The list shows clear shifts in control over time. Manchester United dominated the early years, while Manchester City have taken 6 of the 9 titles from 2017/18 to 2025/26, including 4 in a row from 2020/21 to 2023/24.
Titles by club
| Club | Titles |
|---|---|
| Manchester United | 13 |
| Manchester City | 8 |
| Chelsea | 5 |
| Arsenal | 4 |
| Liverpool | 2 |
| Blackburn Rovers | 1 |
| Leicester City | 1 |
That spread matters because it shows both concentration and turnover. Only 7 clubs have lifted the trophy, but the title has still moved across different eras, from Manchester United's long run to one-off titles for Blackburn Rovers in 1994/95 and Leicester City in 2015/16.
Why points totals need context
Points are useful, but they are not all on the same scale across the full history of the competition. The first 3 seasons, from 1992/93 to 1994/95, had 42 matches per club, while every season from 1995/96 onward has had 38.
That is why the champions' points totals from those first 3 seasons should not be compared directly with totals from the 38-match era. The schedule length changed, so the table needs to be read with that difference in mind.
The highest champions' total is 100 points by Manchester City in 2017/18, and the lowest is 75 by Manchester United in 1996/97. Both sit within the 38-match format, which makes that comparison straightforward.
What else the champions list tells you
Manchester City hold the record for the biggest title-winning margin. In 2017/18, they finished 19 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United.
The narrowest title win came in 2011/12, when Manchester City finished level on points and won the title on goal difference, with the margin recorded as +8 on goal difference. The champions list is not only about long spells of control; it also captures how fine a title race can be.
At manager level, Sir Alex Ferguson won 13 Premier League titles with Manchester United. That total matches the club's full Premier League title count, which shows how closely that era is tied to one manager.
