Liverpool fans are walking on sunshine again. After a long and thrilling season, the Reds have finally been crowned 2024-25 Premier League champions.
They sealed the title with four games still left to play — a truly special achievement.
The big question now is: where does this title win rank among the earliest in Premier League history?
After their recent win against Tottenham, Liverpool have dominated the race, pulling 15 points clear of Arsenal after 34 games. But as sweet as it tastes, it’s not quite the earliest finish English football has seen.
Let’s take a look at how this triumph compares to the fastest title wins over the years.

Liverpool’s four-games-to-spare victory puts them high up on the list, but not at the very top.
Their 2019-20 squad still holds that honour. Back then, Liverpool clinched the title with seven games left after Manchester City stumbled against Chelsea.
No club has ever crossed the finish line earlier.
The 2019-20 season was no ordinary ride either. A pandemic paused the action, but nothing could stop the Reds from lifting the trophy.
It was Liverpool’s first league title in 30 years. As Jurgen Klopp said throughout the seasons, it was about “turning doubters into believers” — and boy, did they believe.
| Team | Year | Games Left |
|---|---|---|
| Liverpool | 2024-25 | 4 |
| Liverpool | 2019-20 | 7 |
| Manchester City | 2017-18 | 5 |
| Manchester United | 2000-01 | 5 |
| Manchester United | 1907-08 | 5 |
| Everton | 1984-85 | 5 |
Manchester City also know a thing or two about wrapping things up early. In 2017-18, they secured the crown with five games left after a shock Manchester United loss to West Brom. That City side was unstoppable, setting records for wins, points, and goals.
Manchester United’s 2000-01 title win also came with five games to go. Arsenal’s slip-up handed them the crown early, even though United’s points total was among the lowest for a champion.
Before the Premier League era, Everton and Manchester United also bagged the title with five matches to spare, showing that fast finishes are not just a modern-day thing.
Liverpool’s 2024-25 title might not break records for timing, but in the hearts of the fans, it’s right up there.
Another season, another chapter in their proud history. Looks like Anfield’s trophy cabinet is running out of space again!
