Arsenal crowned 2025/2026 Premier League champions

Arsenal have been confirmed as Premier League champions for the 2025/2026 season following Manchester City’s 1-1 draw against Bournemouth on Tuesday night.

 

Manchester City needed a victory to keep the title race alive heading into the final round of matches.

 

However, the result means Pep Guardiola’s side can no longer catch Arsenal with one game remaining for both teams.

 

Bournemouth took the lead through Kroupi Junior, who scored with a curling effort beyond City goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

 

City struggled to make their opportunities count despite creating several chances.

 

David Brooks missed two opportunities to extend Bournemouth’s lead before Erling Haaland scored a late equaliser for Manchester City.

 

The draw officially handed Arsenal the league title.

 

The Gunners are now expected to receive the Premier League trophy during their final fixture of the season against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
