Both teams arrive with perfect records, making this match valuable. Arsenal will face Girona on Saturday and won 4-1 in Montilivi. Real Betis defeated Olympique de Lyon by 4-0 in their last pre-season game, as well as beating Almería with one goal difference. The friendly in Dublin gives them the opportunity to maintain that positive momentum, although the main value lies in the structure, fitness and timing rather than the result itself.
When and where is Arsenal vs Betis?
The match between Arsenal and Real Betis will take place on August 5 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. The kick-off time is 12:30 MEX, 14:30 EE.UU (EST) and 20:30 ESP.
Which TV and streaming options are available?
Broadcast access varies by country. In the United States, fans can watch on CBS Sports Network and FOX Deportes, with fuboTV and FOX One listed as streaming options. In Mexico, Claro Sports is the available option. In Spain, no official broadcast was confirmed when this article was written.
This split matters because it changes the viewing experience depending on where you are. Fans in the United States have the broadest set of options, while viewers in Spain are still waiting for confirmation. For a summer match, that is a familiar wrinkle, but it also shows how international these pre-season games have become.
On the field, the attraction is straightforward. Arsenal and Real Betis have both won the preparation matches mentioned here, so the game should offer a sharper test than a typical friendly. Neither side needs a result to define its summer, but both will want to keep the positive run going. In August, that is often the most useful sign of all.
