Mikel Arteta and his Arsenal side have to wait a while longer to discover their opponents in the 2023/24 Champions League group stage, but the picture is beginning to take shape now that many domestic leagues have concluded.
Whilst this season's final between Manchester City and Internazionale takes place on Saturday night, the journey to join both clubs in the competition next term begins on June 27 in the preliminary round semi-finals before the first qualifying round comes into play from July 11.
Following three more qualification rounds the draw for the group stage will then take place in Istanbul, Turkey on Thursday, August 31 and having not played in Europe's premier club competition since 2017, all connected with the Gunners will be counting down the days until the ceremony.
