Premier League Glory: Who Last Won What – From Burnley’s 1960 crown to United’s 2024 coup

Trophies are the game’s hardest currency. Some Premier League clubs stack them like Panini stickers; others live off sepia-toned memories and tales from the old boys. In recent years we’ve seen the narrative flip in places — West Ham breaking a 43-year hoodoo in 2023, and Newcastle finally getting their hands on silver in 2025. But when did each current top-flight club last taste the big time?
Quick ground rules: we’re talking major honours only — league titles, FA Cups and League Cups domestically, and the recognised UEFA competitions in Europe. No Super Cup, Club World Cup or Community Shield in this count. And a nod to Brentford, Bournemouth, Brighton and Fulham, who are still waiting for their first major pot. For those who like a flutter and scour the best betting sites, here’s your form guide — and a reminder that nothing rewrites a club’s story like lifting a trophy.
16) Burnley — 2 May 1960 (First Division)
The Clarets have history running through the walls at Turf Moor. Their last major triumph came when they pipped Wolves by a point and kept Spurs at arm’s length to be crowned champions of England. A proper, old-school title race — and a wait that’s now stretching towards seven decades.
15) Sunderland — 5 May 1973 (FA Cup)
One of English football’s grand clubs, Sunderland shocked the country at Wembley by felling a powerhouse Leeds side while still a division below. Ian Porterfield’s tidy finish wrote him into Mackem folklore, on a day when the underdogs refused to budge.
14) Wolverhampton Wanderers — 15 March 1980 (League Cup)
Old Gold edged European champions Nottingham Forest thanks to Andy Gray’s 67th-minute strike past Peter Shilton. Wolves had lifted the same cup six years earlier, but since 1980 it’s been a long old slog without silverware despite re-establishing themselves in the Premier League.
13) Nottingham Forest — 29 April 1990 (League Cup)
On the competition’s 30th anniversary, Brian Clough’s Forest did the business against Oldham. Des Walker took Man of the Match honours; Nigel Jemson grabbed the decisive goal. A far cry from the late-’70s European dominance, but a cherished final flourish nonetheless.
12) Leeds United — 3 May 1992 (First Division)
Howard Wilkinson’s side were relentless in the final season before the Premier League arrived — just four defeats in 42 and four points clear of Manchester United. Back among the big boys again, the Whites are banking on smart ownership to shorten the gap to glory.
11) Everton — 20 May 1995 (FA Cup)
The Toffees’ last big day out ended with Paul Rideout nodding in against Manchester United. Everton have flirted with ending the drought since — most notably in 2009 — but that blue ribbon has proved maddeningly elusive.
10) Aston Villa — 24 March 1996 (League Cup)
Villa bullied Leeds 3–0, closing the show after a dominant first half with goals from Ian Taylor and Dwight Yorke. It matched Liverpool’s record haul in the competition at the time. With Unai Emery at the helm and European nights back on the menu, Villa Park finally feels like a stage built for more medals.
9) Arsenal — 1 August 2020 (FA Cup)
Behind closed doors but full-blooded all the same, the Gunners overturned Chelsea as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang struck twice after Christian Pulisic’s opener. Mateo Kovacic saw red late on, and Arsenal reaffirmed their status as the FA Cup’s record holders.
8) West Ham United — 7 June 2023 (UEFA Europa Conference League)
The Irons’ night of nights in Prague. Said Benrahma struck from the spot, Giacomo Bonaventura levelled, and then Jarrod Bowen burst through at the death to end 43 years of yearning. For a fanbase built on defiance and noise, it was cathartic, spine-tingling stuff.
7) Manchester United — 25 May 2024 (FA Cup)
Erik ten Hag’s lot beat Newcastle at Wembley to bag the 2023 League Cup, then went one better a year later by besting Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the FA Cup final — a showpiece lit up by Kobbie Mainoo’s star turn. The twist? Ten Hag earned a new deal off the back of it, only to be shown the door midway through 2024/25.
And a fresh entry to the honours board… Newcastle United — 2025 (League Cup)
After decades of near-misses and what-ifs, the Magpies finally snapped the drought by lifting the Carabao Cup in 2025 — a landmark moment that should stiffen spines on Tyneside for seasons to come.
The bigger picture
Silverware brings the bragging rights that money can’t buy. Some clubs are chasing the next parade; others just want another day out under the arch. However you slice it, the cycle turns quickly — and the next name on this list might be closer than you think.
