Arsenal are champions. Twenty-two years of hurt, done. But the title party is background noise on Sunday afternoon, because the final day of the 2025/26 Premier League season delivers the kind of simultaneous drama that makes this competition the best in the world. A relegation battle with genuine London pride at stake. A last Champions League spot hanging by three points. Here is everything you need to know before the 4pm kick-offs.

The Relegation Scrap: A London Shootout

Burnley and Wolves are already mathematically done. That leaves one trapdoor open, and it has set up a final-day shootout between two of London’s most historic clubs. Spurs hold a two-point lead, but nothing is safe yet.

Tottenham Hotspur
vs Everton — Home
To stay up
Win or draw. One point is all it takes to guarantee survival at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
To go down
Lose to Everton AND West Ham beat Leeds. That is the only combination that sends Spurs to the Championship.
West Ham United
vs Leeds United — Home
To stay up
Win, and hope Spurs lose. Nothing less than three points gives Nuno’s side any chance at all.
Already gone if
They fail to win, regardless of the Spurs result. A draw or a loss condemns them to the Championship.
Goal Difference is decisive If West Ham win and Spurs draw, both clubs finish on 39 points. But Spurs’ goal difference of -10 leaves West Ham’s -22 far behind. A draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is functionally as good as a win for Spurs’ survival hopes.

Roberto De Zerbi’s side host Everton knowing a point ends this particular nightmare. Nuno Espírito Santo’s Hammers must go to work on Leeds and then watch the big screen. The last London derby that mattered like this was a long time ago.

Who Grabs the Final UCL Spot?

Because Premier League clubs performed well enough in European competition this season, England earned an extra European Performance Spot. That means fifth place is going straight into next season’s Champions League. Four clubs are already locked in — Arsenal, City, United, and Villa. The fifth seat belongs to Liverpool or Bournemouth.

Liverpool
vs Brentford — Anfield
Driver’s seat
A draw at Anfield is enough. Three points clear with a six-goal advantage on goal difference makes this Arne Slot’s to lose.
Can they be caught?
Only if Liverpool lose AND Bournemouth win by seven or more. Essentially impossible.
Bournemouth
vs Nottm Forest — Away
The miracle scenario
Win at Forest, hope Brentford beat Liverpool, and overturn a six-goal deficit in the process. Andoni Iraola’s side have been outstanding — 17 games unbeaten — but this would require something extraordinary.
If it stays as is
Sixth place earns them UEFA Europa League football. Still a remarkable season for the Cherries.
Arsenal: 22 Years. Done.

While the rest of the table burns on Sunday, Arsenal players will lift the Premier League trophy after their home game. Mikel Arteta’s side sealed the title with a game to spare — their first league championship since 2004.

Europa, Conference and One Record to Break

Brighton, Chelsea and Brentford are all separated by a single point going into the final fixtures, with the lower continental places still completely open depending on domestic cup outcomes and final positions.

Chelsea travel to Sunderland knowing a win could move them into seventh and guaranteed European qualification. Brighton face a Manchester United side that already has its mind on the summer transfer window.

One to Watch — Danny Welbeck Brighton’s Welbeck sits on 13 Premier League goals going into Sunday. A goal against his former club Manchester United would take him to 14 and leapfrog Ollie Watkins to become the top-scoring English player in the top flight this season. Not bad at 35.
