Images: Gunners supporters turn out in force for Premier League title celebration undeterred by Champions League disappointment

Arsenal's triumphant squad, including Declan Rice, Jurrien Timber, Martin Odegaard, Mikel Arteta, William Saliba, and Gabriel Magalhaes, basked in the adoration of their fans as they displayed the Premier League trophy during a jubilant parade in London on May 31, 2026, marking the team's first title since the 2003-04 season.

Thousands of ecstatic Arsenal supporters gathered in the streets of North London, setting aside their disappointment over the team's failed bid for European glory, to catch a glimpse of their heroes riding atop an open-top bus, waving flags, and cheering amidst a sea of red-and-white colours.

The enthusiastic crowd, donning the club's iconic colours, chanted and cheered as they celebrated their team's first English Premier League title in 22 years, with some fans going to great lengths to get a glimpse of Mikel Arteta's side, climbing trees, roofs, and traffic lights along the route.

Arsenal's Premier League title was confirmed on May 19, when Manchester City drew at Bournemouth, securing the top spot for the North London team, and although they had hoped to clinch a double by winning their first Champions League trophy, they suffered a heartbreaking loss to Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest on Saturday.

The Champions League final, which ended in a 1-1 draw after extra time, saw Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhaes miss crucial penalties in the shoot-out, allowing Paris Saint-Germain to claim their second consecutive European title.

Kai Havertz had given Arsenal an early lead, but Ousmane Dembele equalised for the French side from the spot in the second half, setting the stage for the thrilling, yet ultimately disappointing, conclusion to the match.

Arsenal's Premier League title marked a triumphant end to a season that saw the team finish as runners-up in the league for the previous three years, and the parade, which began at 2:00 pm (1300 GMT), was scheduled to take two hours to complete its nine-kilometre (5.6-mile) route through the Islington area.

The celebratory procession included four buses, one of which carried the Arsenal Women's team, who had won the inaugural Women's Champions Cup in February, adding to the joyous atmosphere of the occasion.
