The curtain has closed on the 2025/26 Premier League season, with Arsenal crowned the champions of England after a 22-year wait. The Gunners were officially handed the trophy in a colourful presentation at Selhurst Park.

Mikel Arteta’s side edged out Manchester City to come out on top of a nail-biting title race.

The battle concluded with a game to spare after City were held by AFC Bournemouth on Tuesday, May 19, 2026. The Gunners secured their 14th top-flight title in historic style, finishing the gruelling campaign without conceding a single penalty or receiving a red card.

In the individual awards category, Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya and top scorer Erling Haaland were feted for outstanding campaigns in the season:
