As of 2025, Manchester United and Liverpool had won the English top-flight more times than any other team, with a total of 20 titles each. The league was most recently won by Liverpool in 2024/25, with coach Arne Slot guiding the Reds to success in his first season at the club. Which teams have been most successful in the Premier League era? The Premier League was founded in 1992, replacing the old First Division as the highest tier of English football. Since then, the league has reached new heights financially, having the highest revenue out of the Big Five leagues in Europe. Manchester United have won the most league titles since 1992, with a total of 13. However, local rivals Manchester City have dominated in recent years, winning the Premier League six times since 2018 alone. The other teams that have won the Premier League on more than one occasion are Chelsea, Arsenal, and Liverpool. What does the future hold for Manchester City? Manchester City’s dominance has sometimes called the Premier League’s competitiveness into question, with the club’s resources far exceeding most teams in the league. Overall, City had the second-highest revenue out of any club worldwide in 2023/24, with only Real Madrid generating more. However, uncertainty over the club’s 115 alleged breaches of Financial Fair Play rules and a difficult 2024/25 season mean that things may not be plain sailing for City from now on – welcome news to fans of Liverpool and Arsenal, who have narrowly missed out on titles in recent years.

In the English Premier League, the Golden Boot is awarded to the player(s) who scores the most league goals throughout the season. Since the 1888/89 season, the year of the first top flight season in English football, 109 different individuals have been named "top goal scorer" over 127 seasons. In the 2024/25 season, Liverpool's Mohamed Salah won the Golden Boot for the fourth time in eight seasons. Manchester City's Erling Haaland was the top goalscorer in the previous two seasons, including his record-breaking tally of 36 goals in his debut season in 2022/23. Premier League records Current records are generally given in the context of the past three decades, as the total number of games was reduced from 42 to 38 per season in 1995 (in the Premier League's fourth season). In the Premier League era, Thierry Henry and Mohamed Salah have won the Golden Boot more times than anybody else, winning this accolade four times each. Alan Shearer, who won three consecutive Golden Boots in the 90s, is the Premier League's all-time top goal scorer, with 260 goals. Interestingly, Wayne Rooney, who is the Premier League's third-highest goal scorer of all time, never won a Golden Boot. All-time records Outside the Premier League era, Jimmy Greaves has been the top scorer in England more times than any other player, appearing at the top of the list six times between 1958 and 1969, during his career with Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspurs. Derby County's Steve Bloomer finished five seasons as the league's top scorer between 1895 and 1904. The highest ever tally in a single season was sixty goals, which was scored by Everton's Dixie Dean in the 1927/28 season. Greaves, Bloomer, and Dean are also the three top goalscorers of all time in the English league, with 357, 314 and 310 goals respectively. Players from Tottenham have been named top scorer more than players from any other club, appearing 13 times on this list. 20 different nationalities are represented here, and although the vast majority of players are English, there were 16 times where the top scorer in the First Division was Scottish. A much wider variety of nationalities has been represented in recent years, including in the 2018/19 season where it was shared between three players from different African nations.

As of 2023, the youngest goal scorer in Premier League history James Vaughan, who scored against Crystal Palace while playing for Everton in 2005. At the time, the English forward was 16 years and 270 days old.

As of January 2025, Leicester City's Jamie Vardy held the record for the longest goal scoring run in Premier League history, scoring in 11 consecutive games in the 2015/16 season. Meanwhile, Ruud van Nistelrooy scored in 10 consecutive games for Manchester United in 2003.
