Yes, once. Arsenal completed the 2003/04 Premier League season unbeaten, going 26 wins, 12 draws and 0 losses across 38 matches; from 1992/93 to 2025/26, no other club managed it.
The only unbeaten Premier League season
Only one club has finished a Premier League season without a defeat.
| Club | Season | Won-drawn-lost | Final position | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 2003/04 | 26-12-0 | 1 | 90 |
Arsenal did not just stay unbeaten; they also won the title and finished 11 points ahead of Chelsea.
How close other teams have come
Set against the best low-defeat seasons in Premier League history, Arsenal's place becomes even clearer.
| Club | Season | Won-drawn-lost | Final position | Points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 2003/04 | 26-12-0 | 1 | 90 |
| Liverpool | 2018/19 | 30-7-1 | 2 | 97 |
| Chelsea | 2004/05 | 29-8-1 | 1 | 95 |
| Manchester City | 2017/18 | 32-4-2 | 1 | 100 |
| Liverpool | 2021/22 | 28-8-2 | 2 | 92 |
| Liverpool | 2008/09 | 25-11-2 | 2 | 86 |
The table shows that coming close is rare but not unique. It also shows that low-defeat seasons belong to both champions and runners-up, so avoiding losses at an elite rate still does not guarantee either an unbeaten campaign or a league title.
The longest unbeaten league runs
Single-season unbeaten records and multi-season unbeaten streaks measure slightly different things, so it helps to keep them separate.
| Club | Matches | First match | Last match |
|---|---|---|---|
| Arsenal | 49 | 7 May 2003 | 16 October 2004 |
| Liverpool | 44 | 12 January 2019 | 24 February 2020 |
| Chelsea | 40 | 23 October 2004 | 29 October 2005 |
Arsenal lead here as well, which adds context to the unbeaten season. Their run began before the unbeaten season and continued into the following one, while Liverpool and Chelsea also built long streaks without matching the top mark. That is why Arsenal's case sits in both discussions: the only unbeaten season and the longest unbeaten league run.
