Arsenal are in the box seat to successfully defend their 2025/26 crown according to the latest Premier League odds. The Gunners are odds-on after making a strong start to the campaign, although they haven't been foot perfect and perhaps it will be a more open title race than the prices suggest.
Manchester City's future is uncertain after the Premier League charges came to light although a 100% start means that their Premier League winner odds will be value for some punters. Liverpool will also hope to challenge but have made a modest start to the season, with Chelsea also stumbling in the past couple of matches. Perhaps there's some each-way value considering that Brighton have made a strong start, with Brentford and Leeds United also near the top of the early Premier League table. However, it's Arsenal who dominate the betting market and their price has shortened since Manchester City's misdemeanours came to light.

Many football fans like to bet on the Premier League winner odds. At the beginning of the season, the Premier League betting sites will create a market where the twenty participating teams have a price to become champions. Realistically, there's only a handful of clubs who will top the table in May, although it can often be a competitive heat all the way to the line.
These Premier League odds are updated after each round of top-flight fixtures. The bookmakers will lengthen or shorten a team's price on the market depending on how their season is panning out. It's often the case that we have different favourites throughout the competition, with customers able to place antepost bets.
Bet Win or Each-Way on the Premier League Champions
All Premier League betting sites will give you the chance to either bet win-only or alternatively place an each-way bet. For example, if Liverpool are 10/1 to become champions, then you can either stake money directly on them to win or alternatively split your stake between the Reds to win and the Reds to finish in the top two spots.
An each-way Premier League winner bet means that you can get a return if your selected team finishes second. For the place part of the bet, you can get a quarter of the odds as a pay out. Some bookmakers might extend the number of place terms to three, especially at the beginning of the season. There may come a point where each-way terms are no longer available.
How to Bet on Premier League Winner
In terms of the Premier League winner odds, you will see a small number of teams operating at a short price. The majority of the field will be much bigger in the market. With the odd exception such as Leicester City in 2016, the outsiders don't tend to stand much of a chance. It's realistically going to come down to just the favourites battling it out most seasons.
This market is open throughout the season and some punters will wait for the first few matches to be played. Alternatively, there's the chance to combine the Premier League winner with other selections in a long-term accumulator bet. For example, you might pick Arsenal to win the division and combine this with the winner of La Liga, Serie A or the Bundesliga.
We recommend having a number of betting accounts in order to take full advantage. That means that you're able to secure the best odds whichever team you back considering that the prices can be compared. There's also the chance to claim a welcome bonus considering that you can register an account and get free bets when you place a qualifying wager.
Bet Without the Premier League Favourite
Sometimes the Premier League betting sites will offer a market without the favourite. If one team is well clear of the chasing pack, it might be that you can place a wager on a team which will win if they beat the rest of the competition. This market tends to become available when there's an odds-on favourite or a runaway leader.
Therefore, if you have a strong view on the side that will finish at least second (and even usurp the favourite), then you can bet on this market. Sometimes, there is each-way betting available where you can be paid out if a team finished third or even fourth.
Who Are the Past Premier League Champions?
Going back to the 2015-16 season, Leicester City were 5000/1 before a ball was kicked. The Foxes then proceeded to pull off the biggest shock in Premier League history. However, it was a massive outlier compared to what normally happens. Market leaders tend to come through and win.
Arsenal returned to the winners' enclosure in the 2025/26 season, with the Gunners landing a fourteenth top-flight title. That came a year after Liverpool got over the line in 2024/25, although this was preceded by four straight victories for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola led the team to a string of victories which have been somewhat tarnished by the Premier League charges.
City also won consecutive titles in 2018 and 2019 before Liverpool ended a thirty-year wait in 2020 to be crowned champions of England. Chelsea's latest success came in the 2016-17 season and they also won in 2014-15 before Leicester City pulled off the unthinkable.
