Los Angeles Arsenal fans looking for the Arsenal vs Dortmund match should start with one important timing check: Borussia Dortmund’s official site listed Arsenal against BVB at Emirates Stadium on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at 14:00 BST, which was 6:00 a.m. in Los Angeles. Because today is Monday, August 10, 2026, a true live screening is no longer a standard assumption; the useful plan is to verify whether The Fox and Hounds in Studio City is showing a replay, highlights, or another Arsenal-related broadcast. The pub is still the strongest first call for Valley Gooners, but the final decision depends on its posted sports schedule and direct confirmation.

The Fox and Hounds in Studio City
The Fox and Hounds is the anchor venue for this search because its own site lists 11100 Ventura Blvd, Studio City, CA 91604, a phone number, two projector screens, 15 HDTVs, and live soccer among its core offerings. Arsenal Los Angeles also names The Fox & Hounds Pub as the Valley home for Arsenal supporters, with the group’s presence there dating back years. That makes it the most relevant first stop, not a random sports bar pick.
The tradeoff is geography. Studio City works well for the Valley, Hollywood-adjacent fans, and groups willing to meet along Ventura Boulevard, but it can be a slow ride from the Westside, South Bay, or Eastside during normal evening traffic. For a group, choose Fox and Hounds when atmosphere matters more than minimum travel time. If only one friend is a committed Arsenal supporter, a closer backup may be more practical.
Arsenal Los Angeles Supporter Branches
Arsenal Los Angeles lists several watch communities across the metro area: LA Gooners at Joxer Daly’s in Culver City, Eastside Gooners at The York in Highland Park, Arsenal Los Angeles at The Fox & Hounds in Studio City, and Beach City Gooners at The Auld Dubliner in Long Beach. That distribution matters because Los Angeles is not one pub market. Your best venue is often the one your group can reach without losing the first half.
For a passionate group, the supporter-branch fit is stronger than simply choosing the largest screen. Fox and Hounds gives the most direct link to the locked venue and Valley Arsenal crowd, while Culver City or Highland Park can save real time for fans west or east of the 110. If the pub’s event page does not explicitly list arsenal vs dortmund, call before leaving and ask whether they will show a replay or archived stream.
BVB’s August 9 Emirates Cup Listing
Borussia Dortmund’s official announcement said the Arsenal friendly was part of BVB’s preseason preparation and kicked off at Emirates Stadium on Sunday, August 9, 2026, at 14:00 BST. For Los Angeles readers on Monday, August 10, that confirms the key failure mode: a bar may still have Arsenal programming, but it should not be described as a coming live kickoff unless the venue has scheduled a replay or delayed showing.
This changes the pacing of the night. Instead of arriving at a fixed live kickoff, plan around confirmation windows: check the pub’s events page, scan the club or supporter-group channels, then call the venue if the online listing is missing. A verified replay can still be social and useful for a group, but it is different from a live morning crowd, and expectations should be set before anyone orders a rideshare.
Ventura Boulevard Arrival Plan
The address places The Fox and Hounds on Ventura Boulevard in Studio City, a corridor where curb parking, rideshare drop-offs, and restaurant traffic can all compete. For an easy evening plan, pick a meetup time before the intended broadcast window and avoid making the first person hold seats for a large group without venue permission. If accessibility, seating, or sound matters, make that part of the call instead of hoping the room layout works on arrival.
Groups should also decide whether they are staying for the full match, condensed highlights, or only the social portion. A replay night may not command the same wall-to-wall energy as a live Premier League morning, so seating can be easier, but audio priority may be less certain. The practical move is to ask whether the match will have sound, which screens are assigned, and whether any private event affects the room.
Metro B Line to North Hollywood
For transit-minded fans, LA Metro’s schedules page is the official starting point. Metro lists the B Line as running between Union Station and North Hollywood, and the G Line as Chatsworth to Canoga Park to North Hollywood. The Fox and Hounds is not directly inside a rail station, so most riders should expect a final bus, rideshare, or short local transfer from the North Hollywood area rather than a door-to-door train trip.
The benefit of using Metro is predictability across central Los Angeles, especially if your group is coming from Downtown or Hollywood and does not want to manage parking. The drawback is the last-mile step, which can feel less convenient after a late evening. Check the latest Metro schedule before leaving, confirm return service, and keep a rideshare backup ready if the match or post-match conversation runs longer than planned.
Joxer Daly’s or The York Backup
If Studio City is too far, Arsenal Los Angeles gives two practical alternatives inside the city pattern: Joxer Daly’s in Culver City for the Westside and The York in Highland Park for the Eastside. These are not interchangeable with Fox and Hounds for the locked venue angle, but they are useful backup logic for a group spread across Los Angeles. A shorter trip can matter more than a marginally better pub fit after work.
Use the same verification standard for backups. Do not assume every Arsenal-affiliated pub will show a preseason replay, carry the same streaming access, or keep sound on for a non-live broadcast. Call or check social posts before committing. If none can confirm the Dortmund match, shift the plan to an Arsenal supporters meet-up for the next confirmed fixture rather than sending people across town for uncertain television.
Call The Fox and Hounds Before Leaving
The final action is simple: contact The Fox and Hounds directly at the number on its site, then check its events and sports schedule the same day. Ask three concrete questions: whether Arsenal-Dortmund is being shown, whether it is live, replay, or highlights, and whether the match will have sound. If the answer is uncertain, ask what Arsenal or international soccer programming is confirmed for that evening instead.
This is also the accessibility and comfort checkpoint. Ask about step-free entry, table availability, crowded areas, and whether staff can place your group where everyone can see a screen. For a mild Los Angeles evening, build in a few extra minutes for Ventura Boulevard arrivals and group coordination. The best plan is the one that confirms the broadcast before travel, then keeps a neighborhood backup ready.
