So you’re trying to catch the latest Arsenal fixture updates, but something’s not working. Maybe the live feed isn’t loading, the kickoff time seems off, or you’re staring at a blank page wondering if you missed the game entirely. Don’t worry—you’re not alone. Let’s walk through the most common issues Arsenal fans face when tracking today’s matches, and I’ll show you how to fix them step by step.
Live Feed Not Loading or Stuck on “Loading”
This is probably the most frustrating one. You’ve clicked on the match page, the anticipation is building, and then… nothing. The spinner just keeps spinning. Before you refresh frantically (which often makes things worse), try these steps:
- Check your internet connection first. A quick test—open another tab and see if a different site loads. If it doesn’t, the issue is with your connection, not the page.
- Clear your browser cache. Over time, cached data can interfere with live content. Go to your browser settings, find “Clear browsing data,” and select cached images and files. Don’t worry—you won’t lose passwords or bookmarks.
- Disable browser extensions, especially ad blockers. Some ad blockers are aggressive and block live update scripts. Try whitelisting our site or temporarily disabling the extension.
- Try a different browser or device. If the feed works on your phone but not your laptop, you’ve narrowed it down to a browser-specific issue.
Wrong Kickoff Time or Date Displayed
You’ve checked the fixture list, but the time seems off—maybe it’s showing a different time zone, or the date doesn’t match what you expected. Here’s what’s likely happening:
- Time zone settings. Our site defaults to UK time (GMT/BST). If you’re in another region, the displayed time might not automatically convert. Check your device’s time zone settings and ensure they’re set correctly. Some browsers handle this automatically, others don’t.
- Fixture rescheduling. Arsenal matches can be moved for TV coverage, cup competitions, or other reasons. The fixture list on our site is updated manually based on official announcements from the Premier League, UEFA, and the FA. If a match was rescheduled recently, there might be a lag in updating our page. For the most accurate, real-time schedule, always cross-check with the official Arsenal website or the Premier League’s official site.
- Competition confusion. If you’re looking at the Premier League fixtures but the match is actually an FA Cup tie, the dates and times will obviously differ. Make sure you’re on the correct page for the competition. You can find all Arsenal fixtures organized by competition on our Arsenal Fixtures & Results hub.
Match Result Not Updating After Full-Time
The final whistle has blown, but the score on our page still shows 0-0 or the last update from the 75th minute. This is a common issue, and here’s why:
- Data feed delay. Our live updates come from a third-party data provider. There’s usually a 2–5 minute delay after the match ends before the final result is reflected. Be patient—it’s not broken, just catching up.
- Page not refreshed. If you’ve had the page open since before the match started, your browser might be showing a cached version. Hit the refresh button (or press F5/Cmd+R) to force a full reload.
- Match officially confirmed. Sometimes, matches aren’t considered “complete” until the referee’s report is filed. For cup ties that go to extra time or penalties, the update might take a bit longer.
Fixture Page Shows “No Upcoming Matches” When There Should Be One
This one can be alarming, especially if you know Arsenal are playing today. But don’t panic—it’s usually a simple fix:
- Check the date filter. Our fixture pages often have filters for “Upcoming,” “Today,” or “This Month.” Make sure you’re not accidentally viewing past matches or next month’s schedule.
- Season transition. During the summer break or the winter transfer window, there might genuinely be no fixtures scheduled. Arsenal’s season runs from August to May, with occasional breaks for international windows.
- Competition-specific page. If you’re on the FA Cup fixtures page but the match is a Premier League game, you won’t see it there. Navigate back to the main fixtures hub and select the correct competition.
Live Commentary or Stats Not Appearing
Sometimes the live match feed works, but the commentary box is empty, or the stats section shows all zeros. This usually points to a data source issue:
- Refresh the page once. A single refresh often resolves temporary data glitches.
- Check if the match has actually started. Pre-match coverage sometimes shows placeholder data until kickoff.
- Ad blockers again. Some filters block the JavaScript that powers live stats. Whitelist our domain in your ad blocker settings.
When to Call in a Specialist
Most issues can be solved with the steps above, but sometimes you need a human. Contact our support team if:
- The page shows a persistent error message (like “500 Internal Server Error” or “404 Not Found”).
- You’ve tried all the troubleshooting steps and the problem persists for more than 24 hours.
- You notice incorrect fixture data that could mislead other fans (wrong opponent, wrong date, wrong competition).
- You’re having trouble accessing the site entirely (it won’t load on any device or network).
Remember, matchday is about enjoying the game. If tech issues are getting in the way, take a step back, check the official channels, and come back to us after the final whistle for analysis and discussion.
