List of champion clubs by titles won
24 clubs have won the English top level title, including seven which have won the Premier League (1992–). The most recent to join the list were Leicester City (2015–16) and before that, Nottingham Forest (1977–78) and Derby County (1971–72). Seven teams have at some point held first or joint first place in the number of titles won: Preston North End (1889–1895), Sunderland (1893–1899, 1936–1953), Aston Villa (1897–1953), Arsenal (1948–1976), Liverpool (1966–1971, 1973–2011, 2025–), Manchester United (1967–1971, 2009–), and Everton (1970–1971). Eight teams have finished as runners-up without ever finishing top: Bristol City (1906–07), Oldham Athletic (1914–15), Cardiff City (1923–24), Charlton Athletic (1936–37), Blackpool (1955–56), Queens Park Rangers (1975–76), Watford (1982–83), and Southampton (1983–84). Of these, Cardiff City came closest to winning the league, matching champions Huddersfield Town in points but losing out on goal average (goals scored divided by goals conceded), the precursor to goal difference. Where teams in the table are tied for championship wins, they are ordered by earliest title won. ==See also==
