The 2025-26 season is about to open. According to official statistics, this season will be Arsenal's 100th consecutive season in England's top league, making it the first team in England to complete this feat. Since entering the top league in England in 1919-20, the Gunners have not been relegated to the sub-level league. They have been playing in the top league in England for a full 100 consecutive seasons, making the opponents behind them far beyond their reach. In the history of England's top league, there are only a handful of teams that have been able to compete in 50 consecutive seasons. Let's take a look at it today.

Manchester United For 51 consecutive seasons

As the team with the most championships in England's top league history, Manchester United's 20 top English champions reflect the team's glorious history. Although Manchester United has not won the Premier League championship for more than 10 seasons, the team is still one of the best teams in the history of the league. In Manchester United's team history, since returning to the top league in 1975, the team has never been relegated from the top league. Although I experienced many seasons of championships during this period, all of this has been changed after Ferguson's arrival. After entering the Premier League era, the team began to dominate the league. The two three consecutive championships have created many classic scenes, winning a total of 13 Premier League championships, making Manchester United the best team in the history of the Premier League. Although he has experienced many years of no championship and has won a shameful 15th place last season, Manchester United has a new beginning in the new season, and fans are still full of expectations.

Sunderland For 57 consecutive seasons, Sunderland broke through the siege from the English Championship play-off last season and was able to return to the top league in England. This season, Sunderland made a lot of signings. The team spent more than 100 million euros to introduce many powerful players to deal with the upcoming Premier League. In the history of Sunderland, he has won six top league championships, but the last time the team won the championship was 90 years ago. In the 1935-36 season, the team won the sixth league championship in team history. Although the Black Cats have been hovering in the secondary league in recent seasons and even fell to the third level in the 2018-19 season, the team once played in the top league for 57 consecutive seasons in the last century. From 1890 to 1958, Sunderland rose and fell in the top league. This season, Black Cats' return to the Premier League may bring unexpected surprises to the team.

Liverpool 64 consecutive seasons, the Reds won the 20th top league championship in the Premier League last season, which also tied Manchester United. The two teams together became the team with the most top league championships. Liverpool recruits players in the summer window this season and has become the team that spends the most in the summer window. Its current cost has exceeded 200 million euros. Newcastle striker Isaac has also recently contacted Liverpool. Perhaps before the summer window is over, Isaac can wear the Reds jersey, and the team's recruitment spending will exceed 300 million euros. With such a bold reinforcement in the lineup, Liverpool will also become the favorite to win the league in the Premier League this season, and the team will have the opportunity to defend the Premier League championship. This season will be the 64th season of the team's top league. Since the team returned to the top league in 1962, it has been playing in the top league.

Everton For 72 consecutive seasons, although Everton has been fighting for relegation in recent seasons, the team has never been relegated. Everton is also one of the six teams in the history of the Premier League and has never been relegated. Everton won the top league championship nine times in his team's history. In the 1984-85 season and 1986-87 season, Everton won two league championships in three seasons, but this was also the last time Everton dominated the league, and the team suffered a decades-long league championship drought. However, since the team returned to the top league in 1954, it has been playing in the top league for 72 consecutive seasons, second only to Everton in the history of the top league in England.

Arsenal 100 consecutive seasons

2025-26 season is the 100th season of Arsenal in the top league in England. After entering the English League One in 1919-20, Arsenal has never been relegated on the stage of the top league in England. In the 100 consecutive seasons of the top league, Arsenal has won 13 top league championships. The team won the first top league championship in the 1930-31 season, and has won many championships in the league. During this period, Manchester United and Liverpool have encountered relegation crisis, but Arsenal has been active in the top league. After entering the Premier League era, Wenger led Arsenal to play the Gunners' beautiful football. The team won the championship three times in the Premier League era. The 2003-04 season created the greatest season in the club's history. The team won the championship with an unbeaten season record and became the only team in Premier League history to win the championship unbeaten. Although the Gunners no longer win the league, the team has always been at the forefront of the league. In the 2025-26 season, with the Gunners ranked second in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons, it is worth the fans' expectations whether Arteta's team can win another league championship for Gun fans.
