Manchester City needed a win to take the title race to the final day, but the draw handed Arsenal the title and helped Bournemouth qualify for Europe.
It was Arsenal’s first Premier League title win since the 2003/04 season when they won it unbeaten under legendary manager Arsene Wenger.
The fans began their celebrations across the world and on social media after their club triumphed at the fourth time of asking under Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal's Premier League prize money
According to Express UK, Arsenal will earn an estimated £176-178 million for winning the title, with actual figures to be confirmed by the league later.
The prize money is a cumulative of different earning criteria, which include the guaranteed share, league ranking payment and TV broadcast money.
Arsenal will earn a guaranteed payment of £96.9 million, a baseline fee paid to all 20 clubs not taking into account their position or status.
The fee consists of £29.8m from domestic TV rights, £59.2m from international broadcast rights, and a central commercial payment of £7.9m.
The league ranking bonus is an estimated £2.655 million per position, starting from the 20th-placed team and increasing all the way up to £53.1 million for the champion.
The final payment criterion is the live TV fee. As not all matches are broadcast in the UK, teams earn money when their games are selected for TV broadcast.
Champions Arsenal, which have remained in the race from the start, were heavily televised and are set to earn between £24.9 to £27.4 million.
This takes the estimated earnings to around £176-178 million. 2024/25 champions Liverpool earned £174.9 million, while Arsenal earned £171.5 million for finishing second.
The Gunners will also earn championship bonuses from their sponsors, including primary partners Adidas and Emirates.
