Is Nikola Jokic an Arsenal fan?
Not in his own words. What's on file is a background tie to Arsenal, not a stated fandom.
Nikola Jokic Full fan file: every team he roots for, with receipts
“Jokic was seen in the stands wearing an Arsenal shirt under a blazer, celebrating alongside fans after Havertz struck inside the opening stages.”
Reported by Yardbarker, May 30, 2026. Backed by ClutchPoints (2026).
Last checked November 6, 2026: the quote still matched the page word for word.
What has Nikola Jokic said about Arsenal?
Nothing that is on record. The link between the Denver Nuggets center and Arsenal comes from outlets describing what they saw at a match, not from anything he has told a reporter. Yardbarker reported on May 30, 2026 that "Jokic was seen in the stands wearing an Arsenal shirt under a blazer, celebrating alongside fans after Havertz struck inside the opening stages." That is an observation of his behavior in the crowd, written by someone else, and it is the main evidence for the connection.
ClutchPoints covered the same day in similar terms: "Nikola Jokic of the Nuggets was supporting Arsenal FC during their defeat to Paris Saint-Germain during the Champions League final." Between the two, the scene is consistent. He was at the Champions League final, he was in Arsenal colors, and he reacted when Arsenal scored early. Arsenal lost the match to Paris Saint-Germain.
Did Nikola Jokic grow up an Arsenal fan?
Nothing in the sourcing says so. Jokic was born on February 19, 1995 in Sombor, Serbia (then FR Yugoslavia), and he played for Mega Basket from 2012 to 2015 before the Nuggets took him in the second round of the 2014 draft, 41st overall. He has been with Denver since 2015. None of that connects him to a London club, and the two reports give no date for when his interest in Arsenal began or how it started. So the age or circumstances of any attachment are not something the sources address.
Does Nikola Jokic like Arsenal?
The evidence points to him supporting Arsenal at that final, and the outlets describe him as doing so. What it does not support is a stated fandom. He has not been quoted calling himself a fan, and the coverage is limited to a single event in May 2026. The accurate description is a tie shown at one match, with the reporting characterizing him as a fan without his own words behind it.
Which other athletes are Arsenal fans?
Several other players have been linked to the club. Joel Embiid has said it in his own words. Jaylen Brown has been reported as an Arsenal fan. Giannis Antetokounmpo used to be one, so his is a past fandom rather than a current one.
