How Many Premier League Titles Have Arsenal Actually Claimed?

The 22-year drought is finally over. Arsenal are the 2025–26 Premier League champions, exorcising their long-standing demons and finally getting their hands on the most coveted trophy in English football.

Arsenal were by far the most reliable team in the Premier League throughout the season, and even after disappointing results in April once again seemed to push Mikel Arteta's side to the edge of another collapse, the Gunners responded with conviction and demonstrated true champions' mentality, stringing together four consecutive wins to reclaim control of the title race.

The Gunners' impressive form in the final stretch allowed them to take advantage of a Manchester City slip-up and reclaim top spot in the table. With Man City requiring a victory to extend the title race to the season's final day, the Cityzens had to settle for a 1–1 draw against Bournemouth, handing Arsenal their first Premier League crown since 2003–04.

It's a moment Arsenal supporters have agonizingly waited more than two decades for, and the celebrations will carry well into the north London night. Arteta's side and his broader project have finally scaled what once seemed like an insurmountable summit, restoring Arsenal to the heights their legacy demands.

How Many Times Have Arsenal Won the Premier League?

Arsenal are English champions for the 14th time in the club's storied history. This marks the fourth occasion Arsenal have claimed the Premier League title since the competition launched in 1992–93, having previously won the Football League First Division — the Premier League's forerunner — on 10 occasions.

Arteta becomes only the second manager in Arsenal's history to lift the Premier League trophy, following in the footsteps of the legendary Arsène Wenger, who guided the Gunners to Premier League glory in his first complete season at the helm in 1997–98, and again in 2001–02.

Wenger's Arsenal then secured the third and final Premier League title of his reign with arguably the most celebrated team of the league's existence, becoming the first and only unbeaten side in Premier League history in 2003–04.

The most dominant period in Arsenal's top-flight history came during the 1930s, when they were crowned champions five times within a single decade. The groundwork for one of English football's most iconic and successful clubs was laid during that era, and nearly a century on, Arteta's side have finally brought those glory days back to north London.

Claiming the 2025–26 Premier League title adds yet another crown to the collection of the third most decorated club in English football history.

The Most Successful Clubs in English Soccer History

Arsenal's 14 English top-flight titles sit behind only Liverpool and Manchester United's 20, firmly establishing them as the third most successful club in English football history. Their 14th triumph puts them four ahead of Manchester City, their closest rivals this campaign.

Arsenal are also the fourth most successful club of the Premier League era. Despite their 22-year title absence, the four Premier League crowns they have accumulated since the competition began trail only Man United's 13, Man City's eight and Chelsea's five.

After three consecutive seasons as runners-up, Arteta's squad has finally fulfilled their ambition. With that long-elusive and seemingly unbreakable barrier now broken down, Arsenal are ideally placed to remain genuine Premier League title contenders for years ahead.

First, however, comes a date with destiny in Budapest on Saturday, May 30, when Arsenal take on Paris Saint-Germain in the 2025–26 Champions League final, chasing a first-ever European crown in the club's history.
