Arsenal won their first Premier League title for a generation in 2025/26.
The Gunners were crowned champions when Manchester City could only draw at Bournemouth on May 19, a result that left them unable to catch Mikel Arteta's team at the top of the standings on the final day.
A first league triumph in 22 years was celebrated wildly in north London and the wider world, with fans both jubilant at the achievement and relieved that the long wait was finally over.
But where do Arsenal sit in the all-time rankings when it comes to Premier League titles? Let's look at the details.

Liverpool FC vs. Man United rivalry
The two clubs astride the top of the list are the giant institutions of English football.
United have also won the FA Cup 13 times to Liverpool's eight, while the Anfield club have a record 10 League Cups to United's six.
Liverpool are not shy when it comes to pointing out that they have double United's three European Cup/Champions League successes.
During Sir Alex Ferguson's time in charge at Old Trafford, pointing to this history of European success became an act of almost reflexive self-preservation. Because, as equal as this rivalry is overall, it is marked by defining periods of dominance from one club or the other in terms of English league titles.

Following Sir Matt Busby's final Division One title in 1966/67 — a crown United lost to crosstown rivals Manchester City the year after — the Red Devils were not champions of England again until Ferguson scaled the mountain for the first time in 1992/93.
In the interim period, Liverpool won the title on 11 occasions. However, an unlikely barren spell stretched 30 years from 1989/90 to 2019/20 when Jurgen Klopp led the Reds to glory.
During that drought, Ferguson won a remarkable 13 titles, making good on his pledge to "knock Liverpool off their perch" and overhauling what looked like an insurmountable all-time advantage.
It is Liverpool and Manchester United's perch to share again these days, with the latter club now firmly in the doldrums. Another period of United dominance feels difficult to imagine right now, but history shows how this pendulum can swing.
