Arsenal won the English Premier League on Tuesday for the first time in more than two decades.
Manchester City’s 1–1 draw with Bournemouth on Tuesday secured the title for Arsenal. The Gunners are four points ahead in the table, and with one match remaining for each club on Sunday, City won’t be able to make up the deficit.
It’s the first Premier League trophy for Arsenal under U.S. owners. Stan Kroenke, owner of the L.A. Rams, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Rapids, has been a co-owner of the U.K. club since 2007 and took full control in 2018. The team had blown its league lead several times in the past, including in the 2022–2023 and 2023–2024 seasons.
The party could continue in North London later this month as Arsenal will face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest on May 30.
The financial incentives from winning the Premier League are massive. Last year, champion Liverpool took home about $233.5 million in prize money.
