Pre-season

In February 2016, it was announced that Arsenal would play in the Major League Soccer All-Star Game at Avaya Stadium in San Jose, California in addition to a friendly against Mexican side Guadalajara three days later.[48] However, Arsenal later announced that the annual Emirates Cup would be cancelled for the second time in its history due to the extended absence of international players participating in Euro 2016 and "essential pitch reconstruction works" at the Stadium.[49]

Arsenal qualified for the Group Stage of the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League due to finishing second in the 2015–16 Premier League. This means that Arsenal have qualified for the UEFA Champions League for the 19th consecutive year. Following changes to UEFA qualification rules from the previous season, Arsenal, having previously been seeded in pot 1 for the Champions League draw as one of the top 8 ranked teams in UEFA, are instead placed into pot 2 for the 2016–17 UEFA Champions League group stage draw with the remainder of the highest seeded non-champions according to UEFA coefficient.
