Updated 24 September 2026
Arsenal lead Tottenham in league meetings with 75 wins to Spurs’ 55 across 178 Football League and Premier League matches, with 48 draws. Across the complete 178-match ledger, Arsenal have scored 284 league goals to Tottenham’s 242. The first league meeting came in 1909, when Arsenal were still Woolwich Arsenal; Tottenham’s own history treats the 15 January 1921 First Division match as the first “proper” North London derby after Arsenal had moved north.
This is TMJ’s league-only rivalry ledger: the current head-to-head, every completed league result, the story behind the 1909-versus-1921 boundary, landmark derby moments and licensed viewing routes around the world.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal · 5 December 2026
The Premier League fixture list currently has the first league derby of 2026/27 at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday 5 December 2026. The return fixture is scheduled for Saturday 1 May 2027 at Arsenal.
Kick-off times and UK broadcaster assignments are still subject to selection and movement. Check the Premier League and licensed broadcaster listings when the December television schedule is confirmed.
When Did the North London Derby Really Begin?
Arsenal and Tottenham first met in the Football League on 4 December 1909, but Arsenal were then based south of the Thames and still called Woolwich Arsenal. Eight league meetings were played before the clubs met again in the top flight after Arsenal’s move north.
Tottenham’s official history describes the 15 January 1921 First Division meeting at White Hart Lane as the first “proper” North London derby. That distinction matters: 178 is the count of all Arsenal–Tottenham league meetings from 1909, while the post-move rivalry begins in 1921.
TMJ keeps the headline ledger to Football League and Premier League meetings only. FA Cup, League Cup and other competitive matches are discussed as historical context but are not mixed into the league totals.

North London Derby Records That Define the Rivalry
Kane is the leading scorer in the rivalry’s competitive history.
The Arsenal defender sits at the top of the derby appearance list.
Arsenal’s six-goal victory came at White Hart Lane on 6 March 1935.
Tottenham 4–5 Arsenal · 13 November 2004
The 4–5 at White Hart Lane remains the highest-scoring competitive North London derby. It also captures something statistics alone cannot: this rivalry can turn a controlled match into a streetlamp-rattling shootout without warning.
Defining North London Derby Moments
Arsenal Win the League at White Hart Lane
Ray Kennedy’s late goal delivered a 1–0 league win and secured Arsenal’s title on Tottenham’s ground, four days before the FA Cup final completed the Double.
Spurs Take Wembley
Tottenham won the FA Cup semi-final 3–1 at Wembley, powered by Paul Gascoigne’s famous free-kick. It is a cup match, so it does not enter TMJ’s 178-game league ledger.
The Invincibles Clinch the Title at Spurs
Arsenal’s 2–2 draw at White Hart Lane was enough to secure the Premier League title during the unbeaten 2003/04 season, another championship confirmed on their rivals’ ground.
Arsenal 5–2 Tottenham, Then 5–2 Again
Arsenal produced two separate 5–2 home wins in 2012, first in February and then in November, giving the modern derby one of its strangest repeated scorelines.
Arsenal Have Controlled the Latest Run
After Tottenham’s 3–0 home win on 12 May 2022, Arsenal went unbeaten across the next eight league derbies through February 2026, winning seven and drawing one. That run includes away victories in January 2023, April 2024, September 2024 and February 2026.
The latest completed meeting was Arsenal’s 4–1 win at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on 22 February 2026, following a 4–1 Arsenal home win in November 2025. Those results deepen Arsenal’s lead in the long-run league record, but they do not change the article’s historical scope.
