Founded in 1992, the Premier League was created to replace the old First Division and bring in more TV money, better branding, and fancier goal graphics. Since then, it has grown into the most-watched football league on the planet, featuring some of the most legendary teams, managers, and players in history.
From the dominance of Manchester United in the ’90s and 2000s to Chelsea’s rise under Roman Abramovich, to the modern-day Manchester City dynasty, the Premier League has seen it all. But the real fun? The shocks, surprises, and slip-ups (yes, we’re looking at you, Steven Gerrard).
Manchester United (13 titles): The undisputed kings of the Premier League era, thanks largely to Sir Alex Ferguson.
Manchester City (8 titles): The new dominant force, winning six titles in the last decade.
Chelsea (5 titles): The 2004-06 Mourinho era put them on the map, and they’ve stayed near the top since.
Arsenal (3 titles): Including the legendary Invincibles season (2003-04), where they remained unbeaten.
Leicester City (2015-16): The ultimate underdog story—5,000-1 odds and they still did it.
Liverpool (2019-20): Finally ended their 30-year wait, and they did it in style with 99 points.
The trophy is returned three weeks before the final match of the season—unless you’re Sergio Ramos (who once dropped a different trophy under a bus).
From United’s early dominance to City’s modern-day supremacy, the Premier League remains the greatest football league in the world. Each season delivers drama, passion, and the occasional Jose Mourinho meltdown. Whether you’re cheering for a title contender or praying your team avoids relegation, the Premier League never disappoints.
