Manchester City Women were crowned Women's Super League champions for the first time in a decade on May 6, 2026, without playing a match. The title was secured after Arsenal were held to a 1-1 draw by Brighton & Hove Albion at the Broadfield Stadium in Crawley, England.
The result left Arsenal in third place, unable to catch City, who had already finished their season. This marks the end of Chelsea's six-year dominance in the league, as they finished second.
City's victory was confirmed with a game to spare, highlighting their consistent performance throughout the season. The team, managed by Gareth Taylor, celebrated the achievement while watching the Arsenal match on television.
