The championship was mathematically sealed on Tuesday night after closest rivals Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s side required a victory on the south coast to prolong the title race, but their failure to secure three points left the Gunners out of reach at the top of the table.
The result sparks historic celebrations for Arsenal fans, whose last league triumph came during the undefeated “Invincibles” campaign of 2003-04 under Arsène Wenger.
After finishing as runners-up for three consecutive seasons, the North London club has finally secured the top spot.
The official trophy presentation is scheduled to take place on Sunday, May 24, 2026, when Arsenal concludes their campaign against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
