The club won its first league championship in **1930/31**, before adding three consecutive titles between 1932/33 and 1934/35. Another followed in 1937/38. UEFA’s historical profile of Arsenal highlights Chapman’s arrival in 1925 as the beginning of the club’s first great era, combining tactical innovation with unprecedented domestic success. That period established Arsenal among the major powers of English football long before the Premier League existed. ## The 1971 Double Arsenal’s **1970/71** season produced one of the most important achievements in club history. Bertie Mee’s team won both: - the First Division - the FA Cup The league title was secured with a famous **1-0 victory away to Tottenham**, before Arsenal defeated Liverpool in the FA Cup final.

That season remains one of the landmark campaigns covered by our permanent **North London derby guide**, because the championship was secured at White Hart Lane. ## The dramatic 1989 title Arsenal’s 1988/89 league championship produced one of English football’s most famous finishes. George Graham’s side travelled to Liverpool for the final game needing to win by two goals to take the title. Michael Thomas scored in stoppage time to make it **2-0**, giving Arsenal the championship on goals scored. Arsenal were champions again in **1990/91**, losing only one league match throughout the entire season.

They also lifted the FA Cup, completing the Double. ### 2001/02 Wenger’s side won another league and FA Cup Double. Arsenal finished the league season with **13 consecutive victories** and scored in every Premier League match. ### 2003/04 The most famous of all.

The team finished with: - **26 wins** - **12 draws** - **0 defeats** - **90 points** The unbeaten sequence eventually extended to **49 consecutive league games** across three seasons. Our \[Arsenal Invincibles guide\] should be the main internal destination for the complete story of that team. ## Arsenal’s 2025/26 Premier League title The drought finally ended under Arteta. Arsenal were crowned **2025/26 Premier League champions with a game to spare**, securing the club’s 14th English title. The championship followed three consecutive second-place finishes.

That means Arsenal have now been Champions League runners-up in: - **2005/06** - **2025/26** Our permanent [**Arsenal Champions League fixtures guide**](https://readarsenal.com/arsenal-champions-league-fixtures/) should handle current European competition coverage, while this page remains focused on historical honours. ## Arsenal’s other major European finals Arsenal have also suffered several other European final defeats. ### Cup Winners’ Cup Arsenal were runners-up in: - **1980** - **1995** either side of their 1994 victory. ### UEFA Cup Arsenal reached the **2000 UEFA Cup final** against Galatasaray.

The 2003/04 Invincibles did not complete a Double, but their undefeated league record gives that side a separate historical distinction. ## Arsenal trophies by manager | Manager | Major highlights | | --- | --- | | **Herbert Chapman** | First FA Cup and first league titles | | **George Allison** | Multiple league championships and FA Cup | | **Tom Whittaker** | Two league titles and FA Cup | | **Bertie Mee** | 1970 Fairs Cup and 1971 Double | | **George Graham** | Two league titles, two League Cups, FA Cup, Cup Winners’ Cup | | **Arsène Wenger** | Three league titles and seven FA Cups | | **Mikel Arteta** | 2020 FA Cup and 2025/26 Premier League | Wenger is Arsenal’s most decorated manager in terms of major trophies during the modern era.

That final team should now be included in any serious modern Arsenal honours discussion. ## Why Arsenal trophy totals can differ Readers will sometimes see different totals quoted.
