The Premier League standings 2025-26 are set heading into the final day, with one storyline left to resolve. Arsenal are champions for the first time in 22 years, confirmed by Manchester City’s 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on Tuesday May 19. The top four are locked. Liverpool take fifth and the Europa League slot. The sixth-place Conference League slot is still in play between Bournemouth and Brighton. The third relegation place runs between Tottenham (38pts) and West Ham (36pts) on Sunday May 24, with both clubs at home and kicking off simultaneously at 16:00 BST (11:00 ET).
Below is the live Premier League 2025-26 table, updated after every matchday. One round to go: the final day on Sunday May 24 settles the third relegation place and the open Conference League slot. The title, the top four, and the Europa League spot are all already decided.
Premier League standings 2025-26
The 2025-26 English Premier League table sits one round from completion. All 20 sides have played 37; one matchday remains on Sunday May 24. Recent GW37 results: Aston Villa 4-2 Liverpool (May 15), Manchester United 3-2 Nottingham Forest, Newcastle 3-1 West Ham, Leeds 1-0 Brighton, Everton 1-3 Sunderland, Brentford 2-2 Crystal Palace, Wolves 1-1 Fulham (all May 17), Arsenal 1-0 Burnley (May 18). The two catch-up fixtures on Tuesday May 19 closed out GW37: Bournemouth 1-1 Manchester City (which mathematically confirmed Arsenal’s title) and Chelsea 2-1 Tottenham (which kept the relegation question alive into the final day).
The title race
Arsenal are 2025-26 Premier League champions. The Gunners are on 82 points from 37 games (+43 GD, 69 GF) and cannot be caught by Manchester City, whose maximum from the final-day Aston Villa fixture is 81. The title was secured without Arsenal kicking another ball — the Bournemouth result against City closed the only path the table still had. It is Arsenal’s first Premier League title since the 2003-04 Invincibles, ending a 22-year wait. The Premier League title odds have resolved against everything except Arsenal; the live Polymarket market has compressed to the resolution outcome.
The race for Europe
The top four are locked for next season’s Champions League: Arsenal (82pts), Manchester City (78), Manchester United (68) and Aston Villa (62). Liverpool finish fifth on 59 and take the Europa League slot — the gap to Aston Villa is three with one game left, so even a final-day defeat for Villa at the Etihad would not change the order on a goal-difference basis. The only open European place is sixth, the UEFA Conference League slot. Bournemouth hold it on 56 after the City draw; Brighton sit seventh on 53 with a home fixture against Manchester United still to play. For Brighton to overtake, they need to win at the Amex AND Bournemouth fail to win at Nottingham Forest, with the goal-difference gap (Bournemouth +4, Brighton +9) tilting back toward them. Final European allocations also depend on FA Cup and UEFA coefficient outcomes.
The relegation battle
Wolves (19 points, 37 played) and Burnley (21 points, 37 played) are both mathematically relegated. The two close the season against each other at Turf Moor on May 24, a relegated-sides dead rubber.
The third relegation place runs between Tottenham (17th, 38 points) and West Ham (18th, 36 points). A point for Tottenham at home to Everton would secure Premier League survival unless West Ham manages to overturn Spurs’s superior goal difference. The clean West Ham route is to beat Leeds at home AND Tottenham to lose at home to Everton — that delivers West Ham 39 points to Spurs’s 38 and drops Spurs into the bottom three. A win for Spurs guarantees their Premier League status regardless of what goes on at the London Stadium. Both clubs play at home, five miles apart, kicking off at 16:00 BST.
