22-Year Wait Is Over: Arsenal Crowned Premier League Champions

Arsenal have been crowned champions of the 2025-26 Premier League season. The London giants, managed by Mikel Arteta and entering matchweek 37 as leaders on 82 points, sealed the title after their closest challengers Manchester City could only draw 1-1 away at Bournemouth. The Gunners are now returning the trophy to their museum 22 years after last lifting it in the 2003-04 season — when Arsène Wenger's legendary "Invincibles" side went the entire campaign unbeaten.

Finishing the season on 82 points with 25 wins, 7 draws and 5 defeats, Arsenal boast a +43 goal difference and have long since secured their Champions League place. With this title, the Gunners have strengthened their grip on third place in England's all-time list of most successful clubs, sitting behind only Liverpool and Manchester United (20 titles each). On the final matchday of the season, Arsenal will host Crystal Palace at the Emirates — but this time, the pitch they step onto won't be the stage for a must-win game; it will be the stage for a celebration.
