Manchester, May 7, 2026
Manchester City has secured the English women's football championship without even playing, while Austrian national team player Laura Wienroither celebrates her first title in the Women's Super League.
Title Secured Through Others' Results
The decisive step toward the title came for Manchester City thanks to a 1-1 draw between Arsenal and Brighton & Hove Albion on May 7, 2026. This result ensured that Chelsea, the chasing team, could no longer overtake them. This ends Chelsea's streak of six consecutive league titles, as they had dominated English football in recent years.
For Manchester City, this marks their first title win since 2016. The team managed to prevail against strong competition this season, despite often being overshadowed by Chelsea in recent years. The London-based club had already won the League Cup earlier in the season, but this time, it wasn’t enough to secure the league title.
