The English Premier League (EPL) is the top tier of English football. It is widely regarded as one of the greatest sporting leagues on the planet.
Since its formation in 1992, the Premier League has delivered iconic rivalries, stunning comebacks, and legendary title races. Every season brings new drama.
Since 1992, only seven clubs have won the Premier League title. That’s a remarkable fact given that 20 different clubs compete in the division each season.
Today, we look at every Premier League winner since 1992. We cover the key records, the dominant clubs, the greatest managers, and the unforgettable seasons that shaped the league’s history.
The Seven Clubs That Have Won the Premier League
Since 1992, only seven clubs have lifted the Premier League trophy. Here is the full list:
- Manchester United – 13 titles
- Manchester City – 8 titles
- Chelsea – 5 titles
- Arsenal – 3 titles
- Liverpool – 2 titles
- Blackburn Rovers – 1 title
- Leicester City – 1 title
That is just seven winners in over 30 years of Premier League football. It shows just how competitive — and how exclusive — winning the title truly is.

Note: From 1992–93 to 1994–95, the Premier League comprised 22 clubs (42 games). From 1995–96 onwards, it was reduced to 20 clubs (38 games).
Manchester United: The Early Kings (1992–2013)
Manchester United set the standard in the early years of the Premier League. Under the legendary Sir Alex Ferguson, they dominated English football for over two decades.
Ferguson guided United to all 13 of their Premier League titles. His first came in the very first season — 1992–93 — and his last arrived in 2012–13, the final year of his remarkable 26-year reign at Old Trafford.
United’s 1998–99 campaign was arguably the most famous in Premier League history. They won the league, the FA Cup, and the UEFA Champions League in the same season — a historic treble that had never been done by an English club before.
Since Ferguson’s retirement, United have not won another Premier League title. It remains one of the most striking facts in modern football.
Arsenal and the Invincibles: 2003–04
Arsenal have won three Premier League titles — in 1997–98, 2001–02, and most memorably in 2003–04.
The 2003–04 season was extraordinary. Under manager Arsene Wenger, Arsenal went the entire 38-game league season without losing a single match. They finished with 90 points, winning 26 and drawing 12.
That squad became known as ‘The Invincibles.’ No team has come close to matching that feat in the Premier League era.
Players like Thierry Henry, Patrick Vieira, Robert Pires, and Ashley Cole were at the heart of one of the most technically brilliant teams English football has ever seen.
Chelsea’s Rise: The Mourinho Effect
Chelsea entered the Premier League’s title conversation in a big way when Jose Mourinho arrived in 2004. Backed by Roman Abramovich’s investment, the Blues transformed into a dominant force.
Mourinho’s Chelsea won back-to-back titles in 2004–05 and 2005–06. The 2004–05 campaign was record-breaking — Chelsea conceded just 15 goals all season, which remains the lowest ever in the Premier League era.
Chelsea won five Premier League titles in total — under Mourinho (twice), Carlo Ancelotti, Roberto Di Matteo, and Antonio Conte. Their 2016–17 title under Conte came with 93 points and 30 wins from 38 games.

Blackburn Rovers: The Underdogs Who Shocked the World (1994–95)
In 1994–95, Blackburn Rovers pulled off one of the biggest upsets in Premier League history. Backed by wealthy benefactor Jack Walker, Rovers invested heavily in striker Alan Shearer.
Under manager Kenny Dalglish, Blackburn won the title with 89 points. It remains their only Premier League championship.
Their triumph is a reminder that the Premier League can still produce unexpected champions — though the financial gap between clubs has made it increasingly difficult in recent years.
Leicester City: The Greatest Football Miracle (2015–16)
If Blackburn’s title was a surprise, Leicester City’s 2015–16 triumph was nothing short of a miracle.
The Foxes had narrowly avoided relegation the season before. Before the 2015–16 campaign began, bookmakers gave them 5,000-to-1 odds of winning the title. Most football fans did not even consider it a possibility.
Yet under manager Claudio Ranieri, Leicester won the Premier League with 81 points — finishing a full 10 points ahead of Arsenal in second.
The squad featured Jamie Vardy, who broke the record for scoring in consecutive Premier League games, Riyad Mahrez, and the tireless N’Golo Kante in midfield.
It remains the greatest sporting upset in modern football history. It is unlikely to ever be repeated.
Manchester City and the Pep Guardiola Era (2011–Present)
Manchester City have become the dominant force in English football over the past decade. Their rise to the top began with Roberto Mancini’s title win in 2011–12, remembered for Sergio Aguero’s last-second winner against QPR on the final day of the season.
But it was the arrival of Pep Guardiola in 2016 that truly transformed City into a Premier League machine.
City set the all-time record for most points in a season when they accumulated 100 points in 2017–18. That season they won 32 of their 38 league games and scored 106 goals.
Guardiola’s City also won four consecutive Premier League titles from 2020–21 to 2023–24, making them only the second club in history to achieve four in a row.
As of 2025, Manchester City have won 8 Premier League titles — second only to Manchester United’s 13.
Liverpool’s Long Wait and Recent Glory
Liverpool were the dominant force in English football throughout the 1970s and 1980s. However, they had to wait 30 years before finally winning the league title again.
Under Jurgen Klopp, Liverpool ended their long wait in 2019–20. They finished with 99 points — the second-highest points total in Premier League history at the time.
Liverpool’s second Premier League title came in 2024–25 under new manager Arne Slot. The Reds finished the season with 84 points, edging out a competitive field to claim their second top-flight crown since the league’s rebranding in 1992.

The Greatest Managers in Premier League History
Behind every title-winning club is a world-class manager. The Premier League has been shaped by some of the greatest coaching minds in football.
Sir Alex Ferguson is the undisputed king. He won all 13 of Manchester United’s Premier League titles across 21 seasons. No manager comes close to that record.
Pep Guardiola has been the most dominant manager of the modern era. He has won 6 Premier League titles with Manchester City and revolutionised the way the game is played in England.
Arsene Wenger won 3 titles with Arsenal, including his famous unbeaten season. Jose Mourinho won 3 titles — two with Chelsea and one with Chelsea again a decade later.
Kenny Dalglish won Blackburn’s only title in 1994–95. Claudio Ranieri will forever be remembered for Leicester’s fairytale in 2016. Jurgen Klopp ended Liverpool’s 30-year wait. And Arne Slot claimed the second for the Reds in 2025.
What Makes the Premier League So Special?
The English Premier League is the most-watched football league in the world. It is broadcast in over 180 countries. Its combination of pace, passion, drama, and global stars makes it unlike any other competition.
In over 30 years, just seven clubs have stood at the top. Yet within that, the stories are wildly different — from Leicester’s miracle to the relentless machine built by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City.
The Premier League continues to evolve. New clubs are rising. New managers are challenging. And every season brings the promise of more unforgettable moments.
Whether you are a lifelong fan or a newcomer to the sport, the Premier League’s history of champions is a story worth knowing — and one that is far from finished.
