Teknowarta – Arsenal have officially been crowned champions of the English Premier League for the 2025/2026 season. This monumental success brings an end to the club, affectionately known as The Gunners, and their arduous 22-year wait for the coveted title.
The confirmation of Arsenal’s triumph came after their closest title rivals, Manchester City, faltered against Bournemouth. In a crucial match held at the Vitality Stadium on Wednesday (20/5) early morning WIB, The Citizens – as Manchester City are known – were held to a 1-1 draw.
This outcome proved disastrous for Manchester City. The single point gained meant they definitively failed to narrow the gap on Arsenal, who had been leading the league standings.

Currently, Manchester City stands at 78 points, while Arsenal boasts 82 points. With only one game remaining in the competition, this four-point difference is now insurmountable, sealing Arsenal’s victory.
Arsenal has therefore been unequivocally named this season’s Premier League champions. The Gunners can now approach their upcoming away fixture against Crystal Palace on Sunday (24/5) without any pressure, having already secured the long-awaited championship crown.
This season’s title holds immense significance for both the club and its dedicated fanbase. The Gunners have finally broken their 22-year title drought, having last lifted the trophy in the 2002/2003 season, a memorable campaign where they etched their name in history as “The Invincibles” – an undefeated champion side.

Indeed, it has been an extended period of anticipation, with fans waiting for over two decades. Arsenal had previously contended for the league title in several recent seasons, yet The Gunners consistently stumbled during crucial stages, ultimately failing to secure the coveted silverware.
However, after numerous setbacks and near misses, Arsenal has finally realized their championship dream. This season’s triumph marks Arsenal’s 14th English League title. Furthermore, this latest victory adds a fascinating statistic: The Gunners are now the first club to have won the English League title in eight different decades.
With the Premier League title now safely secured, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta can fully shift his focus to the upcoming UEFA Champions League final for the 2025/2026 season. The Gunners are scheduled to face Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary, on Saturday (30/5).
