It All Worked Out: Arsenal Wins Premier League After 22-Year Drought

It's official: Arsenal are champions of the 2025-26 Premier League.

Although Matchweek 38 still hasn't been decided, Manchester City's draw with Bournemouth has made it mathematically impossible for the "Cityzens" to win the league this season, meaning Mikel Arteta's squad has been crowned winners.

If you've watched even one Arsenal domestic match this season, you may think that North London's red-colored club isn't deserving of the Premier League trophy because of its "boring" play style. Arteta will surely have to address this widespread assessment heading into the 26/27 campaign, but it's impossible to discredit the Arsenal project. The truth of the matter is that the Spanish manager had a vision when he took over his former club in December 2019. He gradually got his side ready and had to weather the competitiveness of a relentless Liverpool and Man City.

Arsenal's 25/26 Premier League Trophy ends a 22-year drought of not lifting up the domestic title; the last time Arsenal had won the Premier League was in the 03/04 campaign.

The piece of silverware will surely be a huge morale boost for Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice, William Saliba, and the rest of Arteta's men heading into the 2026 Champions League Final against PSG. Luis Enrique's Ligue 1 club will certainly be a challenge for Arsenal, but the London-based club can now adjust its strategy in the weeks heading into the European final in Budapest.

News of Arsenal winning the Premier League are particularly huge for both adidas and New Balance, which have important sponsorship deals with either the club or some of its most-important players. The Arsenal 25/26 Home jersey will go down in history. New Balance Football, which signed Saka and Eberechi Eze in 2021, will use the moment to carry it into the 2026 World Cup™, where it's lacing up the likes of Brazil's Endrick and USMNT's Timothy Weah.

Congratulations are in order for the "Gunners." The club's 26/27 Home kit is already available via adidas.com and will now don a special golden badge to honor its Premier League title.
