a North London Derby far from home, before they head back to the Emirates.
Here’s a quick peek at the remaining pre-season fixtures. Remember, these times are in BST (British Summer Time), so for us in India, you’ll need to add 4 hours and 30 minutes to figure out the IST kick-off time:
- Sunday, July 27: Arsenal vs Newcastle United (Singapore) – Kick-off at 12:30 PM BST. That means it’s 5:00 PM IST here. Another Premier League clash, even if it’s just a friendly!
- Thursday, July 31: Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur (Hong Kong) – Kick-off at 12:30 PM BST. Yes, you read that right – a North London Derby in Asia! Get ready for some fireworks, even in a friendly setting. This will also be at 5:00 PM IST.
- Wednesday, August 6: Arsenal vs Villarreal (Emirates Stadium) – Kick-off at 6:00 PM BST. The Gunners will be back home for this one, starting at 10:30 PM IST.
- Saturday, August 9: Arsenal vs Athletic Club (Emirates Stadium) – Kick-off at 5:00 PM BST. This match is often part of the traditional Emirates Cup, serving as the final major test before the start of the Premier League season. That’s 9:30 PM IST for us.
Keep an eye out for Arsenal’s new faces too! Reports indicate players like Kepa Arrizabalaga, Martin Zubimendi, and Christian Norgaard are confirmed arrivals and are expected to feature prominently in these pre-season games. There’s even talk that Sporting CP’s Viktor Gyokeres might join the squad soon. It’s a fantastic chance to see how the new signings integrate and how the team’s tactics are shaping up under Mikel Arteta.
So, even if you missed the first whistle, there’s still plenty of pre-season excitement on the horizon. Get ready to cheer on the Gunners as they fine-tune for what promises to be a thrilling new campaign!
