🇬🇧 Emirates Cup: TV channel, kick-off times and live streaming in the UK

The Emirates Cup does not belong to a federation: it belongs to a club. It is a tournament organised by Arsenal, in its own stadium, with the opponents it chooses to invite. That makes it a different object from everything else on the calendar: there is no draw, no continental rulebook, no qualification to win. The owner of the ground decides the date, the format and the teams that come, and plays in the competition it organises. For the viewer that means watching something other than a result: these games are there to see a squad take shape, new signings play together for the first time, and a manager try in front of a crowd what he has only tested behind closed doors. The result itself will count for nothing by the following week.
