Arsenal Football Club have been crowned English Premier League champions for the 2025/26 season after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by AFC Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium. The result mathematically sealed the title race, ending a 22-year wait for league glory.
Although Pep Guardiola’s side needed a win to extend the battle, they fell short on the south coast, allowing the Gunners to clinch top spot with a game to spare. Consequently, celebrations erupted among Arsenal supporters, who last witnessed league success during the iconic “Invincibles” era in 2003/04 under Arsène Wenger.
Throughout the season, Mikel Arteta’s men demonstrated consistency and resilience. Despite a brief dip in April following a 2-1 defeat at the Etihad, Arsenal responded strongly and regained control of the title race. In addition, they recorded 25 wins from 37 matches, alongside 19 clean sheets, highlighting their defensive strength and overall balance.
Moreover, David Raya secured another Golden Glove award, while Arsenal’s attack remained among the most productive in the league. The club also led the table for over 200 days, reinforcing their dominance across the campaign.
Significantly, this triumph marks Arsenal’s 14th English league title and Arteta’s first Premier League crown as manager. It also ends a six-year trophy drought and signals a new era of success at the Emirates Stadium.
Furthermore, Arsenal now turn their attention to the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest, aiming to complete a historic double.
Meanwhile, AFC Bournemouth also made history by securing European qualification for the first time in their 127-year existence after an impressive unbeaten run.
