The Premier League launched in 1992-93, breaking away from the old Football League First Division to become English football's top tier. Since then, only a handful of clubs have managed to get their hands on the trophy, and the roll of honour tells the story of shifting eras of dominance across more than three decades.

Manchester United set the early pace, racking up title after title through the 1990s and 2000s. The last fifteen years, though, belong largely to Manchester City, whose spending and squad depth produced an unprecedented run of championships, including four in a row. Only two clubs, Blackburn Rovers and Leicester City, have ever crashed the party as unexpected one-off winners.

This page lists every Premier League champion and runner-up, season by season, from the inaugural 1992-93 campaign through to 2024-25 — the year Liverpool reclaimed the crown under Arne Slot. Note that these are Premier League era titles only; earlier First Division championships are counted separately.

Every Premier League Champion (1992-2026) — FAQ

Which club has won the most Premier League titles?
Manchester United has won the most Premier League titles with 13, all under manager Sir Alex Ferguson between 1993 and 2013. Manchester City is second with a rapidly growing tally, having dominated the competition since 2011-12.
