When did Arsenal last win the Premier League?
Arsenal enter the 2025/26 season as one of the strongest contenders for the Premier League crown, backed by significant summer investment and a squad shaped by Mikel Arteta’s tactical vision. Yet, despite their status among England’s footballing elite, it has been more than two decades since the Gunners last celebrated domestic glory.
The Invincibles of 2003/04
The last Premier League triumph came in the historic 2003/04 campaign, when Arsène Wenger’s side went unbeaten across 38 matches a feat unmatched in the modern era. Led by French icon Thierry Henry, who delivered 39 goals and 14 assists in 51 appearances that season, Arsenal recorded 26 wins and 12 draws to secure the title without a single loss.
Two Decades Without a League Title
Since that golden season, Arsenal have navigated periods of transition and rebuilding. The appointment of Mikel Arteta has revitalized the club’s competitive edge, bringing back a strong title challenge, but the trophy remains elusive. Last season, Arsenal finished runners-up to Arne Slot’s Liverpool, winning 20 of their 38 league fixtures.
Heavy Investment for a New Push
Determined to bridge the final gap, the club moved decisively in the transfer market. They secured the signature of Spanish midfielder Martín Zubimendi previously a Real Madrid target and landed prolific striker Viktor Gyökeres from Sporting CP. Both signings are expected to add steel and firepower to the squad.
Possible Departures on the Horizon
While strengthening key areas, Arsenal also face the possibility of losing notable players. Brazilian forward Gabriel Jesus, still recovering from injury, has drawn interest from Flamengo, Palmeiras, and Inter Milan, adding uncertainty to the final squad composition.
With a bolstered roster, tactical continuity under Arteta, and a renewed hunger to end a 21-year league drought, Arsenal’s upcoming campaign could mark their closest return yet to the summit of English football.
