Arsenal have been crowned 2025/2026 Premier League champions after Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth on Tuesday night, ending the North London club’s 22-year wait for the English league title.
City needed victory at the Vitality Stadium to keep the title race alive but dropped crucial points, handing Arsenal an unassailable lead at the top of the table with one match left in the season.
The triumph marks Arsenal’s first Premier League title since the famous “Invincibles” season of 2003/2004 and comes after three consecutive runner-up finishes.
Manager Mikel Arteta secured his first league crown with Arsenal after rebuilding the club into title contenders over the past several seasons.
Arsenal players and supporters erupted in celebration after confirmation of City’s result, with fans gathering around the Emirates Stadium while the squad celebrated together at the club’s training base.
The Gunners sealed the title following a narrow 1-0 victory over Burnley earlier in the week, leaving City needing a win against Bournemouth to force the race to the final day.
Arsenal are now set to lift the Premier League trophy after their final league fixture of the season and could still finish the campaign with a historic double as they prepare for the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain later this month.
