The 22-year wait is finally over. Arsenal are the 2025–26 Premier League champions, vanquishing their past demons and at last getting their hands on the most prestigious trophy in English soccer. Arsenal were far and away the most consistent side in the Premier League this season, and even after poor results in April once again appeared to put Mikel Arteta’s side on the brink of collapse, the Gunners responded admirably and showed their champions character, winning four in a row to put themselves back in the driver’s seat of the title race.

It’s a day Arsenal fans have painfully waited for for over two decades, and celebrations will go deep into the north London night.
