When is the earliest the Premier League title could be won?

Arsenal hold a five-point lead over Manchester City in the Premier League title race after a 1-0 win at West Ham United on 10 May 2026, while City had earlier closed the gap to two points with a 3-0 win over Brentford. Arsenal could clinch the title as early as Monday 18 May when they host relegated Burnley, provided Manchester City drop points against Crystal Palace on 13 May. A win for Arsenal in that scenario would put them at least seven points clear with only six points remaining for City.
