Premier League final day May 24

Arsenal go into the Premier League’s final day on Sunday, May 24, 2026, with the title already secured, but the table below them is still unsettled. The official Premier League table shows Arsenal on 82 points after 37 matches, four ahead of Manchester City, who can no longer catch them. The remaining stakes are concentrated in two areas: the last relegation place and the final European berth. ### Which parts of the table are still unresolved? The Premier League table published before Sunday’s matches shows Tottenham Hotspur in 17th place on 38 points and West Ham United in 18th on 36 points. Burnley and Wolverhampton Wanderers are already down, leaving one relegation spot still to be decided on the last day. Bournemouth begin the day in sixth place on 56 points, with Brighton & Hove Albion seventh on 53. (premierleague.com) The Premier League table marks sixth as the UEFA Conference League qualification position, making that race the main unresolved issue in the European places. The top five — Arsenal, Manchester City, Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool — are already in the Champions League places in the official standings. ### Why are Tottenham and West Ham the focus at the bottom? Tottenham’s position is the most precarious because they start only one place above the bottom three. USA Today reported that Spurs’ top-flight status would come down to the final day, while NBC Sports said two teams were still trying to stay out of the relegation zone entering Sunday. (premierleague.com) CBS Sports said the relegation battle on the final day centers on Tottenham and West Ham. With Spurs on 38 points and West Ham on 36, West Ham need to make up ground while Tottenham need a result strong enough to stay above them. ### What is still live in the race for Europe? Bournemouth hold the inside track for sixth place because they start three points ahead of Brighton. (usatoday.com) Squawka’s live-table preview said the open Conference League slot was still in play between those two clubs on Sunday, while Sporting News listed the European race as one of the day’s central storylines. NBC Sports described the standings as “absolutely thrilling” beyond the title race because European qualification was still going to the wire. (cbssports.com) That leaves Bournemouth trying to protect sixth and Brighton trying to overturn the gap on the final afternoon. ### How was the title settled before the final whistle on Sunday? Arsenal were confirmed as champions after Manchester City drew 1-1 at Bournemouth on Tuesday, the Premier League said. (squawka.com) That result left City four points behind with one match remaining and ended Arsenal’s 22-year wait for the title. (nbcsports.com) The Premier League had outlined that scenario before the match, saying City dropping points would crown Arsenal before the final day. Arsenal’s closing fixture at Crystal Palace therefore no longer affects the title outcome. ### Which matches matter most on Sunday? The Premier League’s fixture list has all 10 matches kicking off at 4 p.m. local time on Sunday, May 24. (premierleague.com) Sporting News said the simultaneous schedule means the race for Europe and survival will play out across the league at once. The official final-day schedule includes Crystal Palace v Arsenal, Manchester City v Aston Villa, Tottenham Hotspur v Everton and West Ham United v Nottingham Forest. (premierleague.com) Bournemouth and Brighton, the two clubs still contesting sixth place, are also part of the 10-game slate. Sunday’s results will complete the 2025-26 Premier League table, with Arsenal already champions, Tottenham and West Ham contesting survival, and Bournemouth and Brighton still separated by one European place. (premierleague.com) The official standings and fixture pages on PremierLeague.com will update as the 4 p.m. BST kickoffs are played. (premierleague.com)
