The legendary Wembley Stadium hosts the League Cup final on Sunday, between Arsenal and Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s men will try to win a trophy to ensure they do not have a blank season. For their part, the Gunners will want to establish their hegemony across the Channel, having only lost three times this season in all competitions.
At what time and on which channel to watch Arsenal – Manchester City in the League Cup final
The match between the Gunners and the Cityzens will be broadcast on beIN Sports 1, for subscribers, on Sunday March 22, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.
Arsenal, all-powerful leader
Neutralized in Leverkusen (1-1), Arteta’s players were able to overcome the obstacle of Bayer in the round of 16 of the Champions League (2-0 in the return match). They will face Sporting Portugal in the quarter-finals of the competition.
On Sunday, the Gunners have the opportunity to win their first title of the season, hoping for more. Undefeated since January 25 (2-3 against Manchester United), Arsenal has impressed this season. The Londoners remain on 4 victories in the Premier League (against Tottenham, Chelsea, Brighton and Everton).
Manchester City in full doubt
The heavy defeat conceded on the Real Madrid pitch (3-0) left its mark. The one received at home on Tuesday (1-2) against the same Merengue gave a glimpse of better days even if it was frustrating given the turn of the meeting (expulsion of Bernardo Silva in the 20th minute).
The Cityzens have the opportunity to smile again by succeeding Newcastle and winning the League Cup on Sunday. Pep Guardiola’s protégés had won this trophy four times between 2018 and 2021. 9 points behind Arsenal (with one game in hand) in the Premier League, Manchester City sees this final as probably their last opportunity to win a trophy this season, on the lawn of Wembley.
