Arsenal's Trophy Collection: A Complete Record of Titles

Arsenal FC stands as one of England’s most decorated football clubs. Some critics mention their lack of a Champions League title, but the club’s trophy cabinet tells a compelling story with a total of 49 major trophies, including league titles and domestic cups. The latest triumph came in the 2025-26 Premier League season, secured after Manchester City's draw against Bournemouth made it impossible for them to catch up on points.

Premier League Titles

Since its inception, Arsenal has claimed 14 top-flight league championships. The early successes were largely credited to Manager Herbert Chapman, who guided the team to four First Division titles before the Premier League era. Arsene Wenger later brought three Premier League crowns, including the famous unbeaten 2003-04 season.
