Arsenal were crowned Premier League champions for the 2025-26 season on May 19, 2026, securing their first league title in 22 years [1].
The victory ends a two-decade drought for the club and signals a shift in the balance of power within English football. By reclaiming the trophy, Arsenal has returned to the summit of the domestic game after years of challenging the dominance of other top-tier clubs.
The title was mathematically clinched during Matchweek 37 [5]. Arsenal's path to the trophy was finalized not by their own play on the day, but by a result at Dean Court. Manchester City failed to secure a victory in their match against Bournemouth, ending in a draw that left Arsenal uncatchable in the league table [4].
Following the result, tens of thousands of fans [4] gathered in North London. Celebrations erupted outside the Emirates Stadium as supporters marked the end of the long wait for a league championship [2].
There is some variation in the recording of the club's historical success. Reports indicate this is the fourth time Arsenal has won the Premier League [1]. However, other records state the club has now been crowned champions of England for a 14th time overall [3].
The 2025-26 campaign saw the club navigate a season that began with a narrow escape in Week 1 and culminated in a crown by Week 37 [5]. This victory marks the first time since the early 2000s that the trophy has returned to North London.
