The company has taken over from Delaware North as the official caterer at the Emirates Stadium in north London. Legends Global, which caters to the AO Arena in Manchester, the OVO Arena in London’s Wembley, and Chelsea FC’s Stamford Bridge, will now handle all matchday and non-matchday food and beverage operations and hospitality at the Emirates Stadium beginning with the 2026-27 season.

Legends Global announced a revamp of premium hospitality at Emirates Stadium, including a new concept for its suites and lounges. It also stated that it will collaborate with local suppliers to introduce fans to north London’s varied food scene, while keeping and enhancing chef Raymond Blanc’s presence.
Arsenal Chief Operating Officer, Karen Smart, said, “We’re always looking for ways to improve the experience for everyone who visits our north London home, whether they’re here on matchday or for one of our many events throughout the year. We’re excited to build on our relationship with Legends Global and bring supporters and our community new and enhanced food, hospitality and service.”
Chris Bray, Legends Global’s president, Europe, commented, “We are delighted to be working with Arsenal. At Legends Global, our focus is on the supporter experience at the Emirates Stadium. Through investment in technology and genuine food innovation, we want to elevate every touchpoint of the matchday journey.
