The Premier League was created in 1992 and has become a global brand in the time since. The top flight of English football is the most-watched sports league on the planet, and it is widely regarded as the best league in the world.
The top flight was known as the First Division until 1992 when it broke away from the rest of the Football League and renamed itself. The league was initially made up of 22 clubs, but this was reduced to 20 in 1995 and has remained at that number ever since. From 1992 and 2024, 51 different clubs have competed in the Premier League at some stage.
Despite this large number, only seven clubs have ever managed to win the league. Here is a look at those clubs that have lifted the trophy and how many occasions they have managed it, starting from those with just one title and ending with the team who have the most. Entries on the list are judged by a team’s best-ever campaign, which we have stipulated as being the most points won in a Premier League season.
Blackburn Rovers are an immensely historic football club that had won multiple honours even before the formation of the Football League in 1888, of which they were founder members. By 1928, they had won two league
titles and six FA Cups, which set them apart as one of the most successful teams in the country. However, a long trophy drought soon followed as the Lancashire outfit flirted between the top flight and lower divisions and never looked close to becoming champions of England again.
That all changed in 1991 when local millionaire Jack Walker purchased the club and immediately set about making his boyhood club the best team in the country. Rovers won promotion in 1992 and finished in fourth place in the very first Premier League campaign.
Within two years, they had won the Premier League, thanks in no small part to the signings of future all-time Premier League top scorer Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton, who scored 49 goals between them in the title-winning season.
Arsenal are one of the most successful sides in English football history and boasts the longest run of consecutive seasons in the top flight, having never been relegated since 1919. The Gunners won the penultimate First Division title

in 1991 but were never serious contenders for the title in the first few seasons of the Premier League under the management of George Graham and Bruce Rioch. The appointment of Arsene Wenger in 1996 changed all that.
The Frenchman completely revolutionised the club from top to bottom and his innovations, including introducing diets for players, had an everlasting effect on English football as a whole. The Gunners lifted the Premier League
trophy in Wenger’s second season in charge and repeated the trick four years later. But their most impressive achievement came in the 2003/04 season when they embarked on an unbeaten league campaign and won the title with a haul of 90 points.
