The 2026–27 season is Arsenal Women's Football Club's 40th season of competitive football. The club will participate in the Women's Super League, the FA Cup and the Champions League. Due to changes in the competition's format, Arsenal will not participate in the League Cup for the first time since the competition began.

On 12 May 2026, the club announced that Emirates Stadium will host all WSL home games for the second year in a row, along with any Champions League games from the quarter-finals onwards. League phase and knockout phase play-offs games of the Champions League, and domestic cup fixtures will continue to be played at Meadow Park.
