The ArsenalVision Podcast LLC today announced Arsenal Across America 2026, a nationwide event scheduled for April 25, 2026, that will unite Arsenal Football Club supporters across the United States while raising funds for refugee children through The Arsenal Foundation's "Coaching for Life" program in connection with Save the Children.
"We are so fortunate to have such a supportive and generous Arsenal community in this country. This is our chance to help foster some much needed unity and show our appreciation," said Elliot Smith, co-host of The ArsenalVision Podcast. "This event celebrates the best qualities of Arsenal supporters across the country, as we demonstrate solidarity in our love for our football club and help fund the Arsenal Foundation’s program to protect child refugees."
The event, centered at Franklin Hall in Washington, D.C., represents a collaboration between The ArsenalVision Podcast and Arsenal America, and brings branches from coast to coast together on match day, all while raising money for the Arsenal Foundation. The initiative combines a celebration of the American Arsenal supporter community with a month-long charitable campaign benefiting child refugees in Za'atari Refugee Camp in Jordan.
The fundraising campaign, which runs throughout April 2026, supports programs at Za'atari camp, which houses 80,000 refugees, including 40,000 children. These young people face challenges including risks of gender-based violence, child labor, and child marriage. The Coaching for Life program uses football to build resiliency skills and provide safe spaces for children to develop friendships and life skills.
"The pitches we built in Za'atari are not only places to enjoy football, but they are important spaces where trust is built, opportunities are provided, and belonging is delivered,” said Freddy Hudson, Director of the Arsenal Foundation. "Although we can't give the families in the camp the life back they once had, it's clear they are coping better thanks to Arsenal and the Coaching for Life project."
The main event at Franklin Hall will feature a live recording of The ArsenalVision Podcast with special guests including Jacob from Poorly Drawn Arsenal. Arsenal America branches nationwide will host simultaneous watch parties, creating a coast-to-coast celebration of Arsenal support. The match viewed will be Arsenal vs. Newcastle in the Premier League at 12:30pm ET on April 25th.
"This fundraiser perfectly aligns with Arsenal America's mission that has guided us since 2001," said Michael Feinberg of Arsenal America. "We started as a group of friends meeting to watch matches and have grown to encompass nearly a hundred branches and thousands of members nationwide. That 'group of friends, gathering to support' mantra remains at the core of our vision. This event exemplifies how we facilitate a local, regional, and national Arsenal community where all are welcome while supporting a cause that matters."
Over the past three years, similar fundraising efforts by The ArsenalVision Podcast and the Arsecast have raised over $1.5 million for the Arsenal Foundation. The 2026 campaign aims to continue this tradition of combining football passion with humanitarian support.
Participants can engage with Arsenal Across America 2026 in three ways: attending the main event in Washington, D.C., joining their local Arsenal America branch watch party, or organizing their own viewing event and submitting footage for inclusion in a post-event podcast episode.
