Every Premier League Champion, 1992-93 to 2025-26: Full List

The Premier League wrapped up its 34th season in May 2026, and the trophy went back to a cabinet that had not seen it for twenty-two years: Arsenal's. Mikel Arteta's side finished on 85 points, seven clear of Manchester City, adding an old name to a surprisingly short list. Because that is the first thing that hits you when you lay all 34 seasons out one under the other: although 51 different clubs have played in the Premier League at some point, the title has only ever changed hands between seven of them. This is the full list, with every champion's points total, and what that list says about the way English football has shifted.

Seven clubs in thirty-four seasons

The distribution is brutally concentrated. Manchester United and Manchester City have 21 of the 34 titles between them, almost two in every three. Chelsea account for five, Arsenal for four and Liverpool for two. Then there are the two glorious outliers: Blackburn Rovers in 1994-95 and Leicester City in 2015-16, one-off champions who never repeated it. None of the other 44 clubs who have passed through the competition have got their hands on it. Not Newcastle, runners-up in back-to-back seasons in the nineties, not Tottenham, not Everton, and not Aston Villa, who finished second in the very first edition. Thirty-four attempts, seven doors opened.

• Manchester United: 13 titles (1992-93, 1993-94, 1995-96, 1996-97, 1998-99, 1999-2000, 2000-01, 2002-03, 2006-07, 2007-08, 2008-09, 2010-11 and 2012-13)
• Manchester City: 8 titles (2011-12, 2013-14, 2017-18, 2018-19, 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24)
• Chelsea: 5 titles (2004-05, 2005-06, 2009-10, 2014-15 and 2016-17)
• Arsenal: 4 titles (1997-98, 2001-02, 2003-04 and 2025-26)
• Liverpool: 2 titles (2019-20 and 2024-25)
• Blackburn Rovers: 1 title (1994-95)
• Leicester City: 1 title (2015-16)

The nineties: Ferguson's Premier League

The first three seasons were played with 22 clubs and 42 matches, so those totals are not directly comparable with the rest: that is why United's 92 points in 1993-94 and Blackburn's 89 in 1994-95 sit in the same table as figures produced over a shorter calendar. From 1995-96 the league dropped to 20 clubs and 38 rounds, the format still in use today. Across that first decade Alex Ferguson won six of the eight titles on offer. It also produced the lowest winning total in the competition's history: the 75 points with which United were crowned in 1996-97, the lowest total the league has ever been won with. Those years in fact produced three champions below 80 in a 38-game season: that United side, Arsenal on 78 in 1997-98 and United again on 79 in 1998-99.

• 1992-93: Manchester United, 84 points (42-game season)
• 1993-94: Manchester United, 92 points (42-game season)
• 1994-95: Blackburn Rovers, 89 points (42-game season)
• 1995-96: Manchester United, 82 points
• 1996-97: Manchester United, 75 points
• 1997-98: Arsenal, 78 points
• 1998-99: Manchester United, 79 points
• 1999-2000: Manchester United, 91 points

The 2000s: Wenger, Mourinho and a new scale

The following decade introduced two new ideas: the perfect campaign and the unlimited-budget campaign. Arsène Wenger's Arsenal posted the Invincibles' 90 points in 2003-04, the only unbeaten season in Premier League history. A year later, a Chelsea side newly bought by Roman Abramovich and managed by José Mourinho raised the bar to 95 points, a mark that would stand for thirteen years. In among all that, United kept turning up with metronomic regularity: three straight titles between 2006-07 and 2008-09 on 89, 87 and 90 points. Three different clubs took the decade's ten trophies, and nobody strung together more than three in a row.

• 2000-01: Manchester United, 80 points
• 2001-02: Arsenal, 87 points
• 2002-03: Manchester United, 83 points
• 2003-04: Arsenal, 90 points
• 2004-05: Chelsea, 95 points
• 2005-06: Chelsea, 91 points
• 2006-07: Manchester United, 89 points
• 2007-08: Manchester United, 87 points
• 2008-09: Manchester United, 90 points
• 2009-10: Chelsea, 86 points

The 2010s: Manchester City change the scale

The turning point arrives in 2011-12, when City win their first title on 89 points, exactly the same as United, and take it on goal difference: plus 64 against plus 56. It remains the only time the Premier League has been settled that way. From there the map is redrawn entirely. United win in 2012-13, Ferguson's last season in the dugout, and are still waiting for the next one. Leicester produce the most improbable finish in modern European sport in 2015-16 with 81 points. And the end of the decade delivers the three highest totals ever recorded, back to back to back: 100, 98 and 99 points in three consecutive campaigns. Liverpool closed the decade in 2019-20 with their first league title in thirty years.

• 2010-11: Manchester United, 80 points
• 2011-12: Manchester City, 89 points
• 2012-13: Manchester United, 89 points
• 2013-14: Manchester City, 86 points
• 2014-15: Chelsea, 87 points
• 2015-16: Leicester City, 81 points
• 2016-17: Chelsea, 93 points
• 2017-18: Manchester City, 100 points
• 2018-19: Manchester City, 98 points
• 2019-20: Liverpool, 99 points

2020 to 2026: four in a row and two twists

The twenties began with City doing something nobody had managed before in English football: four consecutive championships, from 2020-21 to 2023-24, on 86, 93, 89 and 91 points. The last of the four was settled on the final day by just two points over Arsenal. Since then the balance has tilted. Arne Slot's Liverpool won in 2024-25 with 84 points, the lowest winning total since Leicester, and Arsenal closed out 2025-26 on 85, seven clear of City. That is two straight seasons with the champion below 90 points, something that had not happened since 2014-15 and 2015-16.

• 2020-21: Manchester City, 86 points
• 2021-22: Manchester City, 93 points
• 2022-23: Manchester City, 89 points
• 2023-24: Manchester City, 91 points
• 2024-25: Liverpool, 84 points
• 2025-26: Arsenal, 85 points

Margins: the routs and the photo finishes

The list also lets you measure how comfortably each title was won, not just who won it. The extreme is Manchester City in 2017-18, 19 points clear of United: the biggest winning margin in the competition's history. Just behind sit two leagues won by 18. At the opposite end are four nerve-shredding finishes: three titles decided by a single point and one, in 2011-12, settled in the 94th minute of the final day and on goal difference. Between those two poles sits pretty much everything the Premier League has ever been.

• Biggest margin: 19 points, Manchester City over Manchester United in 2017-18
• Second and third: 18 points, Manchester United over Arsenal in 1999-2000 and Liverpool over Manchester City in 2019-20
• Twelve points: Chelsea over Arsenal in 2004-05 and Manchester City over Manchester United in 2020-21
• A single point: Blackburn in 1994-95, Chelsea in 2009-10 and Manchester City in 2018-19
• Nothing at all: in 2011-12 City and United both finished on 89 and the title went on goal difference, plus 64 against plus 56

Lined up in order, the 34 champions trace three fairly clear eras. Ferguson's, which took thirteen of the first twenty-one titles. Pep Guardiola's, with six championships in seven seasons between 2017-18 and 2023-24 and a points inflation that dragged the benchmark from 90 up to 100. And the current one, more open, with three different winners in the last three campaigns and totals back down in the mid-eighties. Whether that openness is a genuine trend or simply a pause is exactly the sort of question you can test by simulating the season as many times as you like.
