For 22 years, Arsenal have watched rivals lift the Premier League trophy while their own celebrations fell short. That wait ended in dramatic fashion on May 19, 2026, when a 1-1 draw between Manchester City and Bournemouth handed the Gunners their first English league title since 2004.
With a four-point cushion heading into the final matchday, Mikel Arteta‘s side could no longer be caught. The victory caps a season of resilience, with Arsenal finishing runners-up to Manchester City in both 2023 and 2024. Their defensive solidity proved decisive in a campaign where they rarely faltered under pressure.
A fitting end to an intense season, the club now turns its attention to the Champions League final on May 30, where they will face Paris Saint-Germain — the defending champions. Could this be the start of a new era for the North London side?
