Barcelona–Arsenal women match moved to 12 November in Spain
Barcelona's Women's Champions League meeting with Arsenal has moved to 12 November in Spain because of the general strike planned for the original date, 11 November. Arsenal confirmed that the Nou Camp venue and 18:45 CET kickoff remain unchanged. For viewers in Vietnam, the revised start is 00:45 on 13 November.

Ticket arrangements
Tickets purchased for the original date remain valid for the rescheduled fixture. Arsenal say supporters who can no longer attend are entitled to a full refund on their match tickets through the club's linked form, while further tickets remain available. The notice addresses admission tickets; it does not promise reimbursement for transport or accommodation. The local Thursday evening start also falls on Friday in Vietnam. The change concerns the women's teams, not a men's fixture.
The wider competition
UEFA's official 2026/27 guide lists Arsenal and Barcelona among the 18 league-phase clubs. Each faces six different opponents, with three home matches and three away, rather than playing three teams twice. Results feed into one table, awarding three points for a win and one for a draw. The leading four qualify directly for the quarter-finals; places five to 12 enter play-offs, and the bottom six are eliminated. The amended date therefore changes one fixture's scheduling without altering qualification rules or determining either team's progress. Arsenal's specific announcement should be distinguished from the general 10–11 November matchday window still shown in UEFA's season guide.
