New Season, New Beginnings

Leicester City and Ipswich Town secured automatic promotion to the Premier League last season, while Southampton clinched the final spot by beating Leeds United in the Championship playoff final. The new EPL season begins on the weekend of Saturday, August 17, and concludes on Sunday, May 25. It will consist of 33 weekends, four midweek rounds, and one Bank Holiday matchweek.

A Look Back at Premier League Winners

The two Manchester clubs have dominated the Premier League era, winning 20 titles between them. That means the title has ended up in Manchester more often than not since the Premier League’s inception in 1992. Blackburn Rovers, Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester City, and Liverpool are the only other clubs to have won the English top-flight title in the Premier League era.

Most English League Titles

Of course, football did exist before 1993, and it was Liverpool who largely bossed the English game, especially in the 1970s and 1980s. Liverpool won 18 league titles before the Premier League, which, if you add to the one they’ve won since then in 2019/20 under Jurgen Klopp, gives them 19 English domestic crowns overall.

But that’s just short of United’s tally of 20 titles, with the Old Trafford club lifting the top prize seven times before the Premier League era, and then 13 more under Ferguson in the 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. City went one ahead of Everton on 10 overall titles after completing their 2023/24 triumph under Guardiola.

Arsenal (13) remain in third place, with Aston Villa, Chelsea, and Sunderland all having won six or more titles.

The wait is almost over, and the excitement is building. The 2024/25 Premier League season promises to be another thrilling ride, and we can’t wait to see what it has in store for us.
