Premier League 2025/26 ended with Arsenal finally breaking the 22-year title wait on 85 points, while Bournemouth and promoted Sunderland turned the European race into beautiful nonsense.

At the bottom, West Ham went down on the final day, Burnley followed them back into the pain pit, and Wolves finished last after a season that never found the exit door.
