Xhaka shook off an injury scare before the World Cup and is set to be involved for Switzerland in their opening Russia 2018 clash with Brazil on Sunday.
Arsenal's new head coach Unai Emery, who has replaced Arsene Wenger at the club, is looking forward to working with the 25-year-old midfielder.
"I'm delighted that Granit has extended his contract with us," Emery told Arsenal's website.
"He's an important member of the squad and is still young so will be able to develop even more.
"I hope he has a successful World Cup with Switzerland and comes back fit and ready for the new season."
