No. Southampton have never won the Premier League. Their best finish was 6th in 2015/16, their last Premier League season was 2024/25, and they are not in the 2026/27 league.
The title answer is straightforward
Southampton were one of the 22 founding clubs in the first Premier League season in 1992/93, but they never finished top of the table. They had long stretches in the competition, yet a long presence is different from being champions.
| Item | Result |
|---|---|
| Premier League title | No |
| Best finish | 6th in 2015/16 |
| In the 2026/27 Premier League | No |
| Most recent Premier League season | 2024/25 |
Only 7 clubs have won the Premier League: Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Blackburn Rovers and Leicester City. Southampton are not on that list, so the historical record is clear.
How Southampton's Premier League history is split up
The club's time in the Premier League came in separate spells, and each spell ended with relegation.
| Spell | Seasons | How it ended |
|---|---|---|
| First spell | 1992/93–2004/05 | Relegated (20th, 32 points) |
| Second spell | 2012/13–2022/23 | Relegated (20th, 25 points) |
| Third spell | 2024/25 | Relegated (20th, 12 points) |
Southampton were present at the start of the competition and later made two returns after time away. Their overall Premier League story is one of re-entry followed by another drop, rather than a climb toward the top.
The latest stay was especially short. After 2024/25, Southampton spent 1 season outside the Premier League, and they are also absent from the 2026/27 set of 20 clubs.
What the all-time record says
The full Premier League record shows a club with a long history in the competition, but not one that reached champion level.
| Played | Won | Drawn | Lost | Goals for | Goals against | Points | All-time rank |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 962 | 282 | 254 | 426 | 1,140 | 1,441 | 1,100 | 11th |
That record covers the period from 1992/93 to 2024/25. An all-time rank of 11th shows that Southampton were a significant Premier League club over time, but a goal difference of -301 is far from the profile of a title winner.
Their lowest Premier League finish was 20th, and it happened in 2004/05, 2022/23 and 2024/25. The most recent Premier League campaign also ended bottom of the table and with relegation.
