The 2018/19 season was the 27th of the Premier League after its formation in 1992.

Below, each of the 26 seasons has been charted with the story of how the titles were won and the players who starred.

From 2011/12's incredible finale, to Arsenal's "Invincibles", as well as Manchester United's record 13 triumphs, find out more about the rich history of the Premier League.
