The 2025/26 Premier League campaign has been one to remember, as we have clinched our first title in 22 years – but there are many other numbers that have led us to glory.
We’ve delved through the data to come up with 27 of the best facts from the 38 league games that led us to our name being engraved on the trophy for the fourth time, and the 14th time we’ve been crowned champions of England:
We scored 25 set-piece goals in the Premier League this season (excl. pens), the highest total in the division, and also set a new record for goals scored from corners in a single campaign – 19.
We are the first team to both avoid having a player sent off and not concede a penalty in a Premier League season.
We prevented our opponents from having a shot on target in six different Premier League games, the joint-most of any side in a campaign on record (since 2003/04) in the competition.
David Raya kept 19 clean sheets this season, the joint-most of any Arsenal goalkeeper in a single Premier League campaign, alongside David Seaman who also had 19 in 1993/94 & 1998/99.
Martin Zubimendi is just the third outfield player to appear in every game in a debut Premier League campaign for us, after Santi Cazorla (2012/13) and Declan Rice (2023/24).
He’s also just the second player to win the title and play every game in his first-ever season in the Premier League for any club, after Jens Lehmann in 2003/04.
Max Dowman became the youngest player to score a Premier League goal when he netted against Everton aged 16 years and 73 days, and the youngest scorer in our history.

Max Dowman: Arsenal’s and PL’s youngest scorer
On the final day of the season, he became the youngest player to start a Premier League game, aged 16 years and 144 days against Crystal Palace. He is also the youngest player to win a Premier League title, beating Phil Foden by a year and a half.
We had 23 combined goals and assists from substitutes in the Premier League this season, more than any other side and our joint-most in a Premier League campaign (also 23 in 2009/10).
Among managers to take charge of at least 20, Mikel Arteta has the best points-per-game rate (2.1) and the best win rate (63%) in Premier League London derbies (P73 W46 D17 L10).
Aged 44, Mikel is the second-youngest manager to lead a side to the Premier League title, after Jose Mourinho.

How Mikel Arteta transformed our fortunes
We kept the most clean sheets (19), conceded the lowest xG (28.5), fewest big chances (50), shots (310) and shots on target (90). Our 19 clean sheets this term are the most we’ve kept in a Premier League campaign since 1998/99 (23).
Our averages for game goals conceded (0.7), shots on target faced (2.4), shots faced per game (8.2) and expected goals against (0.7) were the lowest tallies across Europe’s top five leagues this season.
2025/26 was the fifth time we have led the way in the Premier League on Christmas Day, but the first time we’ve gone on to win the title in that season. In fact, it’s the first time we’ve been top on Christmas Day and gone on to win the top-flight since 1947/48.
In October, we registered our 700th Premier League victory, becoming just the second side to hit that milestone, along with Manchester United.
In May, we surpassed 500 clean sheets in the competition, again, only United have more.

Arsenal reach 500 Premier League clean sheets
We have won 25+ Premier League games in three of the last four seasons (26 in 2022/23, 28 in 2023/24, 26 in 2025/26), with Mikel Arteta achieving this feat as often as Arsene Wenger did (26 in 2001/02, 26 in 2003/04, 25 in 2004/05).
Bukayo Saka became the second youngest player (24 years, 255 days) to reach both 50+ goals and 50+ assists in Premier League history (60 goals, 50 assists), behind only Wayne Rooney who was 24 years and 84 days when he did so.
When Viktor Gyokeres scored his second goal in our 4-1 win over Tottenham in February, he also netted our 1,000th away goal in our Premier League history.
We completed a league double over Tottenham Hotspur in back-to-back seasons for the first time since 1987/88 and 1988/89.
The 4-1 win at Tottenham in February was our biggest away league derby day win since a 5-0 victory in December 1978. This is the second season in which we won both league meetings with Spurs by 3+ goals, after the 1934/35 campaign.
William Saliba is the first Arsenal player to win in each of his first four away league appearances at Tottenham.
Eberechi Eze is only the second player to score four or more league goals in north London derbies in a season, along with Ted Drake in 1934/35 (5). He became the fourth player to score a hat-trick in a competitive derby after Drake (1934), Terry Dyson (1961) and Alan Sunderland (1978).
We extended the longest unbeaten home record for any side against another in English football league history to 33 games when we beat Fulham 3-0 in May.
Against Leeds United in August, Jurrien Timber became only the second Arsenal defender to register 3+ goal involvements in a Premier League match (2 goals, 1 assists) with Nacho Monreal being the other.
At Bournemouth in January, Gabriel became just the second defender to score 20 Premier League goals for us after Laurent Koscielny (22).
We kept a 32nd clean sheet in 62 Premier League games against Newcastle, the most any side has kept against a single opponent in the division.
