Arsenal vs Chelsea is a London derby between two of the highest-profile clubs in the world – and here’s how to watch.

Where to find Arsenal vs Chelsea

The Premier League is shown in the US on NBC platforms. While select matches each week are exclusively shown on Peacock, big games make it to TV on USA Network or NBC over-the-air local affiliates. Arsenal-Chelsea is almost a lock to make it to linear TV. In addition, Spanish telecasts are shown on Universo or Telemundo.

History of the Arsenal vs Chelsea rivalry

Arsenal and Chelsea as a rivalry fixture goes back to 1907. They’ve met in major FA Cup, Champions League, Europa League and League Cup games in addition to annual Premier League/First Division league matches.

Despite both being high-profile London teams, with many big matches between them over the years, neither club necessarily considers the other their main rival. Arsenal’s North London Derby with Tottenham and Chelsea’s battles with neighbors Fulham, as well as Liverpool, often take precedence.
